(Crewe, June 18, 2024) The highly anticipated fourth-generation Continental GT Speed from Bentley will be unveiled at precisely 16:00 BST on Tuesday, June 25.
With an impressive output of 782 PS and a torque rating of up to 1000 Nm combined with an electric-only range reaching up to fifty miles (80 kilometers) and a CO2-emission figure under fifty grams per kilometer according to WLTP standards. This new iteration signifies a monumental leap for Bentley. It stands as not only the most potent road car in their century-long history but also marks a pivotal point in their Beyond100 initiative aimed at leading sustainable luxury mobility through plug-in drivetrains across all models. As expected from any Bentley vehicle, it maintains unparalleled handcrafted luxury using exceptional materials.
The latest chassis technology includes active all-wheel drive with torque vectoring capabilities, four-wheel steering mechanisms, electronic Limited Slip Differential systems along with advanced dual-valve dampers supported by forty-eight-volt electric active anti-roll control—making this model one of the most dynamic Bentleys ever produced while being dubbed as the first ‘everyday supercar’ within its segment. A fresh design coupled with cutting-edge technology encapsulates what defines modern-day Bentleys.
To validate its performance prowess further; on June twenty-fifth during launch day announcements—it will be revealed that this new Continental GT Speed has recently achieved an unofficial “underwater speed record” clocking speeds up-to two-hundred-and-eight miles-per-hour (three-hundred-thirty-five kilometers-per-hour) inside Norway’s Ryfylke Tunnel—the world’s longest subsea road tunnel which also holds records for depth among tunnels globally—a film documenting this feat shall premiere simultaneously upon launch time too!
