100 Years of Bentley
The All-New 2020 Continental GT and GT Convertible
Headlining the second century of the Bentley legacy is the all-new 2020 Continental GT Coupe and GT Convertible. In celebration of the Bentley Centennial, the 3rd generation luxury grand tourer and open-top grand tourer are available in highly customizable V8 and W12 powered variations that combine futuristic tech with classic hand-crafted British Luxury. Ornately retro, innovative design elements are calculated and polished to the finest detail, combined with a herculean performance in the ultimate display of opulence and grandeur.
Outfitted within the core of the central dashboard and Bentley's first all-digital cluster is one of the most dynamic driver displays to date and the first of its kind. The Bentley Rotating Display is aptly named, revolving between three stylish and seamlessly integrated settings to transform your dashboard within mere seconds. First is the 12.3" touchscreen with an intuitive, ergonomic user experience and a wealth of connectivity features. To further impress, this display boasts a split-screen mode for simultaneous driver and passenger participation.
Diamond. Grade-A Leather. Bespoke.
The details are in the diamonds: diamond pleated seats, a heated steering wheel option lined with diamond stitching, and diamond pattern knurling bordering the Bentley 'bullseye' air vents and turn dial controls. The ornate interior cabin is hand-crafted with hand-cut premium grade-A leather hide and truly bespoke with several customizable options to make your Bentley your own, as it should be. The heated comfort seats feature perforation detail across your back and a quilted diamond-pleat pattern along the shoulders and side-door casings with an intricate 712 stitches per diamond. Rest your head on supple leather emblazoned with the iconic Bentley wings emblem while enjoying five high-end massage functions, a newly designed neck warmer and heated armrest for lavish comfort and unparalleled driving experience.
A noteworthy and newly introduced feature to the automotive world is the Côtes de Genève detailing option on the center console. Côtes de Genève is an intricate milling technique that carves striped detailing across the surface of malleable aluminum. This ornate detailing technique was pioneered by Swiss watchmakers and applied across the dial of deluxe time-pieces. In this respect and countless others, the 2020 Bentley GT and GTC truly refine the luxury experience down to the granular detail.
Crystal-Cut Headlights, Celestial Views
While the Côtes de Genève adorned console dances with light, the LED cut-crystal headlights exude a galaxy of illumination. Inspired by the geometric lighting effect that occurs when light refracts through a crystal or diamond, these two sets of father and son headlights announce the arrival of an imposing grill and the artwork of an exterior that follows. Noticeably Bentley, the domineering 2020 Bentley GTC body structure is 20% lighter and 5% stiffer, with the unique Z-fold open-top boasting three decibels of ambient noise reduction and smoothly shifts from open to closed in a sly sixteen seconds.
Unparalleled Beauty Meets Beastly Performance
With a maximum of 542 to 626 horsepower, whether in Sport, Bentley or Comfort mode, the colossal surge of power that is gifted by both the V8 and W12 Turbo 6.0-liter engine during acceleration and throughout is sure to leave you grinning, while your hearts skips a beat, or three. Accompanied by most the powerful iron braking system on a Bentley to date and an intuitive 48-volt Active Anti-roll Suspension to keep you level and confident on curves, the 2020 Bentley GT and GTC offer the ultimate in luxury grand tourer performance driving.
