Bentley Continental GT 2015 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The Bentley Continental GT received a facelift for the 2012 model. There are two 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 models in the lineup with different power ratings, and a W12 6.0-litre. It now comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission which gives better fuel economy numbers and ever so slight increase in acceleration figures. The Bentley does not skimp on luxury, with a handcrafted wood and leather interior, complete with all the requisite gadgets such as navigation and a killer stereo. Instrumentation is provided by classic dials that live in deep recesses ahead of the steering wheel, while a small screen directly in the driver's line of sight monitors all relevant in-car systems. The two-door Continental coupe is equipped with the full suite of passive safety equipment, including two front airbags, four side airbags and two side curtain bags. And the GT Speed coupe, with the same W12 engine adds more power, reduced weight and an aluminium cabin trim package, while improving performance and handling. In 2015, a limited edition Continental GT3-R was released. Inspired by the Bentley GT3 race car, the GT3-R is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8, and it is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. However, it is almost 100 kg lighter than the standard V8 version, helping it achieve faster acceleration times. The GT3-R only comes in white with some green graphics around it. It gets an aerodynamic kit, gloss black accents and 21-inch lightweight black alloy wheels. Inside the GT3-R, it gets leather and Alcantara front seats, carbon-fibre trim and there is no rear seat, due to weight saving.
