New 782hp Continental GT!

The new Bentley Continental GT is here!

It retains the ever-recognisable shape of the Continental that we all know and love, but there’s one HUGE change compared to the previous edition. The W12 engine is gone, and in its place is a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 along with an electric motor!!

So let’s take a closer look at what’s changed. Starting with the design, it’s still instantly recognisable as a Continental. There are new headlights and taillights, and up the front there’s a redesigned bumper. Along the side there are extended side skirts, and the front & rear wings have been updated but are still relatively similar to before. Bentley has clearly taken inspiration from the Batur and Bacalar for this car!

Step inside and the comfort and quality are clear to see. There’s a new infotainment system and some refreshed digital dials, and as you’d expect there are soft-touch, high-quality materials throughout!

Then we come on to the engine. The all-new V8 combines with the electric motor to produce an incredible 782hp and 1,000Nm! The new Continental has the same 208hp top speed as before, and although we don’t know the weight yet, we know it won’t affect performance, as this car will fly to 60mph in just 3.3 seconds!

So what do you think - are these updates worthy of the Continental GT’s heritage? Let us know in the comments!

Damnit, no more w12, guess I'll keep my Dacia Sandero .

[ThunderTiger]

Who da hell is responsible for the sensor placement in the front grill....

[princesekyere]

The old one looks better from every angle

[jerdonsbabbler]

2nd gen is still the best looking to me.

[justWithRight]

This is one car that didn't need any facelift, I mean look at it! It can't get any better than it is, and I believe it will stand the test of time without any facelifts.

[Aderin.]

Its still beautiful but i prefer the previous version.

[Fractal]

GT...with a briefcase-sized boot? Break out the roof racks...oh wait...

[adityachampawat]

Bentley Bacalar owners been really mad since this came out 😂

[ibrahimgood]

@6:47 when its time to wake up for school/work but you're not finished showing off your new car 😂😂

[vanjabobic]

Looks nice and I still want the previous version W12.
Can't afford it but if I could, I'd look for one!

[LastOfGamers]

I don’t understand the new direction of carmakers in going smaller engine hybrid but total weight is the same as previous big engine! Yes it will have a slightly more hp and 0.2 seconds acceleration but if I tune that old big engine I can still get a better acceleration and enjoy the glorious sound!

[johnshaw]

No more W12?! What the hell is going on?

[behindthebuild]

Bentley’s 2027 model will have a puddle light that plays Netflix….

[speedking]

5:00" ... what happened on the DOOR PANEL at the back of Mat's NECK when the sports mode was activated?? 😮😮

[alexluke]

They could use an Cosworth detuned V12 and have a hybrid setup...just to keep 12cylinders

[YasserLoumatine-owlm]

It's so bad that it doesn't have that bright chrome appearence anymore...

[whotf]

So same top speed, roughly the same acceleration, but probably shittier in the corners because of the weight, also less trunk / boot space... IN A GRAN TOURER. Evolution, just backwards.

Edit: I know the engine is your run of the mill VAG V8, but why does it have to sound like an Audi RS7? I get that VAG is notorious for cutting corners, but at least use a different exaust, especially for a quarter million euros. Buying modern cars is the equivalent of paying anything more than €2.50 for fast food fries: You're getting ripped off.

[Fasteddiebreakshearts]

🚥 I understand the usage case for going hybrid save some co2 emissions but I have a 4.0 Bentley Continental GT that makes 1000 horsepower and 1200 foot pounds of torque ALL motor😏No hybrid…but hey different strokes for different folks 😂

[costafilh]

Oh yeah! Emissions! Exactly what I think of when I think of Bentley! /S
I hope it sells like SHIT, so they bring the W12 back and stop with the BS, like Ferrari and Aston already did!
Hybrids should be A option, not the ONLY option, especially in sports cars. Make a fvcking crossover and sell it as a hybrid only FFS!

How is this and the new G-Class not regarded as facelifts?
