Bentley has expanded its electrified lineup with the debut of a new high-performance hybrid powertrain across its Continental GT, Continental GT Convertible (GTC), and Flying Spur models. Delivering 670 hp and 685 lb-ft of torque, the hybrid V8 system now powers a broader range of configurations, offering Bentley’s signature blend of performance, luxury and electric efficiency.
This new 4L V8 plug-in hybrid, paired with a powerful electric motor, sits just below the brand’s 771 hp Ultra Performance Hybrid found in the Speed models. However, it still outpaces the previous generation W12 Speed in all key metrics, achieving 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds in the Continental GT and offering up to 53 miles of pure electric range.
Each model is now available in three distinct specifications — core, Speed and Azure — with the Azure placing a premium on wellness and comfort. Azure variants include features like massage-capable Wellness seating, mood lighting and 3D Harmony diamond quilting.
Design highlights across the new fourth-gen Continental GT and GTC include Bentley’s signature black matrix grille, Harmony crystal-inspired headlamps with bespoke welcome animations and chrome-accented tailpipes. Inside, handcrafted fluted leather seats and personalized chrome or dark chrome detailing reinforce Bentley’s bespoke appeal.
The new Flying Spur High Performance Hybrid follows suit, blending performance — 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds — with luxurious refinement for up to five occupants. The Azure trim further enhances the Flying Spur’s premium credentials with heated, ventilated and massaging seats in both rows. All models benefit from Bentley’s Active Chassis technology, offering a composed ride with adaptive features like Dynamic Ride, rear-wheel steering and an electronic limited-slip differential. Prices for the new Continental GT start at $265,900 USD and are available for order now through authorized Bentley dealers.
