New Bentley Continental GT - The Design

Bentley Motors is releasing a film illustrating the inspirations behind the design of the all-new Continental GT. Bentley’s Director of Design, Stefan Sielaff, explains the traceable bloodline that has influenced the new Continental GT as he sketches in the Bentley Design studio. Sielaff then introduces the journey that he and his award-winning design team in Crewe, England, have taken to create Bentley’s latest model. The Spartan Executive aircraft has a truly timeless design, using flowing curvature framed by sharp, powerful lines. Bentley employed the same philosophy in the all-new Continental GT, using Superforming technology – a precision technique working with aluminium heated to 500°C – which allows designers to invoke more complex, sharply defined body lines and a deeper, sculpted haunch muscle. The Continental GT is the first production car ever to have an entire body side made from the Superforming process.
