The new Bentley Continental GT is here!
It retains the ever-recognisable shape of the Continental that we all know and love, but there’s one HUGE change compared to the previous edition. The W12 engine is gone, and in its place is a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 along with an electric motor!!
So let’s take a closer look at what’s changed. Starting with the design, it’s still instantly recognisable as a Continental. There are new headlights and taillights, and up the front there’s a redesigned bumper. Along the side there are extended side skirts, and the front & rear wings have been updated but are still relatively similar to before. Bentley has clearly taken inspiration from the Batur and Bacalar for this car!
Step inside and the comfort and quality are clear to see. There’s a new infotainment system and some refreshed digital dials, and as you’d expect there are soft-touch, high-quality materials throughout!
Then we come on to the engine. The all-new V8 combines with the electric motor to produce an incredible 782hp and 1,000Nm! The new Continental has the same 208hp top speed as before, and although we don’t know the weight yet, we know it won’t affect performance, as this car will fly to 60mph in just 3.3 seconds!
So what do you think - are these updates worthy of the Continental GT’s heritage? Let us know in the comments!
