Bentley is shaking up the luxury car space with the reveal of the all-new fourth-generation Continental GT Speed—the most powerful road-going Bentley ever made. This grand tourer packs a punch with its 782 horsepower “Ultra Performance Hybrid” powertrain, delivering a thrilling 0-60 mph time of just 3.1 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 208 mph.

But raw power is only part of the story. The Continental GT Speed also provides a smooth, silent driving experience thanks to its advanced hybrid system. It offers 50 miles of electric range, providing clean, emissions-free transportation. This allows the GT Speed to achieve a remarkable 47g/mile of CO2 emissions—a 90% reduction versus a conventional internal combustion powertrain.

The new GT Speed features dramatic exterior restyling with Bentley’s iconic design cues. It sports wider haunches, sharper lines, and the brand’s first single headlamps on a production car since the 1950s, giving it a lean, focused look. Inside, the hand-crafted cabin offers the ultimate in comfort and personalization, including new quilting patterns and Wellness seats.

Bentley complements the GT Speed’s prodigious power with an advanced chassis system for peerless control. Features like active anti-roll bars, torque vectoring, and adaptive air suspension give it sports car-like handling with luxury sedan ride quality. An electronic limited slip differential puts the power down effectively for incredible grip and traction.

This new Continental sets the benchmark for usable supercar performance in the luxury class. It builds on Bentley’s proud heritage of creating the definitive grand tourer through cutting-edge innovation. Whether customers prioritize raw speed, silent electric running, or hand-crafted indulgence, the GT Speed redefines what a Bentley can be. It’s built for unmatched refinement, technology and power—breaking the mold to create the ultimate four-seat luxury supercar.
