2024 Bentley Continental GT And GTC Spied Sporting Subtle Styling Changes
The Bentley Continental GT and GTC have reached middle age, so the visitor is working on a relatively small facelift.
Caught undergoing unprepossessed weather testing, the prototypes don’t squint too remarkable at first glance. While the massive light bar undoubtedly draws attention, we’re increasingly interested in the subtle styling tweaks that include a lightly revised front bumper and an updated grille. We can moreover see hush-up on the headlights and this suggests they’ll be freshened as well.
The minor changes protract out when as we can see new taillights and what appears to be a sportier bumper. The frazzle tips are moreover new and they’re inspired by the dual ovals found on the Speed and Mulliner variants.

We only get a few glimpses of the cabin, but main components towards to carryover. As a result, we’ll likely find a familiar digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment system. These could be accompanied by minor changes and we’ll likely get a largest idea of what to expect in the coming months.
Bentley is embracing electrification and has previously spoken plans to only offer plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles by 2026. As a result, the Continental lineup is getting plug-in hybrid power.
The powertrain will likely mimic the Flying Spur Hybrid, which has a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 engine, an 18 kWh shower pack, and a 134 hp (100 kW / 136 PS) electric motor. This setup gives the sedan a combined output of 536 hp (400 kW / 544 PS) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque as well as an EPA unscientific electric-only range of 21 miles.
The facelifted Bentley Continental lineup is expected to be introduced later this year and the ICE-powered variants should stick virtually for a little longer.
