The rear looks great and owners could fit more cargo.
What if Bentley made a more utilitarian version Continental GT. Rain Prisk, a posh grand tourer, shows how it would look as a shooting brake.
The rendering shows the car from the rear, as the roof and rear ends are the only ones that have been changed. The shooting brake is slightly lower than the real-world Continental GT. It retains the arched roofline, but raises the rear. This allows for a hatchback to be fitted. Prisk also transforms the taillights into LED strips, replacing the traditional oval-shaped lamps found on the production vehicle.
Standard Continental GT has 12.6 cubic feet (358 Liters) of cargo room. The shooting brake will likely provide more luggage space, especially vertically.
Redesigning the rear roof and rear layout should not require powertrain modifications. The Continental GT is currently available with a -liter twin-turbo, 4.0-liter V8 producing 542 horsepower (404 Kilowatts), and 568 poundfeet (707 Newton-meters). A twin turbo 6.0-liter W12 has 626 horsepower (467 kW) e 664 lbft (900 Nm). Both options offer plenty of power for driving down the roads in the luxurious cabin.
Bentley is unlikely to build a Continental GT shooting brake, as it already has the coupe, convertible and the closely related Flying Spur sedan. The newly revealed Bacalar indicates that the company is open to trying different versions of the model. This roadster removes the rear seats, and places nacelles behind each of the front chairs. Bentley has only 12 examples in production, all with reserved customers. Each one costs PS1.5 million.
