The new Bentley Continental GT is like something out of a James Bond movie

For the past 15 years, the Continental GT and its numerous variants have comprised the heart of Bentley's lineup. Even though the long-serving Continental got a much-needed second generation in 2011, it was more of a refresh of the original that debuted in 2003.

On Tuesday, Bentley finally unleashed an all-new third generation Continental GT super grand tourer.

"Bentley has been at the forefront of luxury Grand Touring for nearly one hundred years," Wolfgang Dürheimer, Bentley Motors chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "The new, third-generation Continental GT is the pinnacle of our design and engineering achievements and marks the next step in Bentley's journey."

"We are the world leader in luxury mobility and our products and services define new luxury in the automotive world. The new Continental GT encapsulates our desire to innovate as well as celebrate our heritage and take the Bentley ownership experience to the next, unparalleled level," Dürheimer added.

The new Continental will make its official world debut at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
