  • Bentley Continental GT Mulliner

    Bentley Continental GT is now more exclusive with the new Mulliner Styling Specification including a range of nice options boosting the road presence of the luxurious coupe.

    The new Mulliner Styling Specification’s Classic Pack includes a unique front bumper splitter, strakes integrated into the front intake grilles, side extension blades and a rear diffuser, all made from high-gloss, black carbon-fibre.

    “The Mulliner Styling Specification, with its sharper lines and darker, lower appearance subtly underscores the extrovert, flamboyant nature of our new Coupe. It delivers a more personalised, sportive interpretation of a luxurious, refined GT.”, commented Raul Pires, Bentley’s head of exterior design.

    A series of high performance V-Max tests and wind tunnel appraisals were undertaken to ensure that the handling and performance credentials of the new Continental GT are not compromised by the addition of the Mulliner Styling Specification

    The Classic Pack is available to order from June 2011 onwards and the optional design features can be ordered from authorised Bentley dealers from Autumn 2011.

    “To ensure complete peace of mind for our customers, the Mulliner Styling Specification is underpinned by the Company’s exhaustive aerodynamic and durability testing programme and is backed by a full Bentley warranty.”, finished Steve O’Hara, Aftersales Director.
