Usually when a new car is released, tuning companies are just foaming at the mouth to create a tuning package that will transform the look of the vehicle. This time, Bentley has beaten the tuning firms to the punch by releasing a brand new feature created especially for the Continental GT. The "Mulliner Styling Specification" was created by Raul Pires, Head of Exterior Design at Bentley, to give customers the opportunity to fit their luxury coupe with a range of exterior styling options. "The Mulliner Styling Specification, with its sharper lines and darker, lower appearance subtly underscores the extrovert, flamboyant nature of our new Coupe. It delivers a more personalized, sportive interpretation of a luxurious, refined GT," said Raul Pires, Bentley’s head of exterior design. The new Mulliner Styling Specification comes in a Classic Pack, along with a few additional design options to tweak your Bentley. Prices for the exterior modifications have yet to be announced. Hit the jump to read more about the Bentley Continental GT with Mulliner Styling Specification. Exterior and Interior The Mulliner Styling Specification begins with the Classic Pack. This pack comes with a front bumper splitter, strakes integrated into the lower air intake grilles, extension blades positioned beneath the sills, and the rear diffuser which are all made from a specially commissioned, black high-gloss carbon-fiber. In addition to the Classic Pack, Bentley has also come up with a few design options. These options include a carbon fiber rear spoiler, carbon-fiber door mirror cowls, curved wing vents, and 21-inch 7-spoke Elegant alloy wheels in a dramatic black-painted finish with contrasting bright machined detailing. The dark chrome mesh vents (framed by a carbon-fiber bezel) are positioned just behind the front wheel arches and offer improved heat diffusion as well as forcefully underlining the Continental GT’s high-performance credentials. Engine Under the hood of the Mulliner Continental GT, everything remains unchanged. Specifically, the vehicle will still carry a 6.0 liter W12 engine that delivers a total of 567 HP and 516 lb-ft of torque. The car sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and can hit a top speed of 198 mph. PricesThe Classic Pack is available to order from June 2011 onwards and the optional design features can be ordered from authorized Bentley dealers from Autumn 2011. Prices haven’t been announced just yet. Competition The list of competitors for the Bentley Continental GT include models like the Maserati GranTurismo and the Aston Martin DBS. The Maserati GranTurismo features a very elegant road presence and is powered by a V8 4.2 engine with 405 hp. It can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. Bond’s car, on the other hand, packs an even bigger punch. The Aston Martin DBS gets a V12 engine producing a total of 510 hp which will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds.  Carbon Fiber elements Impressive look Powerful engine Will undoubtedly be expensive 21 comments: Bentley Continental GT with Mulliner Styling Specification This vehicle of Bentley is already looking great and fabulous on its white body paint, and I’m glad that they still use an impressive and powerful engine on this one even though it isn’t a sports car.
 I love the aesthetic and decent looks of this one and for a sedan, its engine is already too powerful, which is one of its striking features.  Anyway, I hope that it also had an impressive interior.
 Even if, it only had a simple styling and detailing, I must say that it is still very captivating on its looks because of its hygienic body paint. Even so, I’m quite curious on its interior.
 This is really my dream car, From its exterior and interior everything is perfect and done with best concept. Hopefully to have this soon.
 Yeah, I was impressed with the styling of the car. However, the produced power output of the v12 technology is kind of less powerful.
 I really love the speed performance of the car. The styling look so aggressive. And I think this car has a tough competitor.
 The engine is enough for this one and I like the specification they made on this one. I also like the exterior design of the car. I’m looking for the pricing of the car, and they did not put it
there but I hope it will not be expensive.
 Well, I don’ think that it has an impressive speed performance. For a W12 engine I was expecting for higher figure than 500 hp! I guess this car needs a boost on its power output.
 Among the Bentley model, the continental has an impressive performance since it was based from racing car. However, still we can see an elegant styling for the car. The engine performance is great as well.
