The Paris International Motor Show held last month had on display the refreshed and re-powered 2011 Bentley Continental GT. Now we have some latest images of the car which has been released by the British maker of the car. The photo shoot must have taken place somewhere in the Middle East going by the license plate and the surroundings that can be seen.
The original luxury sports coupe car of 2003 has undergone a massive face lift and makeup as is evident from the images. It is also evident that the inspiration for this make up has come from the new Mulsanne flagship. The design is much crispier especially so at the front with the new grille and gemstone headlights, while the signature styling cues have been retained.
The dashboard has also been reshaped and instrument panel consists of updated touch screen interface for the audio and navigation systems.
The engine also has been changed to a 6.0 liter twin-turbocharged W12 delivering 575-horsepower and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of peak torque. There is also news that Bentley will enhance the Continental GT’s range with an all-new 8-cylinder engine in the later period of 2011 and details would be made available just before launch.
