Exterior
For people who believe in minimalism, this all-new Bentley Continental GT Equinox Edition is a perfect match for them. The exact idea behind introducing this special edition tourer is to depict potential and elegance using simplicity. For starters, it is available with single tone colour shades and precisely, they are Onyx Black and Glacier White. Also, the subtle use of silver, white and black accents all across has enhanced the overall look to a great extent.
Interestingly, the British brand has introduced bespoke parts for the Equinox Edition. To be precise, the list includes a rear diffuser, side sills, subtle lip spoiler and front splitter finished in gloss black carbon fibre. Also, a new set of 22-inch alloy wheels sourced by Mulliner is there for an upmarket look.
Interior
There is no doubt that the carmaker has introduced a minimalistic approach inside the cabin as well. As a result, even the sportier seat of the Bentley Continental GT Equinox Edition comes finished in a single colour. Surprisingly, the silver finishing on the headrest and edge panels is still there to complement the monotone shade similar to what we have witnessed on the outside.
Bentley Mulliner is known for its coachbuilding. And this time, the brand has introduced the Piano Moonbeam veneer on the dashboard instead of the Grand Black. Also, a ‘Mulliner’ logo on the co-passenger side confirms that the entire designing part is carried out by them only.
In terms of features, even the Equinox Edition is no less loaded than any regular Continental GT. To begin with, it is still available with ambient lighting, multi-function steering wheel, touchscreen infotainment system and illuminated sill plates among others.
Engine
Under the hood, the 2021 Bentley Continental GT Equinox Edition is available with a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Talking in numbers, this motor is truly capable of producing a massive 542BHP of power and 770Nm of torque. Performance-wise, even the special edition comes with a top speed of 318kmph. Surprisingly, it can do a 0-100kmph sprint in just 4.0 seconds.
Customers will be happy to know that even the Continental GT Equinox Edition is available with cylinder deactivation technology. So basically, four cylinders can be deactivated under suitable conditions while making it fuel-efficient.
