Detroit - Bentley is unveiling two new Bentley Continental V8 models at the Detroit Motor Show next month.
The cars feature improved engine management system with increased performance and lower fuel consumption.
The new Continental GT are distinguished by a black gloss matrix grille with chrome frame and centre bar, a red enamel Bentley 'B' badge, and a black matrix three-segment lower front bumper.
Both models are specified with 20-inch alloy wheels as standard, with an optional 21-inch six-spoke design which is available in dramatic Diamond Black (exclusive to the Continental V8) or Diamond Silver finishes.
Inside the cabin, an Eliade cloth headlining, new contemporary Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus veneers, optional two-tone leather colour split and short centre console continue the sporting design theme.
The new V8 power unit has an output of 373 kW/507 horsepower combined with an 8-speed automatic transmission that provides acceleration from zero to 100 kilometres per hour (km/h) in less than five seconds and a top speed of over 290 km/h, according to the car maker.
