Make no mistake, this is a real Bentley Continental
GT that’s been upgraded with off-road goodies, resulting in a car we usually
see only in wacky renderings. Apparently, someone with deep enough pockets
swallowed a brave pill and decided to create the ultimate luxury off-roader,
using an original Conti GT as the basis.
The car you see in the pictures is offered for sale
in Netherlands by Classic Youngtimers. It’s a 2004 Bentley Continental GT with
85,166 km that has been converted to “Off Road” specification
by the same dealership.
The conversion includes a fairly obvious lift by 3
inches, a modified air suspension and front stabilizer, including moving
various components elsewhere to make more room in the wheel wells, custom
fender flares and roof rack, LED roof lights, custom spare-wheel mount on the
roof and more. In addition, the car also features a custom rear skid plate, a
modified exhaust for more decibels and horses and a matte black front grille.
Power comes from the factory-standard twin-turbo
6.0-liter W12 that produces 552 hp and 650 Nm of peak torque. The
permanent four-wheel drive system remains the same so that means that in theory
you’ll get to enjoy all the effortless performance of the Conti GT even when
the tarmac stops.
This Continental GT ‘Off Road’ is by far one of the
most extreme Bentleys out there and we really dig the idea of blasting down the
desert in it.
