The changes over the standard Continental GT include the new front bumper that boasts larger openings, the 21-inch alloy wheels with a different design wrapped around chunkier 275/35 ZR21 Pirelli P-Zero rubber, and the bespoke tail pipes.

2012 Bentley Continental GTC Speed Scooped in the Alps


Back in May, we saw Bentley trying out the drop-top version of its subtly evolved 2011 Continental GT, the GTC, at the Nurburgring racetrack. Now, our spies have spotted Bentley’s people working on the more athletic GTC Speed in the Alps.

Like the standard Continental GTC, the Speed shares the sharper styling cues of the coupe model launched last year adding a more aggressively designed front bumper with new openings, hood air vents and a discreet boot lid spoiler along with larger alloy wheels to the mix.

The GTC Speed will benefit from the revisions we saw on the coupe and which include a redesigned dashboard with an updated instrument panel and a new touch-screen interface plus new seats and trim materials.

SCOOP: 2012 Bentley Continental GTC Convertible Facelift Spotted Testing at the Nurburgring


We knew that Bentley was working on a revised version of its Continental GTC drop-top model after the introduction of the facelifted Continental GT coupe, and these fresh-from-the-Nurburgring spy shots are here to prove it.

Following the example of its coupe sibling that was unveiled in facelifted form at last year’s Paris Motor Show, the 2012 Conti convertible receives a styling makeover. The changes include newly shaped body panels all around and a more prominent front end with Mulsanne-inspired quad headlamps featuring inner lamps powered by xenon on low beam and LED on high beam.

We've been showing you spy pictures and videos of the upcoming 2011 Continental GT for quite some time now, but today Bentley launched a new microsite featuring a teaser film for the redesigned coupe that will have its online debut on September 7 and its public premiere at the Paris Motor Show at the end of the same month.

As well as confirming the Mulsanne-ish nose job with large LED inner headlamps flanked by smaller ancillary lights on each corner, the video also provides a brief glimpse of the interior and the revised center console featuring a new navigation and infotainment system. Expect similar changes for both the GTC convertible and four-door sedan members of the Continental family in the very near future. Watch the teaser video after the jump.

Spy Video: 2011 Bentley Continental GT Coupe Facelift


Seven years into production of its Continental GT, and Bentley is now brewing up a... late, late-life facelift for the coupe model keep to suitors interested. As usual, the British (feel free to swap with German) firm's engineers made sure we couldn't see most of the styling updates by covering the car from top to bottom in checkered masking tape.

What we could make out from this video is the new Mulsanne-inspired snout with two large headlamps close to the grille offset by two smaller units on both corners and restyled air vents. In addition, it looks like the car will get revised tail lamps and a reworked apron at the back. Updates to the interior as well as to the W12 engine should also be expected.

2011 Bentley Continental GT Coupe Fuzzily Spied


These here are spy shots of the redesigned 2011 Bentley Continental GT coupe. The pictures are a tad grainy and admittedly not of the best quality, but they do give us a glimpse of the cosmetic changes Bentley is readying for its luxurious coupe model.

From what we can tell, the front-end of the refreshed Continental GT takes some styling cues from the new Mulsanne such as the big round inner headlights flanked by off-set smaller ones.
