2024 Continental GT Speed – BY24 BML
The fourth generation Continental GT Speed followed in the 21-year tradition of the Continental GT family by redefining the ultimate blend of supercar performance, handcrafted luxury and everyday usability. It introduced an all-new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain, together with new design language and the latest generation electrical architecture.
Daily Supercar Performance
A comprehensive exterior and interior redesign with clean modern detailing follow the new design DNA established by the coachbuilt Bentley Bacalar and Batur. Outstanding performance is brought by an all-new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain with 782 PS and 1,000 Nm, from a 4.0-litre V8 working in tandem with a 190 PS electric motor. 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds is the result, with the benefit of 50 miles (81 km) of usable electric-only range (on the EU drive cycle) and a total range of 534 miles (859 km) – creating an everyday supercar.
A completely new 400-volt electrical architecture enables the most advanced suite of powertrain technology to be offered by a luxury automotive brand today, delivering emissions of 29 g/km of CO2 and an electric range of 50 miles / 81 km on the WLTP drive cycle
A New Design
The new exterior continues the design revolution for Bentley’s future journey, with the biggest revision to the face of the Continental GT in two decades, and the first mainstream Bentley with single headlamps since the 1950s. World-leading Bentley interior cabin design, materials, quality, and craftsmanship continue with the introduction of further wellness seat technology, new air ionisation, three-dimensional leather textures, new modern quilting, and technical finishes such as new dark chrome.
The Heritage Collection Example
BY24 BML is the very first series production fourth-generation Continental GT Speed. It was produced as the leading car off the line when production began in Q3 2024, and joined the UK press fleet before transferring to the Heritage Collection. It joins a Continental GT lineage that starts with the very first production example from 2003, and now spans four generations of the world’s best luxury grand tourer.
