Bentley Unveils New Continental GT S With 680PS Power

Crewe, England, 3 Feb 2026 (GDM) – Bentley Motors on Tuesday unveiled the new Continental GT S and GT Convertible S, blending dramatic visual presence with advanced hybrid performance for the most powerful S models yet.

Inspired by the limited-edition Supersports, the latest GT S range features a High Performance Hybrid powertrain delivering 680 PS and 930 Nm – 130 PS and 160 Nm more than the previous generation – enabling 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h). The 4.0-litre V8 sports exhaust produces a distinctive crossplane sound, while the powertrain allows up to 50 miles (80 km) of pure electric driving.

The S models also incorporate Bentley Performance Active Chassis technology, previously exclusive to the GT Speed and GT Mulliner. It features all-wheel drive, torque vectoring, a 48V active anti-roll system, electronic limited slip differential, all-wheel steering, and advanced ESC software, giving drivers precise control across dynamic road and track conditions.

Visually, the S specification is marked by the Blackline exterior package with gloss black grilles, dark Bentley wings, full LED Precision headlamps, 22-inch alloy wheels, and dark-tint taillights. The interior showcases a unique two-tone upholstery, Dinamica inserts, fluted seats, and Piano Black veneer, with optional high-gloss carbon fibre and leather finishes.

“From wellness-focused Azure to the high-performance GT Speed, Bentley offers tailored grand touring experiences. The new S models provide a distinctive combination of style, power and driving enjoyment,” the company said.

Bentley, founded in 1919 and based in Crewe, is part of the Volkswagen Group and crafts five bespoke models, combining luxury craftsmanship with engineering expertise. The company is pursuing an all-electric future under its Beyond100+ strategy.
