The latest luxury car to be launched in India is the new Continental GT 4-seat Coupe from the Bentley stable. Built on the earlier GT platform, the latest Coupe is faster than its predecessor with 567bhp and 71.3kgm of torque.
A new six-speed quickshift transmission reduces gear change times by 50 percent. The Coupe can clock 100kph from standstill position in 4.6 seconds reaching a top speed of 197mph.
Bentley Regional Director, India Chris Buxton told media persons at New Delhi that India was aggressively growing in the luxury automobile space. ‘We understand the growing needs of the market and hence we bring the new Bentley Continental GT to India.’
In addition to the W12 engine, the GT Coupe would run on biothenol, petrol or any combination of the two.
The all wheel drive system in the Continental GT Coupe can instantaneously adjust the power split between the front and rear wheels depending on the available grip. The upgraded electronic stability control system operates along with the all wheel drive system to ensure a quality drive.
The new Coupe sports an entirely new hand-crafted interior and is priced at Rs 1.9 crore (ex-showroom).
