BENTLEY Continental GT 2015-2017 Photos, engines & full specs

Another refresh for the iconic Bentley Continental GT came by in 2015, making it look and feel sharper and more modern.

For the aesthetic part, the new Continental GT Speed boasted with a wider, bigger lower grille, more pronounced wheel arches, a redesigned trunk lid, new wider rear bumper, a new set of rims as well as different diffuser designs for the V8 S and GT versions. A beautiful green color was also part of the change.

Inside, you’d find a redesigned steering wheel with bigger paddle shifters, new-pattern quilted seats, updated instrument panel, LED illumination, new black gear lever surrounding and hidden storage spaces under the seats for the V8 and V8 S models.

Under the hood, there was a revised W12 engine that offered both more power and a better mileage. The car reached 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds.

While already comfortable enough, if drivers wanted to enhance their ride, they could switch through four grades, from Comfort to Sport and vice versa, to suit their mood.

The smart feature of the model consists in the ‘variable displacement’ system. While the 12 cylinders were working all at the same time, providing magnificent power, 6 of them could be shut down for fuel efficiency purposes. Of course, it was not that much of a saving as it was a thirsty car, but it could go up to a saving of 5%.
