Bentley has now officially confirmed that it's going to be building this car.
Bentley will present a four-door sedan based on the Continental GT coupe at the Geneva auto show in March.
"The car will have the same engine as the coupe," said Bentley boss Franz-Josef Paefgen in an interview with Automobilwoche, a German sister publication of AutoWeek. "Its price will be on a similar level, maybe slightly above."
The British luxury brand's two-door Continental GT with a 560-hp W12 engine costs about $156,485.
To avoid long delivery times, Bentley parent company Volkswagen AG is considering adding an assembly line at the Dresden, Germany, plant. The plant now builds the slow-selling VW Phaeton, which shares a platform with the Continental GT.
Paefgen said a convertible version of the Continental might be launched in 2006.
