Bentley Continental GT Spied Looking Ready to Make Its Debut
The next Bentley Continental GT has been spied after ditching its heavy camouflage.
The luxury grand tourer is set to make its debut before the end of the year and now we are basically able to see all the details on the car except for the real headlights and tail lights. A stylish camouflage wrap is still being used to cover up most of the car, but it’s not hiding the body lines and curves.
As expected, the styling of the Bentley Continental GT won’t drastically change for its next iteration, but it will be riding on a new platform that first debuted on the Porsche Panamera.

The new platform will enable the British automaker to use existing powertrains from Porsche, which means the Panamera’s 4.0-liter twin-550 horsepower twin-turbo V8 is likely heading to the Continental GT. It also means Bentley can use Porsche’s electrified powertrains, so a plug-in hybrid will likely join the lineup at some point.
