771bhp GT is Crewe's quickest and most powerful road car yet; chassis upgrades see 50:50 weight distribution
The new Continental GT Speed is the first car to use Bentley’s Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain and ushers in a bold new design language for the electrified era. Evolved from the outgoing car, the new Continental GT has a substantial carry-over of bodywork and interior technology but it has been refreshed significantly enough to be homologated as a new car, Bentley claims, with 68% of the parts replaced.
It has gained a new-generation stability control system, an uprated anti-roll system and new suspension components that allow for “more sophisticated tuning options”. With the battery mounted at the back, the Continental now has 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution so is “inherently balanced during dynamic driving”, according to Bentley.
