The fourth-generation Bentley Continental GT Speed and the Continental GT Mulliner mark a significant evolution in ultra-luxury grand touring. Both models’ forward-looking design, meticulously crafted cabins, and powerful yet efficient hybrid power plants characterize the most consequential transformation of the Continental GT nameplate in two decades.
Reinterpreting the brand’s iconic design features, the new Continental GT Speed and the Mulliner version bring back Bentley’s signature single headlamp — a defining feature last seen in the 1950s. The models are also inspired by the coachbuilt Bentley Bacalar and Batur.
Plus, these can be specified to an endless array of different combinations, allowing owners to personalize every detail of the vehicles according to their own taste. Each element, from an advanced chassis to the hand-finished interior, embodies Bentley’s meticulous dedication to craftsmanship.
The company’s artisans in the Crewe factory in England have created an interior that exudes opulence and refinement. Intricate diamond quilting and hand-stitched leather seats elevate the cabin’s aesthetic, while premium materials, including fine wood veneers and polished metal accents, contribute to a rich, immersive driving experience.
Signifying Bentley’s commitment to a carbon-positive future is that the fourth-generation Continental models are equipped with Bentley’s new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain. Fusing a powerful 4.0-liter V8 engine with an electric motor, the system delivers 782 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque.
As a result, the grand tourers can accelerate from rest to 100 km/h in an astonishing 3.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 335 km/h, all while significantly reducing consumption and emissions.
Beyond sheer speed, the hybrid powertrain is also capable of traveling over 80 kilometers on electric power alone.
Fitted to the new Continental GT models is the new Bentley Performance Active Chassis system. It is complemented by equally new dual-valve dampers with dual-chamber air springs. The new components enhance the Bentley Dynamic Ride and torque vectoring systems.
The Continental GT Speed builds upon the already impressive standard model, offering an even more driver-focused experience. A black gloss radiator grille, dark tint LED headlamps, and distinctive badges set it apart visually, while its performance-oriented chassis tuning ensures sharper responses and a heightened connection between driver and machine.
The enhancements have resulted in levels of dynamic precision not achieved by any previous Continental GT model, and merge supercar performance with efficiency and luxurious day-to-day usability.
