I agree. This is a good time for Bentley to make the CGT more athletic and step it up a bit. Astron Martin are on a the back foot and the title "King of Grand Tourers" is the for the taking.

It looks wide!

They're going more into the 911 segment with this correct? Looks like the car is smaller and offers less interior space.
That sports car 2(+2) segment is getting crowded ($150-$200k) 911, AMG GT, next BMW 6 series, vantage and DB11, 570, f type, R8, 488, continental GT.

What real 4 seater GT cars will we have then? Next BMW 8 series, Maserati GranTurismo, S coupe and cabrio and that's it?

That looks so stupid.

But after what they´ve done to the Mulsane I guess everything is possible.

This PS looks Mustang based. The lower front bumper design of the 2016+ GT will carry over to the new car in the same manner as the 2011 rework, which had a bumper design similar to 2008 GT Speed.

The new GT will shrink in size to around 4.7mm - roughly the same dimensions as the DB11.

Shortened Q7 platform? I didn't expect that to happen.

Yeah, I'm still trying to get my around how they'd manage to do that really...Anyway, apart from the already better looks, really hope this one offers a better suspension than the Conti GT as well

Mein Gott!!! They have Bentayga'd it.

I thought they were going with the RWD-based MSB platform. It's like they (either the journalists or decision-makers at VAG) keep changing their minds every 6 months.

Autobild must be wrong. The new Continental range will use the same MSB platform that tne new Panamera and is a different platform from the Q7, that is the MLB Evo.

I predict that this will be an extremely successful automobile for the Bentley marque.

In fact, the upcoming Continental GT/GTC (and Flying Spur successor) may command unit sales figures that come within close proximity of upper-echelon Mercedes-Benz and BMW wares. Despite the price premium.
