宾利新一代欧陆GT确实酷毙了！这是一辆真正的豪华GT车型，它的细节令人惊艳，采用了最新技术和诸如BangandOlufsen高级音响在内的很酷的配置。很快，敞篷版的GTC也将加入到欧陆家族中来。而最近谍照记者还拍到了另一款欧陆GT车型。这辆原型车很可能就是即将发布的欧陆GTSpeed，该车将比“标准版”GT功率更强，外观更突出运动风格，悬挂更硬。这辆车看起来与普通的欧陆GT没什么不同，但仔细看会发现该车搭载了动力更强劲引擎。该车的车身遍布镀铬装饰，包括散热器格栅，底部保险杠，侧窗边框，车门装饰，而前大灯及尾灯组都采用了熏黑灯罩。这是Speed车型的传统外装。另外，在前保险杠底部网格后面还隐藏着一个硕大中冷。这辆原型车的前后轴配备了不同的轮圈，这意味着新车悬挂和制动系统的改进。未来最终量产版还会有进一步调整，甚至可能配备更大固定尾翼。宾利最新的6.0升W12双涡轮引擎和轻混系统在欧陆GT上的功率为467千瓦/626马力，扭矩900牛米。预计在Speed版本上，功率可提升至492-500千瓦/660-670马力。由于近期宾利忙于发布欧陆GT，GTC敞篷车和下一代飞驰，预计欧陆GT Speed将于明年夏季发布。
Bentley Continental GT Speed Possibly Spied For The First Time
Bentley’s new Continental GT is absolutely stunning – a true luxury grand tourer with an amazing attention to details, modern technologies, and cool features like a Bang and Olufsen premium audio system. Soon, it should be joined by an open-top version, the Continental GTC which is already under development, and these new spy photos suggest another Continental GT offering is also in the cards.
This prototype is most likely the upcoming Continental GT Speed, which should pack more power than the “standard” Conti GT, sportier appearance, and stiffer suspension. This may look like a regular GT, but a couple of things tell us it’s actually hiding more power under its hood. For starters, all the chrome bits, including the radiator grille, the lower bumper inserts, the side windows strips, the side doors trims, and the headlights and taillights rings, are blackened, which is a traditional feature of all Speed models from the British manufacturer. Also, easily notable are the larger intercoolers hiding behind the front bumper’s mesh lower grilles.
Interestingly, Bentley is using different wheels on the front and rear axles for this prototype, which could mean further modifications to the suspension and brakes are planned. Additional design changes could also be implemented for the final production version, including a larger fixed rear wing. Bentley's latest biturbo 6.0-liter W12 uses a mild-hybrid system and produces 626 horsepower (467 kilowatts) and 664 pound-feet (900 Newton-meters) in the Continental GT. We expect to see this number going up for the Speed version and word on the street is we should be expecting power in the region of 660-670 hp (492-500 kW).
Given the automaker’s busy schedule with the recent launch of the Continental GT, the upcoming GTC convertible, and the next-generation Flying Spur, we don’t expect to see the Conti GT Speed before the summer of next year.
