Paris 2010: 2011 Bentley Continental GT, live and in the flesh

2011 Bentley Continental GT live debut

Here is your first glimpse at the redesigned 2011 Bentley Continental GT as it makes its world debut at the Paris Motor Show. Earlier, we mentioned that it will receive a nearly four percent price hike over the previous model, which is nothing compared to the overall improvements the new car has received.

Like any car, it has good and bad angles (obviously, the exception to this rule is the Maserati GranTurisumo which looks beautiful from every angle...) – we'll hold off final judgment until we can see it outside in natural light, not surrounded by a mob of flash bulbs and clamoring journalists.

Bentley Continental GT coupe has sold in 22,000 copies., So when you update the engineers decided that the best is the enemy of the good and continued to stay the course, which brings a good profit.

It is therefore to distinguish the new Bentley Continental GT from its predecessor with a cursory glance not so easy.

Designers only slightly tweaked the exterior of the model. In particular, the novelty more elegant traced the front of a car, where there are slightly different bumper and front fenders, and the grid air now completely withdrawn coarse grid. Behind - a new bumper with lip, visually extending the tailgate, which, it should be noted, now looks very questionable (she lifted above the surface of the wings), as well as more elongated pipes exhaust. The most noticeable distinguishing detail is the new lighting at both the front and rear. Designers enlarge the domestic front (main) headlights, giving them similar to those of the current flagship Mulsanne. The rear lights, on the contrary, became smaller, but pay more attention to himself.

With regard to technical stuffing, then the model was 65 pounds lighter, and has repurposed dampers and recalibrated steering. Under the hood "basic" on the mighty 6-liter W12, which develops 575 hp and 700 Nm. After a 6-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, he is able to disperse the model space before the first hundred for 4.4 seconds. Top speed is 318 km / h. Very intriguing will be changed with a new 4-liter 8-cylinder engine, which is officially promise to report next spring. According to the company, it will reduce fuel consumption in comparison with the flagship model of almost 40% with insignificant decrease in dynamic performance.

Sales of the new Bentley Continental GT will start in early 2011.
