Are they ever going to launch a new Bentley Conti GT?

[Ari]

I appreciate its had a few nip and tucks, but the Bentley Continental GT is effectively visually unchanged since its launch a decade ago!

10 years is a hell of a run for such a premium car isn't it? Still looks good, but well overdue a proper overhaul surely?

Evolutionary design hasn't done the 911 any harm... I guess Bentley are going by the principal of 'if it's not broke, why fix it?'

No one cares.

The 911 has changed though. The concept has remained the same, but the car has changed.
The Bentley is (bar a few tweaks) still identical.

I hadn't realised that. Thanks for speaking for the entire world.

I was just reading the latest Car magazine test of the V8 sport in speed yellow and getting a little loose in the wallet ,i reckon they've done just enough to keep it looking fresh and tempt previous owners to renew

Its a fair point, but looking at previous Benters, they don't seem to have a reputation for rushing their design changes.

Funnily enough it was that feature that made me think it.

Still a stunning looking car though. They did get it spot on, it's exactly what a Bentley Conti GT should be.

Not sure i'd call a bar of soap 'stunning', but i do think the facelift looks good.
