Bentley Continental GT: now even more stylish

If you're in the market for the latest Bentley Continental GT, the new Mulliner Styling Specifaction's Classic Pack may tempt you - and your bank balance.

It's a super-sharp, crisp design on the outside with such features as a new front bumper splitter, intergrated strakes with the front intake grilles, side extension blades and a rear diffuser, all in sexy high-gloss, black carbon fibre. The rear diffuser adds slick definition to the GT's trademark twin, flared, elliptical tailpipes.

Then there are the options - a black carbon-fibre rear spoiler, wing mirror cowls, black painted 21-inch alloys and dark mesh front wing vents with black carbon-fibre bezels. The allows feature seven spokes and the style has the appropriate name, 'Elegant'. 

As ever, the Bentley 'B' plays a role in the design with a discreet winged B-for-Bentley on the side extension blades.

The sexy package has been designed by Raul Pires, Bentley's head of exterior design and he is proud of his handiwork: “The Mulliner Styling Specification, with its sharper lines and darker, lower appearance subtly underscores the extrovert, flamboyant nature of our new Coupe. It delivers a more personalised, sportive interpretation of a luxurious, refined GT.”

In keeping with Bentley's commitment to quality, the new exterior components have been rigorously tested by the good people at the Crewe factory in north-west England. High-performance V-Max tests and wind tunnel appraisals were undertaken to make sure the new styling additions are as tough as the rest of the car.

If you're keen, the Classic Package will only be fitted by factory-trained technicians at authorised Bentley dealers. The order books are now open and the optional design features can be ordered from authorised Bentley dealers from Autumn 2011.
