You almost have to be a Bentley owner (or designer) to really notice the changes in the all new 2011 Continental GT.
According to Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen, Chairman and Chief Executive:
“The new Continental GT is an automotive work of art, with superb craftsmanship and elegant, contemporary design. It drives like a supercar, but without the usual sacrifices in ride or practicality. It is a car that you can enjoy every moment of every day.”
BTW: Click HERE to watch as we compare the 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports to the 2010 Cadillac CTS-V.
But while the changes to both the exterior and interior are more evolotionary (instead of revolutionary) the new car’s beating soul gets a significant makeover.
The Bentley’s 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine gets more power…all the way up to 567 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.
Bentley says that should be enough power to catapult the new 2011 car from 0 to 60 in about 4.4 seconds all the way to a top speed of 198 mph.
Customers who don’t want all of the power (really, why wouldn’t they) will be able to opt for a 4.0-liter V8 in 2011. Bentley has yet to release the numbers but the V8 will almost certainly provide a lower $ total at the pump.
