The fourth-generation Continental GT Speed becomes the most powerful road going Bentley ever.

On the road, a Bentley consistently projects an unmistakable presence with its authoritative demeanour. This commanding stance is complemented by the breathtaking performance of its robust engine. Equipped with a meticulously calibrated suspension system designed for a ballet of comfort and agility, every curve is greeted with grace, as it glides over the pavement with finesse that amazes both driver and observer alike.

Continuing to impress, the latest iteration, the Bentley Continental GT Speed, builds upon a 21-year lineage of unparalleled distinction, marking a significant leap forward in automotive craftsmanship and technological innovation.

At the heart of the Continental GT Speed lies an all-new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain. This cutting-edge system combines a 4.0-litre V8 engine with a 190 PS electric motor, delivering an astounding 782 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque. Imagine experiencing the instant torque and silent acceleration of an electric vehicle—it’s the best of both worlds. Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds, with an electric-only range of 81 km, it’s like having a magic carpet that glides silently through a cityscape, emitting zero emissions and whispering along the streets without a drop of fuel. With a total range of 859 km, it assures endurance comparable to a picturesque coastal journey, where each mile holds.

Enhancing its formidable power, an upgraded chassis system includes two-chamber air springs, dual-valve dampers, Bentley Dynamic Ride, and advanced torque vectoring. Together, these components ensure exceptional body control and fulfil the smoothest ride in the storied history of the Continental GT, aided by a rear-biassed weight distribution for optimal handling.

The exterior design represents a remarkable evolution, drawing inspiration from Bentley’s esteemed coachbuilt models such as the Bacalar and Batur. It introduces a bold new front fascia elementing single headlamps, a departure not seen in mainstream Bentleys since the 1950s. Inside, the tradition of world-class luxury continues with enriched materials, textures, and craftsmanship enhancements, including state-of-the-art wellness seat technology and bespoke finishes.

Handcrafted at Bentley’s renowned Dream Factory in Crewe, England, both coupe and convertible models epitomise Bentley’s dedication to custom-made luxury. A plethora of exterior colours, luxurious interior trims, and exclusive Mulliner options await to create a tailored masterpiece.

What’s more? Its driving experience is further enhanced by its new Performance Active Chassis, incorporating all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, and Bentley’s high- tech ESC control software. Acknowledging the importance of technology in driving, the latest generation Continental GT Speed showcases its innovative electrical architecture. This system supports progressive infotainment features, driver assistance systems, and over-the-air updates, perfectly integrating with mobile devices. It provides wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, along with Bentley’s My Bentley app, elevating connectivity and convenience.
