The 2025 Continental GT Speed represents a bold pivot for Bentley, swapping the iconic W12 for a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 PHEV producing a staggering 771 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque. The result is Bentley's most powerful production car ever, sprinting to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds while offering 50 miles of electric-only range for guilt-free city cruising. Build quality remains impeccable with a cabin that is a masterclass in leather, wood, and metal craftsmanship, while the 8-speed DCT delivers seamless shifts whether wafting or attacking. As a grand tourer, it excels: the AWD system inspires confidence in all conditions, and refinement at highway speeds is extraordinary. The trade-offs? At $305,000, it demands serious commitment, and the added hybrid weight is noticeable in tight corners compared to the outgoing W12. The PHEV system also adds complexity to what was once a beautifully simple formula. Best suited for buyers who want ultra-luxury performance with a nod toward electrification.
