It may look the same, but the 2020 Bentley Continental GT Convertible is new from soup-to-nuts underneath, and much improved.

Riding atop the Volkswagen Group's MSB architecture, the new Conti droptop is both stiffer and lighter.

0-60 mph runs happen in a Bentley-estimated 3.7 seconds and top speed is listed at 207 mph.

This color is dubbed Orange Flame. 

It looks great and miles deep, but I might advise against the black optics package, because it lends a bit of a Halloween vibe to the overall look.
