PERFORMANCE
Power meets agility
Every Continental GT offers truly exceptional performance. The W12 engine at the heart of the Continental GT Speed, and also available on the Continental GT Mulliner, delivers pure power and exceptional responsiveness, with the unique calibration and advanced chassis systems of the GT Speed heightening the feeling of sheer excitement.
The lively V8 engine that powers the Continental GT V8 can also be selected for the Continental GT Mulliner, putting breathtaking agility and dynamism in your hands. As you accelerate, you hear – and feel - the distinctive and emotive V8 rumble, making the experience even more invigorating.
Both powertrains have been positioned low down and towards the rear of the engine bay to drop the centre of gravity, optimising weight distribution and, in doing so, enhancing handling to maximise the pleasure of the drive.
Enhanced control
Whichever engine you choose, the Continental GT’s Active All-Wheel Drive system allows you to harness its power for maximum enjoyment. By optimising power distribution across both axles whenever and wherever it’s needed, you’re guaranteed exhilarating levels of acceleration, whatever the road conditions.
The Continental GT is fine-tuned for your journey with innovative features that let you make the most of its powerful potential without compromising on comfort – from the Pirelli Noise Cancellation System designed to reduce road noise, to adaptive air suspension with three chamber technology for added handling and control.
Tuned to perfection
The electric, active roll control system, Bentley Dynamic Ride, comes as standard on the Continental GT Speed* and Continental GT Mulliner*. This technological innovation has been specially developed to increase stability and handling when entering corners at speed. By providing instant, variable resistance, or alternatively being able to effectively decouple the wheels on each end of the axle as required, comfort and control are always maintained, no matter what you demand of the car. And the results will always be thrilling.
Four driving modes have been specially configured to elevate comfort, performance and control further. Comfort mode optimises the drivetrain and chassis for luxurious cruising, while Sport ensures the car’s power and handling are instantly responsive – a calibration that’s been enhanced further still in the Continental GT Speed to provide supreme excitement at all times. Bentley mode provides the ultimate balance of both, while Custom gives you the freedom to save your own combination of settings.

DESIGN
Art in motion
The bold exterior of the Continental GT range exudes excitement, the sculpted body hinting at a sense of movement, even when stationary. A long bonnet and short front overhang create the ideal grand tourer proportions, while a sweeping power line guides the eye along the stunning profile to the muscular rear haunch and down to the striking wheels below.
The new Continental GT Speed offers a dramatic interpretation of this irresistible design, with a bold forged 22” Speed wheel and Dark Tint Grille. With the Mulliner Driving Specification coming as standard, extra touches such as diamond-in-diamond quilting, sports pedals and Jewel Fuel and Oil Filler Caps demonstrate that no opportunity has been missed to create an exquisite and unique style.
The Continental GT Mulliner meanwhile, adds a world of exquisite detail, including a unique Double Diamond grille and 22” Mulliner wheels with a duotone finish.
Extraordinary inside
Inside the cabin, the finest materials create a luxurious, comfortable and spacious environment for all occupants. An uninterrupted flow of wood, available as a single veneer or as Dual Veneers by Mulliner, encompasses driver and passengers, reflecting the symmetry of the Bentley ‘Wings’ as it radiates out from the central fascia – or you can replace the wood with a contemporary technical finish.
This exceptional grand tourer blends striking design with effortless practicality. The sumptuous seats, handcrafted with Fine Nappa leather, are as comfortable as they are elegant, with the generous cabin providing a spacious environment in both front and rear – while the sizeable boot can comfortably accommodate two sets of golf bags or luggage for a long weekend break.
A unique Colour Split in a Hide and Alcantara mix accentuates the performance feel of the Continental GT Speed. The refined interior of the Continental GT Mulliner, meanwhile, includes a Diamond Milled Technical Finish and an exclusive brushed silver Breitling for Mulliner Clock – with the GT Mulliner Convertible also offering an exclusive Tonneau cover quilting.
A distinctive aesthetic
The optional Blackline Specification adds an aggressive, formidable aesthetic to the Continental GT’s immutable presence. It replaces all of the exterior body brightware with high gloss black painted trim – excluding the Bentley Wing badges and rear lettering– and includes black radiator matrix grille and surround, along with black exhaust pipes and more.
Coupé or Convertible?
The choice is yours with the Continental GT range. The coupé enjoys a sleek grand tourer aesthetic – a look that can be enhanced with an optional integrated fixed glass roof. This beautiful piece of engineering and craftsmanship creates an even greater connection with your environment.
Meanwhile, the Continental GT Convertible – in Speed, V8 or Mulliner models – provides an elegant open-top expression of this thrilling grand tourer with an innovative four-layer roof, along with neck warmers, seat coolers and heated arm rests that cater for any conditions. You can choose one of seven extraordinary hood colours to crown your car, including Black, Dark Grey Metallic and Tweed.
TECHNOLOGY
Assisting & enhancing
A comprehensive suite of assistance systems, available across the Continental GT range, add new levels of control and safety, allowing you to enjoy every moment of your journey in this exceptional grand tourer.
Active Lane Assist provides gentle steering assistance should you cross any lane boundaries, while Blind Spot Warnng alerts you to any hazards in hard-to-see areas around your car. If you’re travelling across vast plains or heading out on a long motorway drive, the Touring Specification provides essential features such as the innovative Night Vision, which utilises infrared technology to see beyond the reach of the headlamps.
In urban environments, the City Specification, which comes as standard, uses a 360º Top View Camera to aid navigation in busy streets, while a variety of intelligent features, including Integrated Traffic Sign Recognition, display useful information such as speed limits on the optional Head-Up Display, right where you need it.
Intelligent LED Matrix beam headlamps, which consist of 55 individually controlled LEDs, allow the main beam to be used continuously, with no intervention needed. They’re automatically optimised for different driving conditions so, whether you’re driving on the open road or through the city at night, you can enjoy maximum visibility.
The Bentley rotating display
Breathtaking craft and innovative technology seamlessly combine in the Bentley Rotating Display. When the engine roars to life, a veneered section of the fascia physically rotates to reveal the 12.3” high resolution touchscreen, which can be customised to show the information you desire. Then, to simply disconnect from the outside world, the display can rotate once more to show three analogue dials that feature polished chrome bezels – a hint of Bentley’s heritage and classic design.
Stay connected
You can choose to escape on the open road or stay connected with the wider world thanks to a suite of My Bentley Connected Car services* and the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot.
With Apple CarPlay functionality, you can connect your personal devices to the infotainment system and set the soundtrack to your journey, while real-time traffic information adds the latest traffic data into the navigation system.
