For the past 15 years, the Continental GT and its numerous variants have comprised the heart of Bentley's lineup. Even though the long-serving Continental got a much-needed second generation in 2011, it was more of a refresh of the original that debuted in 2003.

The new Continental will make its official world debut at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
