Bentley on Tuesday announced it will unveil its fourth-generation Continental GT Speed at 4pm BST (5pm SA time) on June 25.
The British carmaker said the fourth-generation model will be built around its new “Ultra Performance Hybrid” powertrain said to generate 575kW and 1,000Nm of torque. It also offers an electric-only driving range of up to 80km and a CO2 figure of less than 50g/km.
We can also look forward to Bentley's latest generation of chassis technology, including active all-wheel drive with torque vectoring, four-wheel steering, an electronic limited slip differential, 48V electric active anti-roll control and advanced dual-valve dampers.
Additionally, Bentley will announce the Continental GT Speed set an unofficial underwater speed record, reaching 335km/h in Norway's Ryfylke Tunnel. A film documenting this achievement will be released at the launch.
Since its debut in 2002, the Continental GT has been pivotal in Bentley's growth, driving a significant increase in sales and redefining the brand. Subsequent generations in 2010 and 2018 introduced new engines, platforms and technologies, maintaining the British carmaker's position in the luxury GT market.
