The new Continental GT 4-seat coupe builds on the success of its iconic predecessor, capturing that GT spirit but with even higher standards of design, engineering, luxury, craftsmanship, dynamic performance, everyday practicality and refinement. A beautifully sculptured new body gives the GT coupe an even crisper, more defined appearance. The contemporary interior offers new levels of cabin design, comfort and hand-crafted luxury. The seats, for example, provide even greater support and rear leg-room; a sweeping dashboard even more style and modernity.
The front seats were also made lighter, in part by moving the seat-belt mechanism to the car’s B-pillar. This move has meant that, depending on your height and the seat position, you may find the shoulder belt slipping below your shoulder, not exactly the most comforting scenario. The only solution is to make the catch point on the B-pillar adjustable for height
With the twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 engine of the original model was powerful (406 kW; 649 Nm), the new version is even more so (423 kW; 700 Nm). This is by no stretch a gargantuan difference, but when paired with the car’s 65-kg weight savings, it slashes the run to 100 km/h by two tenths to an estimated 4.4 seconds and boosts top speed by three markers to 318 km/h.
