In essence, the new Bentley Continental GT and its open-top version are the result of a major redesign of its predecessors. Visually, the models retained the same body proportions. The changes are especially noticeable in the front part: the developers decided to retire the “four-eyed” head optics, they were replaced by laconic oval headlights with LED inserts that act as running lights and turn signals.
In addition, the new Continental GT and GTC have a narrower radiator grille, and the lower part of the front bumper is designed differently with three air intakes. The rear lights have changed less noticeably: their shape has become more horizontally elongated and has sharpened edges on both sides. The lower part of the rear bumper is designed even differently with modified exhaust pipes. The models were equipped with 22-inch wheels.
