The most powerful road car ever made by Bentley is also its first hybrid electric. Lift the hood of the new Continental GT Speed, and the Ultra-Performance Hybrid Powertrain gives a glimpse of Bentley’s future, where V8 power gets a big boost of torque from an electric motor, delivering astonishing performance to match inimitable style and hand-stitched luxury for which the cars from Crewe are famous. Along with its hybrid powertrain, a 48-volt electronic anti-roll system enhances stability when cornering, without compromising on ride refinement when driving in a straight line, while all-wheel steering reduces the turning circle for even better maneuverability. The Continental GT’s single-headlamp design is a first, replacing the iconic quad-headlamp layout used since 2003. The exclusive First Edition comes with a range of features that clearly signify its status, including First Edition exterior badges, First Edition treadplates and First Edition embroidery inside.
