Launch of the New Bentley Continental GT S and GT Convertible S

29 Jan Launch of the New Bentley Continental GT S and GT Convertible S

(Oilandgaspress) -] Bentley launched the new Continental GT S and GTC S, inspired by the limited edition Supersports and extending the breadth of choice in the Continental line-up. Combining dramatic visual presence with the latest hybrid powertrain and the Continental GT Speed’s chassis technology, the S models are aimed squarely at the performance-focused driver. The fourth generation Continental GT S models are the fastest and most powerful yet to carry the S badge, and are borne from the same driver-centric mantra as the Supersports.

At 680 PS and 930 Nm, the new S models’ High Performance Hybrid powertrain is 130 PS more powerful than that of the previous generation GT S. Fully deployed it delivers searing acceleration, covering 0-60mph in just 3.3 seconds (0-100km/h in 3.5s) and powering on to a top speed of 190mph, accompanied all the while by the thrilling soundtrack of a sports exhaust that accentuates the 4.0-litre V8’s crossplane beat. A marvel of advanced powertrain engineering, the High Performance Hybrid even outperforms the previous generation’s W12 Speed powertrain on all power, torque and performance parameters – whilst also being capable of up to 50 miles / 80 km in pure electric mode.

Complementing this advanced powertrain is a chassis set up that was previously only available with the GT Speed and GT Mulliner models, featuring the Bentley Performance Active Chassis. This includes Active All Wheel Drive, twin valve dampers, torque vectoring (front to rear and across the axles), the 48V Bentley Dynamic Ride active anti roll system, a new generation of ESC control software and for the first time on a Continental GT S, an electronic limited slip differential and all-wheel steering. This is Bentley’s most advanced and driver-focused AWD chassis setup, designed to deliver maximum sporting appeal and ability.
