Wild limited edition Bentley

Zagato may be a small Italian firm but it has made a big hit at the Geneva show with its interpretation of the Bentley Continental GT.

Called the GTZ, the luxury coupé has been completely restyled and features two-tone paint to highlight its new looks.

At the front, Zagato has cleared away the standard GT's bumper and replaced it with a large air intake.

There are also vents in the bonnet to keep the 600bhp 6.0-litre W12 engine cool.

Unique alloy wheels sit under wheel arches that have been stretched out to cover the fat tyres, and there's a prominent kick up over the rear wheel arch's line.

The roof of the GTZ has come in for serious attention and now has a 'double bubble' curve where the lowered roof sculpts itself over the heads of its occupants.

More radical surgery has been carried out at the rear and, like the front, the original bumper has been cast aside.

In the bumper's place is a more curved line to the back end of the GTZ and completely new rear lights.

Inside, the GTZ is more like the standard Bentley and is packed with all of the luxury goodies you'd find in the factory model.

The Zagato GTZ comes with the full blessing of Bentley and will be produced in very limited numbers, though Zagato has yet to mention the price. If you have to ask...
