The new, fourth-generation Continental GT Speed made its global public debut today – both on the Hillclimb and in a unique ‘underwater’ display – supporting this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed and its theme of “Horseless to Hybrid – Revolutions in Power”.

The new Continental GT Speed – shown at Goodwood in both coupe and convertible versions – becomes the most powerful road-going Bentley ever created. The new grand tourer is powered by an all-new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain with 782 PS and 1,000 Nm, achieving more horsepower and more torque than the outgoing W12, but with a significant drop in CO₂ を29 g/km*に引き上げた。

パワートレインの性能は、新型2チャンバーエアスプリングと新型デュアルバルブダンパー、Bentleyダイナミックライド（48Vアクティブアンチロールコントロール）、eLSD、トルクベクタリングを組み合わせた新型シャシーシステムとマッチしています。信じられないようなボディコントロールとContinental GT史上最高の乗り心地は、49:51というContinental GT史上初のリアに偏った重量配分によって支えられています。

新しいエクステリアは、Continental GTのフェイスを過去20年間で最も大きく変更し、1950年代以来初めてシングルヘッドランプを採用したメインストリームのBentleyとなるなど、Bentleyの未来に向けたデザイン革命を続けている。

World-leading Bentley interior cabin design, materials, quality, and craftsmanship continue with the introduction of further wellness seat technology, new air ionization, three-dimensional leather textures, new modern quilting, and technical finishes such as new dark chrome.

Along with the two examples of the new Continental GT Speed that will be on the Hill Climb at Goodwood, a third car is on display in a unique way near the Kinrara Enclosure to celebrate the unofficial ‘Underwater Speed Record’ – believed to be the fastest a car has ever travelled through a tunnel, achieving 208 mph / 335 km/h.

The ‘FOShtank’ is a bespoke version of the glass ‘Toy Box’ display units that Bentley utilizes across it’s Dream Factory campus in Crewe, England, but modified to include a custom-built fish tank in a tongue-in-cheek take on the underwater theme.
