Bentley Emirates, the exclusive representative of Bentley Motors in the UAE under Al Habtoor Motors, has announced the arrival of the much-anticipated fourth-generation Continental GT Speed.

Marking a new era for grand tourers, the ultra-luxury performance vehicle was unveiled in a fittingly exclusive event held at the Dubai Autodrome, where Bentley customers and enthusiasts were invited to experience the powerful new model firsthand.

The new Continental GT Speed is Bentley’s most powerful road-going model to date, boasting a groundbreaking hybrid powertrain. At its heart, a 4.0-litre V8 engine works seamlessly with a 187-horsepower electric motor, achieving a remarkable 771 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque. This translates to a 0-100 km/h sprint in a breathtaking 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 335 km/h. Designed to blend supercar-level power with eco-conscious efficiency, the Continental GT Speed also offers an electric-only range of up to 81 km and a low CO2 emission rate of 29 g/km.

To complement its powerhouse engine, Bentley has equipped the Continental GT Speed with state-of-the-art Performance Active Chassis technology, featuring Active All-Wheel Drive, all-wheel steering, and an electronic limited-slip differential. Together with a perfectly balanced 50:50 weight distribution, these advanced systems deliver agile handling, impeccable grip, and control that redefines the grand touring experience. The car’s sophisticated engineering effortlessly balances thrilling performance with Bentley’s hallmark smooth ride, making it the most versatile model in the Continental GT lineup.

Inside, Bentley has raised the bar for automotive luxury. The cabin of the Continental GT Speed showcases Bentley’s peerless craftsmanship, now enhanced with innovative wellness-focused features. New wellness seat technology, refined air ionization systems, and Bentley’s pioneering three-dimensional leather textures create an atmosphere of comfort and sophistication. Dark Chrome accents and an expansive range of customizable interior options allow each owner to infuse their unique style into the car’s interior. From modern quilting to the immersive Naim audio system, every element is meticulously crafted to offer the ultimate in luxury and comfort.

Bentley’s designers have given the new Continental GT Speed a bolder, more assertive aesthetic that reflects its power and precision. For the first time since the 1950s, the car’s face features single headlamps, lending it a unique and modern expression. Its muscular stance, elongated bonnet, and streamlined bodywork create an imposing presence on the road, effortlessly combining elegance with performance in Bentley’s signature style.

Every Continental GT Speed, whether coupe or convertible, is meticulously handcrafted at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe, England, ensuring each model embodies the finest in British automotive heritage and luxury. As production begins worldwide, the new Continental GT Speed is poised to redefine the grand touring landscape, offering an unparalleled driving experience for discerning customers in the UAE and beyond.

With customer deliveries already underway in the UAE, Bentley aficionados are invited to explore this extraordinary new model in person. Bentley Emirates’ showrooms in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are prepared to welcome clients eager to experience the luxury, performance, and elegance of the Continental GT Speed.
