2011 Bentley Continental GT spied

By George Skentzos |

The Bentley Continental GT is set to receive a sleek redesign to keep the model fresh for the new year.

While at first glance it may seem identical to the current model, the revised Bentley Continental GT features a far more rakish and elegant design.

Most of the hard edges have been replaced with more sculpted body work, though still subtle enough to not spoil the classic Bentley design.

Our spy photographers went through quite an ordeal to snap this exclusive picture, after being confronted by Bentley security that snatched his camera and deleted all the photos – luckily missing just this one.

The new 2011 Bentley Continental GT is set to make its debut in Paris later this year.

    I reckon its much better looking than the current model. The new rakish design and the subtle kick in the rear quarter panel gives it just that little bit more edge. I hope it gets LED so that it can keep up with it parents.

    George, the headlamp washer is visible, it is silver and is inside the headlamp assembly, on the lower edge of the primary headlight. Looks like a semi-circle.

      So it is, nice pick up. Thanks.

    Ah, the Xenon washer is clearly visible at the bottom of the larger healight. It is the silver semi-circle, the washer pops out of the headlight itself, like a DB9 and many other high-end cars..

    Beaten to it by Devil666. :)

    The complex headlight arrangement actually makes this look like CGI editing.

      Took the words out of my mouth! I though on the home page it was a rendering of some covered up spy pics – Turns out they where real! Still is a stunner though…

    Very nice, would look slighly better though in a light gold colour. Can’t wait to see the sumptuous interior, Bently are one of the, if not the best, high class car interior designers.

    Very nice Bentley.But i would like every one to spare thought for the security guard who probably got fired forgetting to erase this one camera.

    Even if they deleted the photos, you can still recovery them, and I’m willing to help you do this Caradvice! Professional photographers know that if their memory card corrupts or some security folk delete their photos, they shouldn’t take any more photos with that card and then they can then recover them quite easily afterwards. In the meantime, they swap to a spare card to snap any other opportunities that arise.
