The third generation Continental GT has moved to a new platform from the Porsche Panamera model. Dimensions have hardly changed, except for the wheelbase that has grown by 105 mm, but the overall length has decreased by 13 mm (4805 mm).
The design of the new Continental GT has retained its recognizable style, but has become more elegant, especially in the "tail" part of the coupe.
The interior has also not undergone drastic changes, but has acquired a fully digital instrument panel and a 12-inch multimedia system screen that can be hidden behind a veneer-finished panel.
Under the hood of the model is a six-liter turbocharged W12 engine with 635 hp and a torque of 900 Nm. It is paired with an 8-speed "robot" gearbox, which was also shared by the "Panamera".
The new tandem is capable of accelerating the sports coupe to 333 km/h (+14 km/h, reaching the first hundred in 3.7 seconds (-0.8 seconds). Average fuel consumption is 12.2 l/100 km.
The official presentation of the new Bentley Continental GT will take place in early autumn at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
