The Bentley Continental GT remains the definitive luxury grand tourer, now entering a new era with its "Ultra Performance Hybrid" powertrain. This flagship system pairs a potent V8 engine with an advanced electric motor to generate a massive 771 brake horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque. This setup allows the coupe to sprint from 0-100 kmph in a blistering 3.2 seconds, rivaling many mid-engine supercars while maintaining the effortless, "wafting" power delivery that Bentley is famous for. For those preferring traditional combustion, the iconic 6.0-liter W12 engine in the Speed and Mulliner variants continues to offer a monumental 650 bhp and unparalleled mechanical smoothness.
All variants utilize an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission that provides rapid, seamless shifts, essential for both spirited mountain drives and relaxed highway cruising. The Active All-Wheel Drive system is biased toward the rear to maintain a sporty feel but can instantly shift torque to the front wheels when traction is compromised. This versatility is particularly valuable for Indian owners, ensuring the car remains composed on rain-slicked city streets or dusty secondary roads. The hybrid variant further adds an electric-only driving mode, allowing for near-silent urban commutes for up to 80 kilometers.
