| Bentley Continental GTV8 |
Bentley has launched a V8 version of their famous Continental GT sports car. The GT V8 can be distinguished from the W12 version siblings by its black gloss matrix grille with chrome frame and centre bar. It also has a red enamel Bentley ‘B’ badge. At the top of the grill sits the ‘Bentley wings’.

At the rear, Bentley famous ‘floating’ LED lamps extend around the corners of the wings, emphasizing the new coupe’s larger width and persistent posture. The boot lid design helps improve airflow at the back. The ‘figure eight’ tailpipes, dark lower valance and red enamel ‘B’ boot lid help emphasize the car’s sportive character. The car can cut through air efficiently and smoothly as the body is also more aerodynamic. This is thanks to numerous changes in the underbody of the car, the wheel arch design and the new rear design.
