Bentley has announced the European debut of its new Continental GT Speed. The fourth-generation model makes the most powerful, road-going Bentley to date.

Leading the charge for the model is a combined V8 engine and a plug-in 25.9 kWh battery, which yields 0-100 km/h (about 0-62 mph) in 3.2 seconds alongside a top speed of 335 km/h (about 208 mph). Impressively, the car harbors 782 hp with 737 lb-ft of torque, which is a history marker for Bentley. Additionally, the car boasts a 782 PS, 1000 NM “Ultra Performance Hybrid” powertrain with an 81 km (about 50 miles) electric-only range.

Other key performance specifications include an active all-wheel drive, all-wheel string, electronic limited-slip differential and Bentley Dynamic Ride. Committed to luxury, the four-seat interior continues the elegance with new air isolation, textured leather upholstery and updated quilting.

“The new Concours of Elegance at Lake Tegernsee in Bavaria offers the perfect environment to celebrate the European debut of the definitive Grand Tourer,” said the Head of Germany at Bentley Motors Europe, Marco van Aalten. “The new Continental GT Speed in Convertible form will perfectly sit alongside the finest in jewelry, fashion and exclusive experiences.”

The new Bentley Continental GT Speed is set to make its European debut at Concours of Elegance in Tegernsee, Germany from July 26-27.
