The new Bentley Continental GT - The Engineering

The Continental GT is the first Bentley to introduce an all-new three-chamber air spring system to provide the foundation for the chassis. The three-chamber setup contains 60 per cent more air volume than the previous single-chamber springs, with the ability to switch chambers in and out of use, thus giving a range of spring stiffness – either softer or harder than the previous passive system. This gives a chassis setup to suit every occasion - from true limousine ride comfort to sporting levels of body control and stiffness. The set-up of the chassis (ride height, damping, roll control and torque distribution, together with the settings for the engine and drivetrain) is commanded centrally through one rotary control – the Bentley Drive Dynamics selector.
