How big can the contrast between static and dynamic be? The Bentley Continental GT can be either Sven or wild

If we say that in the ultra-luxury field of the main performance of the car brand, we may first think of Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc., but if comfort is limited, then in our cognition, it may be Rolls-Royce, Bentley out. The reason for this, in addition to the development direction factors for brands, will also give us this subtle hint in terms of the family design language they carry.
In the case of bentley, its elegance seems innate, but underneath it is excellent performance. However, not all bentley models will not deviate from the comfort it emphasizes, so within this range, bentley's development will be more balanced, and most of the groups that love bentley have their own tastes.
In addition to being gentle and stable in design, Bentley's models also have gt-and-shoot GT strength. For example, the model version of Bentley Continental can be called GT model, of course, the positioning of Continental itself is also a sports car, although the styling design may be more inclined to coupe, but it is indeed a real GT sports car.
Continental has divided into two types of hardtop sports cars and soft-top roadsters among all model versions, but individuals prefer hardtop sports cars. Probably because the overall design of this model is so fluid, that the soft-roofed convertible will bring an abrupt visual effect after the roof is closed, and also destroy the smooth feeling of the C-pillar.
The most attractive moment of this model may be the moment when the light group of the model is lit, because the light group of this model is a circular design, but it is not a type that can be interpreted with cuteness. The round light group has four at the front of the car, one large and one small on the left and right sides, and after lighting up, it will bring a rigorous aura with the rich chrome mesh of the entire front face. Even after the light group is turned off, there will be refractive light on many diamond cut surfaces inside, and even fire will appear, and the degree of brilliance is self-evident.
The grille of the new Continental GT has been enlarged compared to the previous one, and from the side, the front wheels of the body have also moved forward by about 13 centimeters. If you look closely at the side of the body, you will find that its side body is very smooth, which is not because of the line, but the sheet metal parts on the side of the body are heated by a whole aluminum plate, and then stamped with overspeed molding technology.
The highlights of the rear of the car are not too many, but the tail is one. Although the model belongs to the GT version, the rear wing can be retracted, which belongs to the hidden tail and can be controlled by opening and closing through the buttons in the car. However, there is not much effect on restricting the airflow, but it is more ritualistic to close after stopping the vehicle.
The 2020 Continental GT is available in two versions, but both are 4.0T displacements, belonging to the V8 twin-turbo engine, which gives 549 hp and 770 Nm of torque. The difference between the two is a hard-top sports car and a soft-top roadster. The zero-hundred acceleration given by the model only takes 4.1 seconds.
In fact, the power output and control is its bursting side, especially in the initial stage of the vehicle, its roar will be very obvious, this sound is mixed with tempering sound and tire noise. The dynamic texture of the new Continental GT will break our traditional impression of Bentley comfort, because the new Continental GT not only has tire noise, but also has road feedback, and the handling texture is more sporty.
summary:
The static and dynamic of the European continent are two completely different feelings, and the european GT under the static will be more stable and rigorous. Including static riding into the car to experience more of a comfortable atmosphere, whether it is the warmth created by diamond-shaped leather, or the high-end effect created by the interior details, it will be more rigorous and delicate. However, under dynamic control, the model will show a completely different rebellion from static. The quiet space that was originally thought to disappear, replaced by clear road sense feedback and the intrusion of tire noise, including power response and engine roar, will also leave the previous Sven image behind, but this contrast is actually more personal.
