SPY PICS: Bentley tests hot Continental GT
Undisguised but adorned, the white Bentley Continental GT V8 coupe that has become a regular Nurburgring visitor could be an upcoming RS variantBentley has been mystifying the auto fraternity with an aggressive white GT coupe spotted testing on Germany's Nurburgring for some time.
Latest rumours are that the fat-wheeled, undisguised coupe could be an up-powered version of the Continental GT V8 S coupe – to be dubbed RS.
With extra herbs squeezed out of the Volkswagen-group 4.0-litre twin turbo engine, power could be up to around 410kW, allowing the RS to carve up an even lower 0-100km/h time than 4.5 seconds.
The undisguised coupe shows not just a set of oversize alloy wheels, but also a fixed rear spoiler and an aerodynamic, ground-scraping front apron.
There is as yet no clear indication of when and where the new Bentley coupe will make its first appearance, but this year's Paris motor show in October has been suggested as a likely possibility.
A Continental GT RS would still sit somewhere beneath the GT Speed coupe and GTC cabriolet versions first shown at the Geneva motor show in March this year and now on sale in Australia for $450,000 and $495,000 respectively.
