ONYX Presents the 2010 Bentley Continental Platinium GTO

The Irish tuners at ONYX recently revealed a upgrade program for the Bentley Continental GT, one of Britain’s top luxury vehicles. Dubbed the 2010 Bentley Continental Platinium GTO, the new aerodynamics package includes a new front bumper with carbon fiber inserts, daytime running lamps, a carbon fiber lower splitter and new side skirts.

As for the rear of the car, the ONYX Bentley Continental Platinium GTO offers a new bumper, carbon fiber diffuser and a boot lid carbon fiber deck spoiler. The interior of the ONYX Bentley Continental Platinium GTO features various carbon fiber and leather accents.

In terms of performance, the ONYX Bentley Continental Platinium GTO offers an ECU re-mapping for the 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine, which takes the power up from the standard 550 hp to 640 hp. The team behind the project also applied their own suspension lowering system.

The ONYX Bentley Continental Platinium GTO sits on 22-inch TPM matt black wheels and a lowered suspension. However, ONYX have said that they have another 2 wheel designs that they will be launching shortly.

ONYX is expected to release full details including pricing of the package later this year, as the program is still in early stages of development. The ONYX Bentley Continental Platinium GTO will be available in March 2010. Prototype vehicles are also in progress for the Range Rover Vogue and Porsche Cayenne.
