  • Bentley Shows New Continental GT at Frankfurt

The car will offer “a paradigm shift in driving performance” over its predecessor, according to engineering boss Rolf Frech. He added that it will “set a benchmark for all GTs” and that “this [car] redefines luxury driving again.”

It comes fitted with an all-new chassis, suspension, W12 engine and dual-clutch eight-speed gearbox. The third-gen Continental has been inspired by the EXP 10 Speed 6 concept car shown at the Geneva motor show in 2015. Frech said that the car’s overall design direction is “clearly Bentley and Continental.” It is longer now - the front wheels have been moved forward by 135mm.

The rear design looks more refined while the front looks quite muscular. The Continental’s body is built using a lot of aluminium – it uses the Porsche-developed MSB (modular standard drivetrain) platform that underpins the new Panamera as well. Bentley has stated that the car, however, is “82 percent unique”, despite the collaboration with Porsche.
