Bentley is set to debut its fourth-generation Continental GT Speed in the United States during Monterey Car Week, specifically at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. This model will feature bespoke elements created by Mulliner, Bentley’s personalization and coachbuilding division. Mulliner, known for its custom work on various Bentley models, has also crafted the Blower and Speed Six Continuation Series, as well as limited editions like the Bacalar and Batur.
The new Continental GT Speed will be available with personalized options through Mulliner’s Personal Commissioning Guide, allowing for extensive customization beyond the standard options list. One example of this customization is an orange-themed GT Speed, which will be showcased at Monterey Car Week. This model features Orange Flame Satin paint, gloss black exterior accents, and 22-inch ten-spoke wheels. The interior combines Gravity Grey and Brunel leathers with orange accents, including Diamond Quilted seats and custom fascias.
In addition to the debut of the GT Speed, Bentley is bringing over 30 vehicles to North America for a dealer tour and customer events. The new GT Speed is equipped with an Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain, which includes a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine paired with an electric motor and a 25.9 kWh battery. This combination allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and achieve a top speed of 208 mph, with a total range of over 500 miles.
Bentley’s presence at Monterey Car Week will also feature the Speed Six Continuation Series and a restored 1961 S2 Drophead Coupe. These models will be highlighted during various events throughout the week, including the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and Bentley’s Signature Party at the Beach & Tennis Club.
The fourth-generation Continental GT Speed continues Bentley’s tradition of blending supercar performance with handcrafted luxury. This model introduces an all-new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain and a redesigned chassis system, providing improved ride comfort and handling. The new design also marks a significant evolution in Bentley’s exterior and interior styling, incorporating modern technology and advanced features.
Production of both coupe and convertible models will begin at Bentley’s factory in Crewe, England, with deliveries expected to start in Q4.
