The 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed First Edition represents a fundamental reimagining of the Grand Tourer concept, marking the brand’s transition to the Ultra Performance Hybrid architecture.
This model focuses on the synergy between electrified technologies and traditional performance, delivering unprecedented torque while maintaining benchmark comfort and significantly improving dynamic performance.
The powertrain is based on a hybrid system that combines a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 gasoline engine with a powerful electric motor integrated into the transmission.
The system’s total output reaches a record 782 hp for the brand’s production models, with peak torque of 1,000 Nm.
Engineers have thoroughly optimized the internal combustion engine’s performance, which, combined with the electric motor’s instantaneous response, eliminates turbo lag and delivers linear power across the entire rpm range.
Unlocking the engine’s potential is the job of an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, adapted for high loads.
The all-wheel-drive system with intelligent torque distribution and an electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD) on the rear axle ensures efficient power transfer to the road surface.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 3.2 seconds, and the top speed is limited to 335 km/h, cementing the model’s status as one of the fastest four-seaters in its class.
The exterior of the 2025 model features a redesigned front end with single matrix headlights—a design first seen in decades—and a more aggressive bumper architecture.
The aerodynamic body kit and active rear spoiler are optimized to generate the necessary downforce at high speeds.
The car is equipped with 22-inch forged wheels featuring a unique Speed design and a reinforced braking system that ensures consistent deceleration under intense loads.
The First Edition interior showcases the highest level of personalization, including exclusive series badges, contrast stitching, and the use of premium leather with a “diamond-in-diamond” pattern.
The trim features natural veneer and open-pore carbon fiber.
The equipment includes the Bentley Rotating Display and a Naim audio system, underscoring the model’s technological status.
