PERFORMANCE

THE SOUL OF THE NEW CONTINENTAL GT IS THE LATEST EVOLUTION OF BENTLEY’S ACCLAIMED 12-CYLINDER, 6-LITRE POWER UNIT, NOW ENGINEERED TO PROVIDE GREATER SUPERCAR PERFORMANCE.

With increases in power, torque and fuel efficiency; the Continental GT’s engine is renowned as one of the most technologically advanced of its kind. Designed in a unique ‘W’ configuration, it is the most compact 12-cylinder engine in the world.

Capable of running on the latest environmentally sustainable bio-fuels thanks to its advanced FlexFuel technology, allowing it to run seamlessly on gasoline, bioethanol (E85) or any combination of the two.

With a 40:60 (front:rear) split power ratio, the new Continental GT feels even more poised for action and more controllable cornering.

The new Continental GT is even faster than its predecessor. With its power output raised to an immense 575PS (567bhp/423kW) and 700Nm (516lb ft) of torque. In tandem with a new six-speed Quickshift transmission, gear change times are reduced by 50 per cent, it will launch from standstill to 60mph in just 4.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 198mph (318km/h).
