最近有人拍到了2018款宾利欧陆GT测试照片。虽然车身采用了车身同色伪装，但仍无法掩盖其顺滑，颀长的车身，该车内部采用2+2座椅布局。这款车采用的全部LED前大灯源自概念版车型。尾灯组贴上胶带以掩盖其设计，但预计将采用EXP 10概念车的椭圆形细窄尾灯组。该车采用MSB平台，因此与2017款Panamera有更多共同之处。预计新车重量将有大幅降低，而现行版搭载W12引擎的车型重量为2320公斤。该车搭载一台6.0升W12双涡轮增压引擎，在宾利添越上，该引擎功率为447千瓦/600马力，扭矩900牛米。但在新款欧陆GT上会有不同的输出功率。当该引擎在去年发布时，大众集团表示，600马力仅仅是一个标志，未来还将增加功率更强版本。预计宾利将在明年下半年发布全新欧陆GT。

 

2018 Bentley Continental GT spied looking lean and mean

The 2018 Bentley Continental GT was caught out in the open once again performing testing rounds and hiding a substantially sleeker body.

 

The clever body-colored extensive camouflage can’t hide the lean and mean shape of Bentley’s new 2+2 grand tourer.As a matter of fact, the full LED headlights are clearly derived from the concept. There are some stickers on the taillights hiding the design, but we expect to find an adaptation of the EXP 10’s oval-shaped slim clusters.

 

Riding on the MSB platform, the new Bentley Continental GT will have a lot in common with Porsche’s upcoming 2017 Panamera. We should expect a considerable weight loss as a result of the new architecture and this is exactly what the doctor ordered as a current-gen W12 model tips the scales at a hefty 5,115 pounds (2,320 kilograms).

 

This is the same prototype that was spotted earlier this year when we checked its license plate and found out under the hood it had a biturbo W12 6.0-liter. We assume it’s the new version that powers the Bentley Bentayga SUV where it delivers 600 horsepower (447 kilowatts) and 664 pound-feet (900 newton meters) of torque, but in the new Continental GT it could have a different output. When the new variant of the W12 was officially unveiled last year, the Volkswagen Group said the 600-hp version was just a sign of things to come, with more powerful iterations on the agenda.

 

Expect to see the all-new Bentley Continental GT brake cover likely in the second half of 2017.
