The new Continental GT Speed - debuts at Goodwood

2024-07-11

Fourth generation Continental GT and GTC Speed debut at Goodwood’s Festival of Speed. Cars appear on the hillclimb and in the bespoke “FOShtank”. Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain with 782 PS and 1000 Nm. New chassis system delivers the most neutral and natural handling Bentley to date. Latest generation brings bolder design DNA, with single headlamps, that heralds a design revolution for Bentley. World-leading four-seat interior can offer wellness seat technology, new air ionisation, 3D leather, new quilting and new dark chrome finish. New models can be seen twice a day on the famous Goodwood Hill during the event.

The new, fourth-generation Continental GT Speed made its global public debut today – both on the hillclimb and in a unique ‘underwater’ display - supporting this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed and its theme of “Horseless to Hybrid - Revolutions in Power”.

The new Continental GT Speed – shown at Goodwood in both coupe and convertible versions - becomes the most powerful road-going Bentley ever created. The new grand tourer is powered by an all-new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain with 782 PS and 1,000 Nm, achieving more horsepower and more torque than the outgoing W12, but with a significant drop in CO2 to 29 g/km*.

The performance of the powertrain is matched by a new chassis system, with new two-chamber air springs paired with new dual-valve dampers, along with Bentley Dynamic Ride (48V active anti-roll control), eLSD and torque vectoring. Incredible body control and the best Continental GT ride comfort to date are the results, supported by a 49:51, rear-biased weight distribution for the first time in the car’s history.
