"The 2026 Continental GT makes its competitive case on a winter-wonderland drive in New York, dominating dicey roads with all-wheel-drive, rear-axle steering and the thundering hooves of its 4.0-liter V-8. The twin-turbo engine makes 512 horsepower, with an additional 188 from an electric motor linked to an eight-speed, dual-clutch transmission. The system's combined 671 horsepower and 686 lb-feet of torque sends the Bentley to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds."
"That's despite a hybrid-stuffed curb weight of about 5,400lbs, or closer to 5,800 in convertible GTC form. More than ever, the Continental GT is a luxury locomotive minus the rails. The outside world silently bullets by, as passengers relax in a first-class cabin that Agatha Christie would kill for."
The 2026 Continental GT swaps a hand-built W-12 for a plug-in-hybrid 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 co-developed with Porsche. The petrol engine produces 512 horsepower and pairs with an electric motor adding 188 horsepower for a combined 671 horsepower and 686 lb-feet of torque, propelling the GT to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds despite a curb weight near 5,400 pounds. GT Speed and Mulliner variants boost output to 771 horsepower and 738 lb-feet, enabling a 3.1-second 0-60 sprint and 208-mph top speed. The car pairs all-wheel drive and rear-axle steering with an opulent, highly bespoke cabin and rear seats best suited for luggage.
