2011 Bentley Continetal GT
As expected, Bentley unveiled today the 2011 Continental GT 4-seat coupe, a facelifted version of their popular vehicle which will make its world debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. As you can see, the new car features a completely new front fascia with LED daytime running lights as well as new tail lights and revised bumpers.
The track is wider by 41mm at the front and 48mm at the rear than the previous model. Under the hood we find the same 6.0-liter W12 engine delivering 575PS (567bhp/423kW) and 700Nm (516lb ft) of torque and mated to a new Quickshift transmission which enables double downshifts.
The engine can push the car 60mph in 4.4 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds), to 100mph in 10.2 seconds (0-160km/h in 10.2 seconds) and to a top speed of 198 mph (318km/h). The engine can run on both standard unleaded petrol (gasoline) and sustainable bioethanol (up to E85) or any mix of the two.
The car features an entirely hand-crafted interior, and the unique 'Cobra' design seats are supremely comfortable thanks to the latest body-supporting materials which use complex foams to provide softness but with excellent support over longer journeys. The interior design is completed by the new touchscreen technology with rich map imagery and a 30GB on board hard drive. The 8-inch screen display can show you information regarding the car's audio system, telephone, ride and comfort settings and the very latest navigation system. Bentley also introduces an 11-speaker Naim sound system which employs revolutionary Dirac Dimensions digital signal processing.
