... with its first showing in Australasia of the new Continental GT.
Celebrating its eighth year of production, the GT has been restyled with bolder haunches, a flatter stance and more kick from its W12 engine.
Bentley Australia spokesman Ian Churchill says this is the first time the coupe has been shown in the Asia-Pacific region.
He says the GT has been given a stronger look thanks to a fresh design and new manufacturing techniques that allow sharper lines. The car’s matrix grille is restyled to be more imposing, the headlights have a jewelled effect and the tail lights are now wraparound LED units.
From the back – where most traffic will be – you’ll find a new double horseshoe motif borrowed from Bentley’s flagship Mulsanne and flared elliptical exhaust pipes.
A touchscreen and blood-orange dash illumination have been added to the leather and timber veneer cabin, while power rises to 423kW/700Nm and drives through a six-speed sequential automatic and an
all-wheel-drive system.
Bentley’s stand will also have the Continental Flying Spur – the most powerful saloon it has ever made with 412kW/650Nm – and the brand’s flagship Mulsanne.
The Mulsanne, costing $657,000, retains Bentley’s awesome 377kW/1020Nm 6.75-litre V8, but thanks to engine adjustments and the addition of an eight-speed automatic transmission claims a 15 per cent drop in fuel consumption.
