宾利在日内瓦车展发布升级版欧陆GT。虽然新车仍采用人们熟悉的前脸,但新车配备了升级后造型更顺滑保险杠,更小散热器格栅和更突出轮拱,更宽的轮拱使得容纳新的散热孔和带有镀铬车标的V8 S和W12引擎成为可能。车尾也采用类似改变,包括全新造型行李箱盖和更宽的后保险杠。V8 S和GT Speed车型还采用了新的后散流器,此举使这两款车相对于家族其他车型更显特立独行。新车可提供20和21英寸轮圈并提供Marlin, Camel和Jetstream三种车身涂装。车辆内部轻度升级,包括改款方向盘,更大换挡拨片和新的圆形仪表群。所有车内照明全部换成LED,排挡杆周边采用黑色镀铬装饰。V8和V8 S车型还在后排座椅之间增加了储物格。欧陆GT V8 S, GT W12和Speed买家可选择多达17种车身颜色和Alcantara车顶内衬,内置WiFi也首次成为选装件。新车动力系统基本未变,但6.0升W12引擎功率从原来的567马力提升至582马力,扭矩从700牛米提升至720牛米,虽然动力提升,但由于采用可变排量系统,在某些情况下只有六个气缸工作,燃油经济性提升5%。宾利将于今年晚些时候开始接受新款欧陆GT订单。
Geneva LIVE: Bentley Continental GT
Bentley has announced a host of updates for its Continental GT range for the new model year. The revised Continental GT made its global introduction earlier today at the Geneva Motor Show.
Although the Conti's familiar face remains, the new model has been updated with a sleeker lower bumper, smaller radiator shell and more pronounced fender arches. Those wider fenders also accommodate new vents and bright chrome badges for V8 S and W12 models.
Changes at the rear are similar in scope and include a reshaped trunk lid and a wider rear bumper. V8 S and GT Speed models also gain a new rear diffuser to help them standout as the line's performance models.
New 20- and 21-inch wheel designs and three new paint options (Marlin, Camel and Jetstream) round out the Continental's exterior changes.
The interior of the Continental GT range has been subtly upgraded with "small diamond" quilting on top Mulliner Driving Specification cars, a revised steering wheel, larger paddle shifters and new dials and graphics on the instrument panel. All interior lights have been switched to LED and the chrome surround around the car's gear lever is now finished in black. V8 and V8 S models also gain a storage compartment between the rear seats.
Continental GT V8 S, GT W12 and Speed buyers can now choose from 17 color-matched Alcantara headlining options. Onboard WiFi has also been added to the Continental's options list for the new year.
Powertrains carryover largely unchanged, but the Continental GT's 6.0L W12 has been tweaked to deliver more power and better fuel economy. Horsepower now stands at 582 (up from 567) while torque has grown from 516 lb-ft to 531 lb-ft. Despite those power gains, the twin-turbocharged W12 is now 5 percent more efficient thanks to a variable displacement system that allows the engine to run on partial throttle on just six cylinders.
Bentley's new Continental GT range will be available for order later this year.
