Bentley Manila at the all-new Continental GT debut in Singapore
BENTLEY Motors Asia Pacific recently introduced the third generation of the peerless Continental GT at the Fullerton Hotel in Singapore. Benedicto Coyiuto, Bentley Manila director, together with Philippine Bentley owners and members of the media, were able to get up close and personal with the latest iteration of this all-new Continental GT.
“We are glad to be able to take part in the debut of the newest Continental GT by Bentley. We look forward to having the new model in Manila. The combination of the latest technology performance and exquisite craftsmanship offers an unparalleled ownership experience,” states Coyiuto. David Jackson, regional manager Asia Pacific of Bentley Motors, said, “As the first region to launch immediately after the world premiere at Frankfurt Motor Show, we are thrilled to present the all-new Continental GT to our clients from at the Asia Pacific region.”
The new Continental GT showcases major evolutions in Bentley’s unique application of technology. An advanced, fully digital, driver focused instrument panel and Bentley Rotating Display for the driver are among the suits of innovations. The latter features an impressive 12.3inch touchscreen housed in a three-sided unit, which revolves the veneer to reveal the touchscreen as well as three elegant analog dials.
At the heart of the new Continental GT sits all-new, enhanced version of Bentley’s renowned 6.0-litre, twinturbocharged W12 TSI engine, mated, for the first time to a dual-clutch eight-speed transmission for faster, more efficient gear changes.
A new technically advanced adaptive chassis uses Bentley’s intelligent 48volt Dynamic Ride System to ensure a responsive ride and exceptional handling and refinement in all road conditions. The new system controls ride comfort and lateral roll, cushioning passengers from excessive movement as well as making the car feel effortlessly precise.
The muscular exterior design, created using revolutionary technologically, results in a lightweight, yet stiff body. The engine is positioned further back to improve weight distribution, resulting in driver-focused, dynamic performance. Offering four seats and improved luggage capacity for genuine realworld usability, the new Bentley Continental GT’s luxurious cabin is packed with exquisite details such as a new ‘diamond in diamond’ leather design. In addition, significant work has gone into harmonizing the extensive portfolio of 15 colors across hides and carpets.
The interior design of the Continental GT is tailored specifically to the modern luxury customer, with unrivalled attention to detail that creates an effortless ownership experience. The cabin seamlessly integrates cutting-edge onboard technology with the finest handcrafted natural materials. For more information, contact Bentley Manila at 09178370527.
