Just days before the new Bentley Continental GT is to be officially released these spy shots have appeared with lighter camouflage than usual. Undergoing final testing, the Continental GT will be revealed in press coverage on September 7 and will then appear in all its glamour at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.

The Continental GT will keep the Bentley philosophy of this model alive and will retain much of the style of the current generation, with just a few touch-ups designed to increase its appeal. New front headlights with LED technology feature in the same design as the Bentley Mulsanne, and an extractor gives a new sports look to the rear. The interior won’t be particularly radical either, with a few changes to the central console to bring it up to the modern technology expected in a luxury car of this kind.

Technically speaking, the old six-speed automatic will change to make way for the new ZF, eight-speed transmission and we’ll also get a power upgrade with the 6.0-litre W12 reaching 600 hp and 800 Nm of torque. That’s all the bread and butter bits, so now all we have to do is wait for the official pics.
