The GT's already formidable 6.0-liter W-12 gets bumped from 567 to 582 horsepower and from 516 to 531 pound-feet, and while cruising, the engine will be capable of running on six cylinders.

Since its introduction in 2003, the the Continental GT's exterior lines have become progressively more defined, and the latest iteration continues that evolution. The most apparent changes are the revised front fenders—which now feature vents in the shape of the company's famous flying "B"—and wider rear bumper, but the stylists at Crewe have also massaged the famous horseshoe of the trunk lid, giving the trailing edge a "pronounced aerodynamic profile."
