Next-gen Conti gets ‘ultra performance hybrid’ powertrain with 31bhp more than the retired W12
Bentley has released the first pictures of the next-generation Continental GT, which will pack nearly 800bhp from a new hybrid drivetrain to become the firm's most powerful car yet. A heavy revision of today's third-generation car, it is the first Bentley to use the new ‘ultra performance hybrid’ set-up, pairing an uprated 4.0-litre V8 with a single electric motor - expected to be integrated into the gearbox.
As well as mammoth power, the plug-in hybrid set-up officially delivers 50 miles of electric-only driving between charges, contributing to a CO2 emissions figure below 50g/km. Those vitals would place it in the 8% benefit-in-kind tax band for fiscal year 2024-25. Bentley has yet to detail the weight implications of the electrified innards, but the outgoing V8 GT Speed tipped Autocar’s scales at a hefty 2279kg.
