Experience the Revolutionary 2025 Bentley Continental GT: Embarking on a New Luxury Era
The Evolution of Luxury: Bentley’s Continental GT Speed
In an era where every car brand is shifting towards an electrified future, Bentley is taking a bold step towards a more sustainable luxury experience. The 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed, a plug-in hybrid masterpiece, is not just an addition to the lineup – it’s a replacement for the non-hybrid GT Speed, marking a new era for the century-old British automaker.
Design and Interior
At first glance, the Continental GT Speed may seem identical to its predecessor, but nearly every surface has been reworked to create a sleeker, more modern design. The front grille, headlights, and bumper have been reimagined, giving the car a more imposing presence. The rear fenders are now more prominent, and the taillights have been reshaped to produce aerodynamic downforce.
Inside, the Continental GT Speed exudes opulence. The dashboard is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, with premium wood, brushed aluminum, or carbon fiber trim, deep-pile carpets, and leather seats available in a range of colors. The interior is designed to provide a sense of space and comfort, with the driver and front-seat passenger enjoying a greater feeling of spaciousness than in most two-door cars.
Tech, Infotainment, and Driver Assist
The Continental GT Speed features a range of cutting-edge technologies, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10-speaker, 650-watt Bang & Olufsen audio system, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen that can be stowed away when not in use. The infotainment system is intuitive and user-friendly, with a range of driver aids and features to enhance the driving experience.
Performance
The Continental GT Speed is powered by a 771-horsepower W12 engine, paired with an electric motor to provide a combined output of 738 pound-feet of torque. This plug-in hybrid powertrain combines the best of both worlds – the endless torque of the W12 and the superior driving characteristics of the V8 powertrain. With a 0-60 mph time of just 3.1 seconds, the Continental GT Speed is the most powerful series-production Bentley road car ever built.
Electric Range and Charging
The Continental GT Speed has an electric range of up to 50 miles on the European WLTP testing cycle, and can be charged to 80% in just 2.7 hours. The car features strong regenerative braking, which helps to maintain the battery state of charge and enhance the overall driving experience.
How We Would Configure This Car
We would specify the First Edition GT Speed coupe or GTC Speed convertible, with a base price of $302,100 and $332,200, respectively. Our car would feature the Bentley Rotating Display, the Touring Specification, and the carbon-ceramic brake option. We would also customize the paint color, interior trim, leather hides, and other design details to make our car truly unique.
The Future of Luxury
The Continental GT Speed is a testament to Bentley’s commitment to innovation and luxury. While other car brands may be exploring the boundaries of electric power, Bentley is pushing the limits of what is possible with hybridization. The Continental GT Speed is a masterclass in combining sportiness and luxury, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this storied automaker.
