Although the times are changing, the classic design language still needs to be inherited, and this is not static. The change in inheritance is reflected in many details. This reminds me of Guo Degang 's explanation of traditional crosstalk: You can innovate, but the things you have accumulated over the years cannot be abandoned. You must respond to the changes of the times on this basis! The Bentley Continental GT is a perfect combination of elegance and strength. In the eyes of those who don’t understand it, it is full of complexity and contradictions, and even difficult to control; but those who understand it can appreciate its elegant side.The new Bentley Continental GT can express its unique character by "the heart has a tiger, and the rose is sniffed carefully". Although the Continental GT is an coupe , it gives it the name "GT" after all; so it is different from the traditional two-door sports car or coupe. Its difference is not just the exaggerated sloping back shape, but from the performance matching to the chassis adjustment, it fits the true positioning: a super luxury sports travel car, in addition to efficient transmission and powerful performance, it takes into account comfort and luxury configuration, and can provide you with the freedom to drive long distances, and interprets your life legend with the classic traveling time and space.
