Exterior Design and Open Top Presence
The 2026 Brabus 900 Continental GTC Speed translates Brabus’ familiar Supercar formula into an open-top grand tourer. In press imagery, the proportions of the Bentley-based convertible remain elegant and balanced, but the detailing signals a far more assertive intent. A bespoke carbon front fascia replaces the standard bumper, integrating a deep splitter and sculpted intakes designed to manage airflow to both the radiators and front brakes.
Exposed-carbon elements continue along the flanks and rear. A carbon spoiler sits at the tail, paired with a prominent diffuser that frames four carbon-sheathed titanium exhaust tips. All carbon components can be specified in either gloss or matte finishes, allowing owners to dial in subtlety or contrast. The Brabus lowering module reduces ride height by approximately 20 mm, visually tightening the stance and giving the GTC a more planted look without compromising its touring brief.
Hybrid V8 Performance and Character
Under the long bonnet sits Bentley’s 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 hybrid, comprehensively reworked by Brabus. Larger high-performance turbochargers, a flow-optimised carbon intake airbox and recalibrated engine mapping lift the combustion engine to 710 hp and 900 Nm. When combined with the standard 190 hp electric motor, total system output reaches 900 hp with a peak torque figure of 1,100 Nm.
Power is channelled through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Brabus quotes a 0–100 km/h sprint time of 2.9 seconds, while top speed for the convertible is electronically limited to 285 km/h. Despite its performance focus, the hybrid system retains meaningful electric capability, with an electric-only range of up to 80 km (EAER), giving the GTC Speed genuine urban usability alongside its long-distance credentials.
An active stainless-steel Brabus exhaust offers two distinct sound profiles, ranging from a subdued “Coming Home” mode to a more pronounced V8 soundtrack when required.
Wheels, Chassis and Dynamic Focus
Brabus equips the Continental GTC Speed with Monoblock ZM Platinum Edition wheels developed specifically for the Bentley platform. The forged and CNC-machined design uses a staggered 22-inch setup—10J front and 11.5J rear—wrapped in high-performance tyres that fill the arches convincingly.
Combined with the lowered suspension, the wheel and tyre package improves lateral grip and stability while maintaining ride comfort appropriate for a luxury convertible. The changes sharpen responses rather than fundamentally altering the Continental’s relaxed grand touring nature.
Masterpiece Interior and Bespoke Finish
Inside, the GTC Speed receives a full Brabus Masterpiece interior. The cabin shown in the release is trimmed in rich “Nocturne Brown” leather, stitched and perforated in the brand’s signature Shell quilting pattern. Carbon trim spans the dashboard and centre console, complemented by anodised aluminium pedals and illuminated Brabus entry sills.
Attention to detail extends to the luggage compartment, which is finished to match the cabin materials. As with all Brabus Masterpiece builds, customers can specify colours, materials and trim combinations to a near-unlimited degree.
Positioning in the Ultra Luxury Segment
Priced at €538,800 before tax, the Brabus 900 Continental GTC Speed occupies a rare niche. It is neither a factory Bentley derivative nor a stripped-back tuner conversion. Instead, it stands as an open-top hybrid super GT that blends British design with German engineering precision. For buyers seeking exclusivity, performance and bespoke craftsmanship in a convertible format, its appeal is immediate.
