2015 BENTLEY Continental GTC 4.0L V8 8AT AWD (507 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The Bentley Continental Grand Tourer received a refresh in 2015, which covered more areas from the outside look to the engine power and fuel-efficiency.

In reality, the usual Bentley buyer doesn’t care about fuel consumption. The only problem would be the range, but for that, there is plenty of gas-station on the way. What a Bentley owner cares more was the look of the car. The 2015 Bentley should look different than the “old” 2012 Bentley, even if it was the same model.

On the front of the 2015 Continental GTC, there was a new bumper, new grille, and a smaller radiator shell. On the front fenders, there was a new side vent with a B-badge as decoration. In the rear, there was a more sculpted trunk lid, with a pronounced aerodynamic profile to the edge. The rear bumper was also redesigned and it was wider. A new diffuser was installed for the V8S and GT Speed to further differentiate the performance-focused members of the Continental lineup.

Inside, the visual upgrades were continued. There was a new straight-fluting pattern on the seats, while the Mulliner Driving Specification gained a tightened, “small-diamond” quilted pattern. Since the car was more sports-orientated, there a pair of larger paddles-shifters were installed.

For the engines, there was e new technology to deactivate the cylinders. Thus, the V8 would run on a 4-cylinder and the W12 could run as a V-4 engine. But the driver will not know. Bentley didn’t put any special light to announce that. Maybe because a Bentley driver is not concerned about the fuel-efficiency.
