Bentley Saudi Arabia has unveiled the fourth-generation Continental GT Speed, following in the 21-year tradition of the Continental GT family by redefining the ultimate blend of supercar performance, handcrafted luxury and everyday usability.
A comprehensive exterior and interior redesign with clean modern detailing follow the new design DNA established by the coachbuilt Bentley Bacalar and Batur. Outstanding performance is brought by a new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain with 782 PS and 1,000 Nm, from a 4-liter V8 working in tandem with a 190 PS electric motor. The result is 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds, with the benefit of 81 km of usable electric-only range and a total range of 859 km — creating an everyday supercar.
The performance of the powertrain is matched by a new chassis system, with new two-chamber air springs paired with new dual-valve dampers, along with Bentley Dynamic Ride (48 V active anti-roll control), eLSD and torque vectoring. Incredible body control and the best Continental GT ride comfort to date are the results, supported by a 49:51, rear-biased weight distribution for the first time in the car’s history.
Under the skin, a suite of modern innovative technology delivers class-leading capability so that every journey is a seamless experience in terms of driver assistance, infotainment systems and connected car services.
The new exterior continues the design revolution for Bentley’s future journey, with the biggest revision to the face of the Continental GT in two decades, and the first mainstream Bentley with single headlamps since the 1950s.
World-leading Bentley interior cabin design, materials, quality, and craftsmanship continue with the introduction of further wellness seat technology, new air ionization, three-dimensional leather textures, new modern quilting, and technical finishes such as new dark chrome.
A completely new 400-volt electrical architecture enables the most advanced suite of powertrain technology to be offered by a luxury automotive brand today, delivering emissions of 29 g/km of CO2 and an electric range of 81 km on the WLTP drive cycle.
For the first time in the history of the Continental GT, the convertible Continental GTC is being launched concurrently with the coupe — providing ultimate flexibility for customers who appreciate both open topped and closed roof motoring.
The fourth-generation Continental will also benefit with the introduction of the My Bentley App Studio — the newest addition to Bentley’s digital ecosystem for customers. Customers can gain access to a wide variety of vehicle and third-party applications, which can be downloaded directly, independent of a smartphone to the infotainment system.
Peter Smith, general manager of Bentley Saudi Arabia, said: “We are thrilled to announce the reveal of the extraordinary Continental GT Speed in Saudi Arabia. As Bentley’s flagship grand tourer, the Continental GT Speed offers our customers the pinnacle of grand touring capabilities, combining immense power, dynamic performance, and unparalleled luxury.”
