2011 Bentley Continental GT
According to our British sources, we found out today that the facelifted version of the Bentley Continental GT will make its official debut in September at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. This will be the second and final facelift ahead of the new generation. The second facelift for the British luxury coupe will consist of a completely new front design, new air vents as well as new headlights featuring daytime running LEDs. What is really interesting is that the new car is going to receive the new W12 engine found on the recently introduced 2011 Audi A8 W12 Quattro. On the Audi, the 6.3-liter W12 engine delivers 500 hp an 625 Nm (460.98 lb-ft) at engine speeds at 3,250 rpm. The car can accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.9 seconds has a top speed of 250 km/h (155.34 mph). For the new Continental GT, Bentley is expected to use the same engine but also two turbochargers, in order to obtain over 600 hp.
