After seven years in its current form the Bentley Continental GT has received a facelift. It's not as blink-and-you'll-miss-it as first thought, but you still have to look quite hard to see what's changed.
The car as a whole is more muscular - it's got a more focused look now. The headlights have been adjusted to put its looks more in line with the new bug-eyed Mulsanne (though thankfully Bentley hasn't made it too similar), while the radiator is more upright, too, adding to the more aggressive stance.
Given the exterior's sporty overhaul, what about the interior? The dash has been reworked into a more sweeping affair and been given a swish new touchscreen infotainment system. There's 46mm more rear legroom thanks to thinner front seats - children older than three can fit in there now.
Power-wise the Conti GT's W12 has been given some extra shove; it now pushes out 567bhp and 516lb ft of torque. That means 62mph arrives in 4.6secs and hit 198mph, just missing the magic 200.
