"From Ultimate Luxury To Intense Performance" Bentley "The New Continental GT S"

Bentley Motors has unveiled The New Continental GT S and The New Continental GTC S, which were inspired by the limited-edition performance model Supersports.

The GT·GTC S models combine an advanced hybrid powertrain with the chassis control technology from the Continental GT Speed, forming a lineup for customers who prioritize performance. The fourth-generation Continental GT S is the fastest and most powerful Bentley ever to wear the S badge, and it was created based on the same driver-focused philosophy as the legendary Supersports.

Equipped with a High Performance Hybrid powertrain, the system delivers a maximum output of 680 horsepower (PS) and a maximum system torque of 94.8kg.m. This is 130 horsepower more than the previous Continental GT S, and when maximum performance is deployed, it sprints from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 306km/h.

The High Performance Hybrid system outperforms the previous-generation W12 Speed powertrain in every respect, including power output, torque, and overall performance, and it can drive up to 80km (WLTP standard) in pure electric mode.

In particular, the Bentley Performance Active Chassis, which is only fitted to the Continental GT Speed and Mulliner models, has been applied. It consists of an active AWD system, twin-valve dampers, torque vectoring through front/rear and left/right torque distribution, the 48V Bentley Dynamic Ride electronically controlled anti-roll system, and next-generation ESC control software.

For the first time in the history of the Continental GT S, electronically controlled all-wheel steering and an eLSD are applied. This is the most advanced and driver-focused system offered by Bentley, and it has been engineered to deliver the ultimate sports feel and driving performance.

The interior achieves a unique visual identity through meticulous detailing. The fluted seats exclusive to the S models and the two-tone interior split design create a driving environment focused on performance, while key touchpoints such as the steering wheel, gear lever, seats, and door inserts are finished in the soft Dinamica material.

Bentley Motors has completed the full Continental GT lineup by adding The New Continental GT S alongside the Continental GT Mulliner, which embodies the pinnacle of luxury; the Continental GT Speed, which pursues ultimate performance; and the Continental GT Azure, which offers supreme comfort and elegance. The New Continental GT·GTC S will also be officially launched in the Korean market. The timing of local deliveries and pricing in Korea have not yet been determined.
