Bentley Announces Continental GT Speed for Saudi Arabia

SAUDI ARABIA - The fourth-generation Continental GT Speed has witnessed radical changes on the outside and comes with significant upgrades in the powertrain and the cabin.

Overview

The British supercar brand Bentley has officially announced the arrival of the much-awaited Continental GT Speed Coupe for the Saudi Arabian market. The car will be officially launched in January 2025.

Powertrain and Performance

The Continental GT Speed boasts unparalleled performance, thanks to its 782 PS and 1000Nm Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain. The powerful combination of a 4.0-litre V8 engine and a 190PS electric motor enables drivers to achieve a blistering 0-60 mph in just 3.1 seconds, while also offering an impressive 50 miles (81 km) in pure electric mode. 

This perfect mixture of power and eco-friendliness makes the Continental GT Speed a standout grand tourer, delivering incredible performance and sustainability in a single package. The Continental GT Speed features a cutting-edge Performance Active Chassis, equipped with advanced technologies such as Active All-Wheel Drive, all-wheel steering, and an electronically-limited slip differential. 

This sophisticated system proficiently balances handling, traction, and control, while preserving the legendary ride comfort that defines Bentley. With a perfectly balanced 50:50 weight distribution, the result is a driving experience that is at once agile and refined, making the latest Continental GT the most versatile and accomplished version yet.

Exterior Styling

The new Continental GT Speed makes a bold statement with its striking new headlamp design, evoking the fierce gaze of a tiger poised for action. Departing from the traditional dual-lamp setup, Bentley has opted for a sleek, single oval headlamp on each side, accentuated by a sharp, angular edge.

The rear of the car is equally impressive, with new ‘slashed oval' taillights featuring smoked lenses, mirroring the dark-tinted exterior accents that are a hallmark of the Speed model. The car's athletic stance is further emphasized by the new body-coloured Styling Specification, sports side sills, and bold Speed wheels. 

The reworked grille and sports exhaust finisher add to its unique, head-turning appearance, setting it apart from any other car on the road.

Interior and Comfort

The interiors of the Continental GT Speed mean business, cementing Bentley's reputation for exceptional craftsmanship. The revamped cabin boasts an array of luxurious features, including innovative wellness seats, rich three-dimensional leather finishes, and advanced air purification systems, all designed to create an unparalleled sense of comfort and relaxation. 

Every detail, from the elegant Dark Chrome accents to the bespoke interior color palette, reflects Bentley's unwavering commitment to excellence. Whether it's the intricate quilting or the premium Naim audio system, every element of the Continental GT's cabin has been carefully crafted to deliver the ultimate driving experience.

Safety

With multiple airbags onboard, the Continental GT is equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems, designed to enhance both urban and highway driving experiences. 

For Urban Driving: The City Specification package offers a range of convenient features such as Traffic Sign Recognition, Park Assist, and a Top View Camera, making navigation through crowded streets easier and safer. 

Touring Specification: The package has been tailor-made for open-road driving, featuring cutting-edge technologies like a Head-Up Display, Night Vision Camera, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Assist, allowing you to fully enjoy the thrill of the drive while maintaining a high level of safety and control.

The new Continental GT Speed will be meticulously hand-crafted at Bentley's renowned manufacturing facility in Crewe, England, providing customers with a truly unique and personalized experience. As production and deliveries commence globally, this exceptional grand tourer is poised to revolutionize the driving experience for customers worldwide, with its eagerly anticipated launch scheduled for January 2025.
