2012 Bentley Continental GT
Expect to see more details when the 2012 Bentley Continental GT makes its public debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show this fall. Inside, the Continental GT will get an upgraded driver interface with modern conveniences like real time traffic and iPod integration. This should result in improved performance and efficiency even though Bentley probably won't get much more power out of the 6.0-liter W12 engine. Under the skin, the Continental GT is expected to adopt some elements of the Audi A8's aluminum spaceframe in a bid to reduce weight.
This set of wheels also appears to be a new design. Along the side, you'll notice that the rear edge of the door has a pronounced point while the side mirrors get new integrated signals. Up front, it looks as though the new GT will get a refreshed front fascia that includes a new air dam design, lower cutlines in the bodywork and new Gatling gun headlights similar to those on the new Mulsanne sedan. Details after the jump.
Instead, subtle changes that only a true Bentley enthusiast will notice are evident. Given the Continental unique shape, Bentley's designers didn't bother trying to reinvent the GT all over again. According to sources at the company, a revised Continental GT should arrive next summer. It may not look like much, but this prototype of the 2012 Bentley Continental GT is actually a significantly upgraded vehicle.
