Default ONYX Bentley Continental Platinium GTO

ONYX is an Irish luxury car tuning company new to the game
Their first car? pretty nice if u ask me,

i could do without the hood slits and the blacked out headlights but other wise a sick bentely GT

The rear is sick though

Irish tuners Onyx Concept have released a package of upgrades for the Bentley Continental GT. The Onyx Bentley Continental Platinum GTO kit could boost power to around 640 bhp (477 kW / 649 PS) from the standard 553 bhp (412 kW / 560 PS).

Changes have been made to the car's front bumper, which now includes carbon fiber modifications. They also installed LED daytime runners, as well as a front carbon fiber splitter. The new arches widen the cars stance, and match the new sidesills.

In back, a new rear bumper with carbon diffuser has been installed. The carbon decklid spoiler matches the diffuser, but would look nicer if it matched the car's body colour.

Suspension on the car has been lowered with new 22-inch matte black wheels also included. This looks to offer little-to-no clearance should the car hit a hard bump.

According to the company, the Onyx Bentley Continental Platinum GTO package should be available in March.

I'm not sure about this one.

It seems really conspicuous to me, and I think not in a good way.

Kind of like a large bloated looking man in a shiney black suit.

WTF? I feel like companies are making bodykits just to make it. So many new aftermarket kits posted on CL the last few days (Lexus and non Lexus) and they all are ugly as sin.

Nothing matches the design language of the original car and they all look tacked on. Why something so outlandish on a blvd. cruiser like the Bentley CGT? WTF are they doing?

Hood vents, side vents, smoked lights, and the rear bumper all kill the look of the car. Like the wheels though

That body kit is borderline tragic! Almost looks like a Hyundai Tiburon or something weird like that.

The only part of the article that's personal input from the author, and it's wrong. Someone direct this guy to hellaflush.

The rear is crazy (in a good way), but I would forgo the running lights and tinted headlight covers.

i guess people who buy these outrageous kits suffer from ADS (attention deficit syndrome)...maybe driving a bentley isn't bling enough, so they have to get a kit that make people go "wow"?
