Another strange car accident in Russia. This Bentley Continental GT Coupe ended up in the fields. Sometimes Russians drive too fast and conflict with a speed bump. After that the Bentley Continental GT Coupe handled the impact with the two wooden poles remarkably well and second, that the driver should feel really lucky that he didn’t end up on the train rails.

The rear glass of the hatch is sunken in, and incorporates a small spoiler into the trunk lid, while the fenders appear wider than the outgoing model and the tail lamps are equipped with LEDs.
Up front, the restyled headlamps are obscured by the camouflage, but the redesigned front fascia is easily identifiable, as is the tweaked hood, which features a slight power bulge flanked by two accent lines stretching from the windshield to the bumper.
