It might not have a fancy name, but Vilner Studio’s Bentley Continental GT tune sure has some road presence, as seen in these first photos of the completed car that had been teased through a few sketches back in April.
The Bulgarian tuning house says the owner of the first generation Continental GT approached the company eight months ago asking Vilner to individualize the luxury model’s exterior and interior, while also boosting its performance numbers.
For the outside, Vilner chose a flat grey paintjob adding a body kit with 50mm wider front and 80mm wider rear fenders, along with matching side skirts and bumpers on both ends. A carbon fiber grounds kit, a rear wing, new carbon fiber mirrors and headlamp inner surrounds, along with a quad exhaust system and black alloy wheels shod in wider tires, complete the dark look of the Bentley sports coupe.
Naturally, for a company that prides itself for the work it does inside all of its cars, Vilner re-decorated the entire cabin of the Continental GT from top to bottom with different materials and colors that match the car’s exterior redesign. You will find yards of Alcantara and leather in dark grey and black shades with contrasting red stich-work, along with what Vilner calls “feather” decorated wood trims.
The last part of the project was a performance upgrade, which lifts the 6.0 liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine’s output from 552hp (560PS) and 650Nm (479 lb-ft) to 650hp (660PS) and 780Nm (575 lb-ft), with Vilner stating that the coupe can now reach a top speed of 325km/h (202mph) instead of 318km/h (198mph).
