Bentley Continental GT V8 S coupe & convertible unveiled in Frankfurt

Bentley has unveiled the Continental GT V8 S at the ongoing Frankfurt Motor Show.

Appearing to be bold and aggressive, the Continental GT V8 S can be distinguished by a front splitter, revised side sills and a rear diffuser. Other highlights of the model include red brake calipers and exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels. In the interiors, not much changes has been done, but comes with features that include Piano Black trim, knurled chrome accents, “S” branded sill plates and a contrasting center stripe on the roof liner. It also comes equipped with a retuned suspension that has stiffer spring and bushings and a beefier anti-roll bar.

Under the hood, power is generated by an upgraded twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that outputs 528 HP (389 kW) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque. It is well connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a rear-based all-wheel drive system. The coupe is able to achieve 0-60 mph (0-96 kmph) in 4.3 seconds (and 0-100 kmph in 4.5s). It comes with a top speed of 192 mph (309 kmph). Similarly, the convertible can accelerate from 0-60 (0-96 kmph) mph in 4.5 seconds and can hit a top speed of 191 mph (308 kmph).
