2025 Bentley Continental GT Cricket Ball Satin
By Lorenzo Bianchi August 18, 2025
This Continental GT debuts Bentley’s Ultra Performance Hybrid V8, producing 782 PS and 1,000 Nm, good for 0–60 mph in about 3.1 seconds.
It features a 25.9 kWh battery that offers roughly 30 miles of electric-only range, prompting smoother starts and improved efficiency.
Subtle design refinements — like single headlamps and a modernized grille — carry forward the GT’s identity while nodding to Mulliner concepts like the Bacalar.
An Electrified V8 at Its Core
Bentley replaced the venerable W12 with a 4.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8 mated to an electric motor. Together, they deliver 782 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque. Off the line, the Continental GT responds with urgency—Bentley claims a 0–60 mph time of just 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 208 mph.
The hybrid battery holds 25.9 kWh, enough to propel the car for about 30 miles in full-electric mode, and brings a blended efficiency figure of around 46 mpg‑e, according to WLTP ratings.
Refined Updates to a Grand Touring Icon
Bentley’s approach is refresh, not revolution. The Continental GT keeps its sleek fastback silhouette, but now sports single LED headlights, a nod to the Bacalar’s styling, and reworked front fascia for a stronger presence . The rest of the sheetmetal remains distinctly Continental—muscular haunches, low roofline, that expansive grille still there, subtly sharpened.
Inside, Bentley’s craftsmanship remains the car’s core. The rotating screen, the veneer surfaces, the stitch quality—they’re still the markers of how this car transports you, not just moves you.
On the Road, Still a Bentley
Throw the Continental GT into a corner and its weight vanishes—thanks to Bentley’s Performance Active Chassis, 48-volt anti-roll system, adaptive air springs, torque-vectoring AWD, and rear steering working together . Despite tipping over 2.4 tons, it feels composed, with a gentleness Bentley loyalists expect.
In the standard non‑Speed variant, power drops to 680 PS, but the delivery remains smooth, the ride supple, and the connection through the wheel distinctly Bentley.
