The 2011 Continental GT is lighter than its predecessor, having shed 65kg. It is also capable of running on E85 flex fuels, which isn't so relevant to this part of the world. Under the bonnet, the 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine has a raised power output of 567bhp and 700Nm of torque — up 15bhp and 50Nm over the previous edition. This is mated to a new ZF Quickshift transmission which enables double downshifts and cuts change times in half, to a region of 200 milliseconds. The 'box, however, still only has the six ratios.
The power is mainlined to all four wheels with a 40:60 front-to-rear standard torque split, a change from the old car's 50:50 distribution that curbs understeer and enables a little more adjustability with the throttle.
This is all good for a 0-100kph time of 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 318kph.
