Bentley Continental GT: What's new for 2008?

Here's an overview of the 2008 model year changes for the Bentley Continental GT.

The GT gets a raft of technical and cosmetic updates for 2008, along with the addition of a new Speed version (covered separately). The standard GTs start off with a 77-pound weight loss, largely through changes to the suspension and cooling system. Bentley's also tweaked the car's power steering for better feedback, and has updated its traction control to include a "sport traction" mode.

Added to the standard-features list for 2008 are Sirius satellite radio; a new Breitling clock; improved Bluetooth connectivity; and a brake pedal embossed with the "B" from Bentley tradition. New options include a rearview camera, three-spoke sport steering wheel, carbon-ceramic brakes, and new colors.
