The New Continental GT is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system "Ultra Performance Hybrid" powertrain that performs supercar-class performance, allowing you to enjoy both strong performance and comfortable and relaxed daily driving, and is the ultimate luxury grand tourer that perfectly combines the artisan's hand-made interior with advanced technology.
The New Continental GT, which was officially announced in the Korean market in October last year, finally landed on the roads in Korea after receiving orders from customers and being produced through a hand-made process at the Bentley Dream Factory in Crewe, England.
The New Continental GT is also a model in which Bentley Motors Korea opens the era of electrification through ultra-performance hybrid engines in the Korean market. Bentley Motors Korea plans to start delivering customers in the third quarter of this year, starting with The New Continental GT, the sedan model "The New Flying Spur" and the convertible model "The New Continental GTC" and complete the electric grand tour lineup by the end of this year.
"We are happy to deliver The New Continental GT, which contains the essence of 'sustainable luxury' Bentley aims for, to Korean customers," said Christian Schlick, general manager of Bentley Motors Korea. "Starting with The New Continental GT, we will complete the luxury grand tour lineup within this year to provide customers with a new level of driving experience and luxury lifestyle."
The New Continental GT applies new design DNA introduced by Muliner limited-edition coachbuilt models Bacalar and Batur and reveals an intense presence on the road with a sense of proportion that inherits the heritage of the Bentley Grand Touror.
The ultra-performance hybrid powertrain on The New Continental GT is a combination of a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine that exerts 600 horsepower (PS) and an electric motor that produces 190 horsepower (PS) and emits 782 horsepower (PS) and 102.0 kg.m of system torque. This is the strongest performance in general road Bentley history, with 0-100 km/h acceleration completed in 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 335 km/h.
In addition, the plug-in hybrid system can completely turn off the engine while driving, and it can run 64km with only an electric motor on a single charge based on domestic certification. The authorized fuel efficiency is 12.5 km/L (city 11.3 km/L / high speed 14.4 km/L) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are certified as 45 g/km.
In addition to ideal weight distribution, The New Continental GT is equipped with next-generation Bentley Performance Active Chasis technology to provide ideal performance in all aspects, including performance, handling, and ride comfort. Bentley performance active chassis includes 'Bentley Dynamic Ride', 'All Wheel Steering' and eLSD, and next-generation ESC control software. In particular, the new twin-valve damper system and dual-chamber air springs independently control compression and rebound damping pressures to complete the best ride.
The interior of The New Continental GT, created by the artisans of the British crew, is decorated with top-notch materials, luxurious finishes and high-tech specifications that show the peak of luxury. It is equipped with a posture adjustment system and an automatic temperature control system that were applied to flagship models, and provides an optional high-end audio system called "Naim for Bentley" developed with British Name. In addition, it is equipped with high-tech specifications that guarantee a comfortable journey, such as the next-generation air conditioning system and the "Bentley Rotating Display," which was created with a perfect combination of craftsmanship and high-tech.
The New Continental GT, which will begin delivering customers this time, is a derivative of two models: "Speed" inspired by motorsports and "Mulliner," which aims for ultimate luxury. The New Continental GT Speed consists of a new 22-inch wheel inspired by tiger claws and details that emphasize dynamic sensibilities, while The New Continental GT Mulliner embodies a differentiated sense of luxury with its signature "floating diamond" grille, colorful chrome finish and new diamond quilting pattern.
The New Continental GT's official domestic sales price starts at 346.1 million won for The New Continental GT Speed and 374 million won for The New Continental GT Mulliner (all including VAT, depending on options).
