How many children to the mile does it do?

I thought BMW had a monopoly on gopping grills, apparently not.

It's not just me then, I’m also seeing a lot of Jaguar XE and F-Type design cues!

I knew it wasn't, but F-Type came straight into my mind too.

Not sure I'd be brave enough to spec that colour, but I kinda like it.

Dare I say this is very colour sensitive?

Hope so

Not different enough to the Conti GT to warrant the price tag, IMHO.
Agree. Is it special enough to make it cost the price of 4 of these?

I like big wheels on a car but I think they’re starting to get a bit silly now.
22” wheels! Not much bodywork now it’s all wheel.

Still nice though and wouldn’t say no!

3rd gen Conti GT wheels are 22", summer tyres at least.

Fronts 275 and rears 315!

Looks uncomfortably similar to a Mustang.

I’m sure they have nailed their target market with this sort of thing and good luck to them.
Taking money off those who don’t know what to do with it next and giving it to people who’ll put it to better use.
Agreed, I am sure it will find buyers in its target market, but I'm not a fan.

The rear looks ok but the front end and wheels look very tacky.

Looks more like a concept car from Cadillac than a Bentley!

Looks quite nice if you ask me. I was going to say it's impossible to justify a £2M price tag for this, but I guess when there are a raft of cars that cost multiple millions now... why not for this.

I spend a lot longer than I should saving cars I'll likely never be able to afford and don't think I'd ever be willing to pay more than £300K for a car when you consider what that can buy, and the attention/interest a £300K+ car generates.

Great colour and the styling is well resolved.
Interior looks horrid in this spec. However I am sure Mulliner (Park Ward) can do whatever I like when I win the lottery.

I like it but the orange paint looks better on the ( pretty) new Astra. It needs to be dark green imho. The big grille look was revived by Audi, based on a 1930s racer, hence their ‘ double decker’ grilles. Oh, hang on, weren’t Rolls Royce radiator grilles based on a Greek temple, and Bentley large but cruder, with lots of chrome plated chicken wire? I agree with posters who noticed that it had a Jag flavour, too.
