With this fourth generation of the modern two-door Bentley, we wanted to approach photography differently to highlight its muscular yet relaxed design. The bold aesthetics perfectly complement the exclusive features of the Continental GT Speed First Edition, including unique exterior badges, tread plates, and exquisite embroidery. Thanks to freezing rain and snow, we also had the chance to put its Active All-Wheel Drive and all-wheel steering systems to the test, in real-world weather conditions.

For 2025, the Continental GT underwent exterior and interior redesigns, preserving the iconic GT silhouette while embracing a modern, contemporary edge. Under the hood, a 4.0-litre V8 engine works harmoniously with a 190 PS electric motor, delivering astounding performance: 0-60 mph in just 3.1 seconds. This plug-in hybrid system also offers an impressive 50 miles of electric-only range and a combined total range, of 534 miles. Innovative technology further elevates the driving experience, with advanced driver assistance systems, state-of-the-art infotainment, and seamless connected car services.

The design team has streamlined the exterior for a cleaner, more muscular aesthetic. Black-and-white photography truly captures the uninterrupted surface lines and refined shape. From the integrated body kit to the striking single front headlamps—arguably the most significant design evolution in two decades for the Continental GT.  Every detail feels modern and cohesive. The look is completed with eye-catching, new 22″ wheels that enhance its powerful stance.

Step inside the First Edition, and you’ll find one of the most exquisitely executed interiors in the automotive world. Crafted at Bentley’s carbon-neutral factory in Crewe, England, the cabin reflects the pinnacle of luxury and craftsmanship. The precision quilt pattern, inspired by modern fashion design, adorns the seats and doors. With sculpted quilting, fading perforations, and detailed embroidery, the interior creates a cocoon of comfort and sophistication for any extraordinary journey.

For audiophiles, the Naim 2,200 W, 18-speaker sound system is a revelation. Featuring Active Bass Transducers built into the front seats and eight sound modes, it delivers an unparalleled audio experience. And yes, the iconic Bentley Rotating Display remains a standout feature. This three-sided masterpiece includes a 12.3″ high-definition screen, elegant analog dials, and a seamlessly handcrafted veneer—all switchable at the touch of a button.

No matter the weather, the Continental GT Speed First Edition offers extreme performance and effortless electric luxury. This unforgettable driving experience is enhanced by cutting-edge technology and innovative design, ensuring every journey is as seamless as it is thrilling.
