Launched: 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed – From RM3.12 Million*

Making landfall in Malaysia earlier this month is the new and now electrified fourth-gen Bentley Continental GT Speed.

The new fourth generation Bentley Continental GT Speed has made landfall in Malaysia earlier this month. It is now open for viewing and commissioning for keen prospects at the Bentley Kuala Lumpur (Wearnes Quest Sdn Bhd) showroom located wihtin the base of the Etiqa Twins Towers, KL.

Loyal Carz.com.my followers will know by now that we’ve covered how the Crewe’s signature GT coupe has evolved in its latest iteration to ditch its past signature 6.0-litre W12 twin-turbo heart for a new plug-in hybrid (PHEV) replacement.

Under the hood, the new Conti GT harnesses a new super-PHEV setup featuring a 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo at its base, as well as an e-motor and 25.9 kWh battery pack.

Called the ‘Ultra Performance Hybrid’, it sees a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol at its base, which is then augmented by an e-motor and 25.9 kWh battery pack. Altogether, this setup surpasses the previous W12 mill mentioned by outputting 782 PS and a whopping 1,000 NM.

It’s worth noting too that the output figures highlights puts this setup as Bentley’s most powerful powertrain ever devised, surpassing both the W12-powered second-gen Continental GT Supersports and the Mulliner-built Batur special.

Packing the Bentley's most powerful powertrain setup ever with 782 PS and 1,000 NM, 0-100 KM/H dashes take just 3.2 secs in the new Conti GT Speed.

Paired with an 8-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission (DCT) box and an all-wheel-drive (AWD) suite brimmed with an electronic diff, the new Conti GT Speed despatches 0-100 KM/H sprints in just 3.2 secs whilst enroute towards a claimed 332 KM/H V-max.

Moreover, added electrification brings limited all-electric driving abilities up to speeds of 140 KM/H, albeit with a limited 75% throttle application for which too. As for the battery pack, it can be plugged-in and fully re-charged in under three hours via an 11 kW on-board charger (OBC).

Notably, the PHEV system detailed also enables limited all-electric driving abilities up to 140 KM/H, albeit with throttle application no greater than 75% too.

Not only quick, this latest-gen Conti GT Speed also promises enhanced agility to match thanks to its adoption of front-rear active torque vectoring, all-wheel steering, as well as a trick new Bentley Dynamic Ride active anti-roll system primed in the chassis.

As for anchors, 420 MM front and 380 MM rear ventilated steel rotors, plus 10-piston front and quad-piston rear calipers, comes as a standard affair. Available as an optional upgrade here are larger 440 MM front and 410 MM rear Carbon-Silicon-Carbide rotors.

Not only quicker, the new Conti GT Speed also promises to be nimbler than before thanks to its chassis' enhanced suspension and electronic assists.

All of which comes on top of the chassis’ beefed-up suspension, which sees new dual-valve dampers plus dual-chamber air springs. In other words, this new Conti GT Speed promises to be both quicker and nimbler than its third-gen predecessor.

In term of visual styling, we’ve detailed this at length in our past global launch report, which you can read by clicking here. It’s safe to say that this new Conti GT Speed sports arguably sharper looks and a more eager stance versus its predecessor whilst retaining its classic GT silhouette too.
