The 2025 Bentley Continental GT Boasts 771 Horsepower

Bentley recently said farewell to the old Continental GT with the final pure V-8 model, the Edition 8. Just a week later, the British luxury brand is previewing its new model, which appears to be a facelifted version of the car launched in 2017.

Nevertheless, the company has released early images and technical specifications of the "new" Continental. As anticipated, the next Continental GT will feature Bentley's "Ultra Performance Hybrid" system centered around a V-8 engine. The combination of the combustion engine and electric motor delivers a total of 771 horsepower and a massive 738 pound-feet of torque. These figures surpass the output of the W-12 in the Batur, which produces 740 hp and 737 lb-ft.

The unspecified battery pack will provide enough power for 50 miles of range in the WLTP cycle, with a slightly lower range expected in the EPA test. Bentley's most powerful production car to date will feature four-wheel steering and all-wheel drive with torque vectoring. Additional enhancements include dual-valve dampers, a limited-slip differential, and 48-volt electric anti-roll technology. These upgrades will make the new Continental GT the "most dynamically capable Bentley road car in the company's 105-year history."

Performance numbers haven't been revealed yet, but it could be even faster than the old Continental GT Speed. The discontinued W-12-powered coupe took three and a half seconds to reach 60 mph from a standstill and had a top speed of 208 mph. Production of the twin-turbo 6.0-liter engine is ending with the final examples of the ultra-exclusive Batur. If a new Continental GT Speed is introduced in the future, it won't have twelve cylinders.

Although the weight isn't specified, it's logical to assume it will be heavier than the old V-8 model due to the addition of hybrid components. The previous model weighed nearly 4,800 pounds, so it wouldn't be surprising if the new model surpasses 5,000 pounds like the old W-12. However, this isn't a major concern since the Continental GT is designed as a luxurious cruiser rather than a nimble sports car.

The next-generation Continental GT will debut in June as a coupe, with the convertible version likely to follow shortly after.
