Specifically, in terms of appearance, the most eye-catching part of the front face of the new car is the new headlight group, which canceled the previous four circular structures and became oval headlights, with a bright black light source inside, and led to a unique horizontal bar daytime running lights, showing a stronger sense of recognition and sportiness, the center is still a flat and wide fishnet black grille, divided into two parts, the upper is the Bentley logo, the lower is the flat trapezoidal lower grille, the left and right side of the air intake is larger, with a stronger visual impact.
On the side of the body, the iconic lines of the Continental GT are generally maintained, and it is still one of the most handsome models on the market, and it does not need major modifications. Elements such as the simple and dynamic waistline, the obvious wide-body effect of the rear wheels, and the large wheels will not be absent, while the narrow windows and rear-view doors, and the special decorative strips on the side skirts enhance the sense of style and sportiness. At the rear of the car, the taillights are the focus of the modification, adopting a unique flat shape, the shuttle-like design is more sharp, corresponding to the style of the front of the car, the tail box line is still concave, leading to the upturned ducktail, and the rear bumper part has a flat bilateral double exhaust that is almost symmetrical with the taillight shape, and the body-colored diffuser adds a refined and sporty feeling.
