Far from a small update, 68% of components in the new Continental GT Speed are entirely new. The refreshed hybrid powertrain is made possible by Bentley's 400-volt electrical architecture, greatly reducing emissions and providing an electric-only range of 50 miles.

Additionally, for the first time in the history of the Continental GT, this new model is launching alongside the convertible Continental GTC, allowing drivers to decide if they want to go top down or not from the get go.

Developed from the ground up, the new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain mixes a 4-liter V8 engine that produces 584 bhp with a 187 bhp electric motor. Once combined the new Continental GT Speed can produce 771 bhp, capable of accelerating the vehicle from 0-60 in only 3.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 208 mp/h.

The torque has also increased considerably from the older W-12 powered Continental GT Speed. Up 11%, the new version now produces 738 lb ft of torque. This, alongside the increased horsepower, makes this new Bentley the most powerful ever. This is all achieved while reducing CO2 produced and bringing down fuel consumption to just one-tenth of a similar petrol powertrain.

Torque:                 1000 Nm (738 lb-ft) 

Layout:                  front engine, all wheel drive
