2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed ​​- Monster Luxury Sports Coupe!

More Info: AKTEPE SOUND   / aktepesound   2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed Review Bentley is embracing electrification, its ‘ultra performance’ hybrid making the Continental GT Speed the most potent and quickest model yet. Quite a way to spend a couple of days, roaring around in Bentley’s fourth-generation Continental GT Speed, convincingly the quickest production car the Brit has yet conceived. And while literally it does roar when set in the Sport mode, it’s not the famed W12 under the hood. In its place, an updated 4.0 twin-turbo V8 allied to a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Much of the time there’s no noise at all, for this can operate as an EV. Bentley started out with supercharging, moved to turbocharging and with this latest powertrain is “electrocharging”. Not that it has abandoned turbocharging. And electrocharging is essentially a fancy term for hybrid tech; there’s a motor inside the eight-speed twin-clutch transmission that adds 140kW of stomp down low to compensate for any turbolag from the engine. Total system power of 575kW (771hp) is aided and abetted by 1000Nm of torque to propel this 2.5 tonne 2+2 coupe. That’s almost 20 per cent more power than the W12 made. You can have the exact same mill in a cabriolet GT Speed if you want. But that will cost even more than the $516k asking price for the hardtop. Naturally, that’s just the beginning for Bentley which has made an artform of accessorising. Our particular demonstrator, admittedly with most of the option boxes ticked, eventually settled on $678k. One particular chap at a local golf club got quite hot under the collar when told of this. He stormed off while muttering something about not paying house prices for a car. Green Monster And he’s right, it is a vastly considerable sum but then the GT Speed is quite an exquisite thing…apart perhaps for the hero paint colour. Green is fine in a British Racing hue, but this particular tone, Tourmaline Green, not so much. Still, there are 62 other exterior hues on offer. Inside is familiar, while seats and infotainment are updated. Our particular drive car featured carbon fibre inserts rolling around into the door cards. Some reckon Bentley dashes should be full of wood. However, this is the performance model. On the styling front, this may well be the flashest Conti GT yet. Gone are the twin headlights and in their place single slimline units shot through with eyebrow-like DRLs. The grille is smaller, bumpers different. This is a much better look. Round the back are wide and slim taillights, and exquisitely pronounced haunches. Hulking 22-inch rims are shod in PZeros (275/35 front, 315/30 rear). Despite that, the ride quality is only ever sumptuous, even in the Sport mode. That’s partly because this has a 48v roll control system, so doesn’t need firm damping to help limit body movements. There’s also the dual-chamber air suspension chipping in, especially velvety in Comfort. Not that anyone will ever really shift out of Bentley mode, the default, which is a luscious mix of ride and handling. And that has long been the case with Conti GTs.
