2025 Bentley Continental GT Gallery: Get A Closer Look at the New Era of Grand Touring In Pictures
From its reworked front fascia to the hybrid-powered muscle under the hood, the 2025 Bentley Continental GT is all about refinement with an edge. In this gallery, we take a closer look at the details that make the latest model stand out. 1 Source: Kyle Edward Bentley gives the Continental GT a fresh look for 2025, dialing in style with sharper lines, a lower stance, and a front end that mixes elegance with raw muscle. 2 Source: Kyle Edward The GT's iconic Flying B badging has been a symbol of hand-built luxury and performance since 1919. 3 Source: Kyle Edward The 'Speed' script on the fender adds just the right amount of attitude to its otherwise polished look, hinting at the car's performance prowess. 4 Source: Kyle Edward Pop the hood on the Continental GT and you'll find a reworked 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with a plug-in hybrid system, delivering a whopping 771 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. It's all tucked beneath a sculpted engine cover and reinforced with a sleek aluminum strut brace. 5 Source: Kyle Edward Those crystal-cut LED matrix headlights on the Continental GT are inspired by fine-cut gemstones. They feature a 'horizontal eyebrow' and 120 individual LEDs that adapt to traffic, letting you use full beams without blinding oncoming drivers. 6 Source: Kyle Edward The rear of the 2025 Continental GT features sharp LED taillights and oval quad exhaust tips that hint at the power under the hood. It's wide, low, and looks just as serious pulling away as it does coming at you. 7 Source: Kyle Edward The cabin of the 2025 Continental GT doesn't hold back. Its steering wheel alone mixes leather, Alcantara, contrast stitching, and a pop of orange that ties into the dash. 8 Source: Kyle Edward An elegant analog clock sits between chrome vents as part of the GT's signature display. The infotainment screen above switches from touchscreen to dials to wood veneer at the push of a button, blending timeless charm with modern tech. 9 Source: Kyle Edward The dash blends a sharp digital display with carbon fiber, contrast stitching, ambient lighting, and precision metalwork. It's 'loud' in the best way, without being over the top. 10 Source: Kyle Edward The GT's diamond-quilted leather seats bring serious craftsmanship, but it's the 'Speed' embroidery, contrast piping, and built-in neck warmers that remind you this cabin is built for open-air performance and all-season comfort.

Bentley Continental GT Prototype Heralds The Return of the Supersports
When one thinks of the Flying B's contemporary wares, there's never any shortage of horsepower, but the racing pedigree that made the brand so successful at the start of the 20th century is a second thought to supreme serenity. Indeed, a Bentley is an ultra-luxurious machine first and foremost, but even among buyers who can tell what forest their wood trim came from just by the grain, there is always a small group of individuals who are bored by opulence alone, seeking to push the limits of performance beyond what their peers think is reasonable. In the 1920s, the Bentley Boys personified this attitude of extremism. In the 2020s, those who choose to get behind the wheel of the monster Bentley is now testing at the Nürburgring will be stealing stares and grabbing glances. Based on the Continental GT Speed, this prototype captured by our spies is preparing to become the most hardcore Bentley yet. Unlike the regular GT Speed, this prototype has a large spoiler on the trunk and aggressive canards on the front end, and such aggressive bodywork has previously characterized the Supersports. Until the 2017 Supersports, the aesthetic changes were always subtle, but Bentley went hardcore with a vented hood, more aggressive front and rear ends, and a sizable wing on the trunk. It's unclear if this prototype will swap its spoiler for a wing at a later stage, but then again, this may not even be the most aggressive Continental in the Bentley pipeline; previous Supersports variants have arrived at the end of the life cycle, not near the start, so this may well be a hotter Continental, but not necessarily the hottest. That said, the sinister taillights and quad tailpipes are signature styling characteristics of the Supersports. Our spies have also floated the idea of this being named the Continental GT Speed RS. The wheels on this prototype appear to be fairly vanilla, but other sightings of this hardcore Bentley have shown a more intricate, aggressive dual-five-spoke design. Nevertheless, the Pirelli P Zero tires and large brakes suggest this won't just be an appearance package; we expect more power. The current Continental GT Speed's twin-turbo V8 hybrid delivers a combined 771 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, so a figure close to or just beyond 800 hp seems reasonable. After all, the last GT Supersports had 79 more horsepower than the car upon which it was based. As we touched on earlier, the current Continental GT Speed has only been around a little more than a year (and this is our first sighting of the sportier special edition), so we doubt this hardcore version, whatever name it bears, will be revealed before the end of the year.
