Facelifted Bentley Continental GT will use the new Audi W12 engine

According to our British sources, we found out today that the facelifted version of the Bentley Continental GT will make its official debut in September at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. This will be the second and final facelift ahead of the new generation.

The second facelift for the British luxury coupe will consist of a completely new front design, new air vents as well as new headlights featuring daytime running LEDs. What is really interesting is that the new car is going to receive the new W12 engine found on the recently introduced 2011 Audi A8 W12 Quattro.

How many facelifts or variants Continental GT will get. First came the normal GT, than GT Speed and than most recently Supersports with abnormal looking front bumper. There is also Bentley GT Mulliner package available for all variants.
I think it is time for an all new model.

Let's just hope the all new model doesn't inherit the mulsanne's headlights. :|

In the USA were people put 22 inch Chrome Wheels on it and Tart it up it is Classless.

In the Rest Of The World were we leave it as it came from the Factory it is a Very Luxurious & Fast Vehicle.

Exactly what Bentleys are supposed to be.

Why is it Odd ??

Up until Now the Bentleys have been using the Phaeton W12 with 2 Turbos Bolted on to it.

So nothing new with using the Audi W12
