The Continental GT is being designed and engineered by Bentley at Crewe and will be manufactured there in all-new facilities that combine state-of-the-art technologies with the unique hand finishing and attention to detail that has been the hallmark of all cars to wear the winged 'B'.
Bentley's design philosophy for the Continental GT can be quantified as follows: the car must have a short front overhang and an overtly dominant bonnet expressed by the unusually large distance between the front axle line and the A-pillar.
The design brief for the Continental GT was as simple to state as it was difficult to realise: create a car with as much room as the most spacious coupés on the market, equip it with the performance and responses of the world's most dynamic supercars and retain the whole within compact dimensions.
