Bentley announces the new Continental GT Speed

Complete with dazzling looks and phenomenal performance levels, Bentley Motors has announced the brand-new Continental GT Speed. 21 years after the first Continental model, the historic British manufacturer unveiled the fourth generation of one of its most iconic models.

The new GT Speed includes a new hybrid powertrain and high-tech upgrades, together with a modern and aggressive design that will catch the attention of long-time customers and enthusiasts.

Performance-wise, the new Bentley Continental GT Speed is ready for new heights thanks to its Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain: A 584bhp, 4.0 liter V8 engine combined with a further 187bhp from an electric motor.

With 771bhp of peak system output, the new Continental GT Speed is capable of going from 0-60 mph in only 3.1 seconds and reaching a top speed of 208 mph. That makes it the most powerful road-going Bentley ever.

Complementing this amazing powertrain are an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and an electronic limited slip differential to all four wheels - part of the new Bentley Performance Active Chassis - granting good traction in every situation. The car also features different modes to manage the energy flow, including a charge mode that lets the engine recharge the battery and drive the wheels of the car at the same time.

The new Continental GT Speed impresses not only in its performance but also in its beauty. A contemporary design sees the fourth-generation Continental include an “endless bonnet” that exudes elegance and luxury - a trademark for the British manufacturer.

The entire vehicle has received a visual uplift from the previous line, with more refined shapes, digitally-controlled LED lamps, and a redesigned rear end, which sees an integrated aerodynamic form in the trunk lid that avoids the need for a rear spoiler.

The interiors have always been one of the strongest points for Bentley, and their latest model does not disappoint. 20-way adjustable seats with Postural Adjust and Auto Climate, a new quilt pattern and embroidery, and a range of three different audio systems to choose from are only some of the features the latest Continental GT Speed can offer.

Bentley’s latest model will also include the best technological additions, thanks to a supportive environment display, Intelligent Park Assist, and a refined air conditioning system. The car will be available in more colors than ever before, with exciting additions such as Gravity Grey and Tourmaline Green ready to catch the attention of every client.

The new Continental GT Speed is ready to take the market by storm, as its redefined beauty and striking performance are destined to leave a mark while ensuring a remarkably enjoyable experience behind the wheel.
