The brand new Bentley Continental GT has been unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2017<\/a>. The British GT car has been thoroughly revised for the 2018 model year. It now shares its MLB platform with the Porsche Panamera, ditching the Volkswagen Phaeton platform it used since 2003. We took a closer look at the car on display at Frankfurt this year!<\/p>\n

The design changes are fairly radical. With the wheels positioned further forward, Bentley have been able to lower the bodywork and create a longer front bonnet. The overhangs are shorter as a result and give better weight distribution. The new Continental GT weighs 2,250 kg with a 53:47 weight distribution.<\/p>\n\r\n
