Introducing the New Continental GT Speed, Bentley's Most Powerful Creation to Date.
Express Vehicle Contracts reports Bentley has launched its fourth-generation Continental GT Speed, now featuring a cutting-edge plug-in hybrid powertrain.
This latest model is the most powerful road-going Bentley to date, boasting an impressive 782 PS. It has set an unofficial 'Underwater Speed’ world record in Norway’s Ryfylke Tunnel, reaching 208 mph in just 33 seconds.
The GT Speed showcases Bentley's revamped design language, with the most significant exterior update in two decades. The new model presents a ‘resting beast’ stance, featuring 22-inch alloys reminiscent of tiger claws and elegant single headlamps, a first for mainstream Bentleys since the 1950s.
Inside, expect Bentley’s signature luxury with quilted upholstery, adjustable seats, high-spec sound systems, and a versatile centre display. The 'Ultra Performance Hybrid' powertrain combines a 4.0-litre V8 engine with a 190 PS electric motor, enabling up to 50 miles of electric-only travel and speeds up to 87 mph in full electric mode.
With advanced features like an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, electronic limited-slip differential, and a new Performance Active Chassis, the GT Speed ensures top-notch handling and near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution.
Estimated to start at £240,000, the Bentley GT Speed is set to become a coveted item among enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The GT Speed's performance figures are nothing short of extraordinary. This powerhouse can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.5 seconds, underscoring its position as a benchmark for superlative engineering and sheer driving pleasure. This rapid acceleration is achieved through the seamless integration of its high-output V8 engine and potent electric motor, delivering instantaneous torque and robust power.
