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.
