New Bentley Continental GT with Improved Fuel Efficiency

New Bentley Continental GT with Improved Fuel Efficiency

Bentley will unveil the new Continental GT and GTC at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. Offering 500 hp and 481 lb-ft of torque, the vehicle is less impressive than the 631-hp Continental GT performance-wise, but it is much more impressive in terms of gas mileage and emissions. The exact numbers were not revealed yet, but we do know that a single fuel tank will keep the new Bentley rolling for over 500 miles, and that the 0-60 mph sprint will be completed in less than 5 seconds.

Special exterior features include the black with chrome accents grille, a reworked lower grille, red Bentley “B” badges, and 20-inch wheels. Body colors include very interesting hues like Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus. Check out the photos below and work your patience until the car’s official unveiling next year.
