Spy Shots: Grand Bentley covered in camo before Pebble Beach unveiling

Spy Shots: Grand Bentley - Click above for a high-res image gallery

Like every big reveal of the past few years, Bentley has decided to dish out a series of teasers before unveiling its new model to the world. Thankfully, we're only a few weeks away from the Grand Bentley's debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and before the main event takes place, we've got a few spy shots of the flying-B's large-and-in-charge luxo-barge.

Although the Grand Bentley is coated in copious amounts of camo, when we look back at the two teasers Bentley released of the hood and rear-quarter, it doesn't take much imagination to piece things together. There's a few shades of the Mulsanne and Brooklands to the profile, primarily accentuated by the ultra-thick C-pillar, and while the body cladding lends an air of Phantom to the fascia, it's decidedly more sculpted and smooth, and should be a fitting place to stack the duo of round headlamps we've seen in previous spy shots. All will be revealed next month, but in the meantime, check out the gallery of images below.

Looks to me like the new Bentley is going to be a great one :D

I don't like the huge "Arnage" Bentleys. Sure if you're an established business man, criminal overload or just P. Diddy it's great, but I much prefer the CGT style.

The whole "big classic luxury sedan" appeals to me greatly. I absolutely love it :D

I loved the old Arnage, this masking looks too much like a Rolls though...

The list goes on... Still waiting for a Veyron though.

I know someone who had a veyron very briefly down here. I've not seen the R8 V10 but most of the rest. Also seen a bristol in the records office car park. Not seen the 16m either and didn't think they were made yet. There are a few marcos around, one lives in chilbolton avanue along with a bently and a few other things.

Its the test way down around stockbridge so there are going to be some specil stuff tucked in there.

Anyway sure we'll see this new bently soon enougth.

Actually I can't wait to see what this car properly looks like. It'd be interesting to see how they replace the Arnage range, esp because some (me included) don't think of the Continental series as proper Bentleys, but instead, really posh VWs. Also, anyone know if they're still gonna keep the old 6.75L V8? Would be quite a shame to lose that piece of history
