This is the 2025 Bentley Continental GT and it’s a fully redesigned version of Bentley’s “entry level” car. The amazing W12 engine is gone, replaced by a V8 with 770 horsepower. Today I’m reviewing this new Continental GT and I’ll show you the many quirks and features. I’m also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it’s like to drive.

Inspired by the steely gaze of a tiger as it prepares to strike, the outline of the single, oval lamps is countered by the sharp edge of their new brows. The tail-lamps, meanwhile, feature smoke-effect lenses.
The exterior detailing has been treated with a dark tint, from the matrix grille at the front to the sports exhaust finisher at the rear, while sport sills and a new, body-coloured Styling Specification make the car appear wider, lower and closer to the road, for a relaxed yet muscular stance.

The GT’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 conspires with a 188-hp, 332-lb-ft permanent-magnet electric motor situated inside the housing of its eight-speed dual-clutch transmission to produce that 771 total horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque all in. The Continental GT Speed interior offers comfortable seats with postural adjust and seat auto climate, a Bentley Rotating Display, touring specification, and the Naim for Bentley audio system.
