First off, the 4-seat coupe comes with a new headlamp design incorporating the LED daytime running lights, the classic Bentley matrix grille that has been slightly redesigned, 'floating' LED laps at the rear, and elliptical exhaust pipes.
Rounding off the look are the 20-inch alloy wheels as standard, with, for the first time on the Continental family, the option to upgrade to 21-inch designs. Three styles of wheel are offered – a 20-inch five-spoke version and two 21-inch Elegant and split-rim Sports variations, which come in a variety of chromed and painted finishes.
Inside, the 2011 Continental GT sports a new interior with a redesigned dashboard and instrument panel, ‘cobra’-design seats, a new touchscreen, 30GB infotainment system, audio systems feature the latest wide frequency Balance Mode Radiator speakers as standard, as well as an 11-speaker Naim system with Dirac Dimensions digital signal processing DSP.
“The new Continental GT is an automotive work of art, with superb craftsmanship and elegant, contemporary design. It drives like a supercar, but without the usual sacrifices in ride or practicality. It is a car that you can enjoy every moment of every day,” Franz-Josef Paefgen, Chairman and Chief Executive at Bentley, said in a statement.
