First launched in 2003, the large coupe has been a best seller internationally and in its second generation gets a reworked exterior, interior and powertrain.
While the car’s exterior holds a resemblance to the previous model the 2011 GT gains a more assertive look with LED headlights, prominent front fenders and an upright grille.
The 2011 Bentley Continental GT is powered by a 567bhp, 6.0-litre W12 engine with dual turbochargers. The engine’s power is channelled via a six-speed Quickshift transmission and Bentley claims the car can do the 0-100kph sprint in just 4.4 seconds and hit a top speed of over 320kph.
Bentley will also introduce a 4.0-litre V8 version of the new GT next year. The interior is features a new sleeker dashboard with a central touchscreen interface, new seats, door pads and new equipment. Bentley claims the rear of the new GT offers more legroom than its predecessor as well.
