Bentley Motors – New 2025 Continental GT Speed: See it on our 2024 Concept Lawn
August 18, 2024
The new Bentley Continental GT Speed is the fourth generation of the definitive luxury grand tourer.
A comprehensive redesign brings the biggest change to the face of the Continental GT since its original launch in 2003, and it is the first mainstream Bentley without four headlamps since the 1960s. The new Continental GT continues the new design direction being taken by Bentley since the launch of the coachbuilt Bacalar and Batur models, focusing on cleaner, more muscular surfaces with fewer interruptions.
However, the most significant changes are beneath the skin. An all-new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain delivers a total of 771 bhp and 738 lb ft, for a significant step forward in dynamic ability. A new 600 bhp, 590 lb ft 4.0-liter V8 engine works in harmony with a 190 bhp, 332 lb ft electric motor to complete the sprint from zero to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 208 mph. As well as stunning performance, the new system brings an electric-only driving range of 50 miles, meaning the new Continental GT can deliver luxurious, silent electric motoring along with exceptional acceleration.
A new suspension system harnesses the increased power, delivering a quantum leap in dynamic agility when in Sport mode. For everyday driving, new dual-valve dampers deliver a step change in ride comfort to further improve the Continental GT’s abilities as an everyday supercar and a long-distance grand tourer.
