Bentley Continental GTC

2026 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GTC S — UK SPECIFICATION

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN

The Continental GTC S carries Bentley's High Performance Hybrid powertrain: a 3,996 cc twin-turbocharged V8 producing 519 PS (382 kW) at 6,250 rpm and 770 Nm between 2,300 and 4,500 rpm, working with a 190 PS (140 kW) / 450 Nm electric motor integrated into the transmission. Combined system output is 680 PS (671 bhp) and 930 Nm. Drive is delivered through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and active all-wheel drive with an electronic limited-slip differential providing torque vectoring. A sports exhaust system is fitted as standard. The 25.9 kWh battery gives a WLTP electric range of 82 km (51 miles). Weighted WLTP figures are 4.3 l/100 km (66 mpg), an electrical consumption of 19.9 kWh/100 km and 98 g/km of CO2; with a discharged battery the combined figure is 10.6 l/100 km (26.6 mpg). Combined WLTP driving range is 837 km (520 miles) and the fuel tank holds 80 litres.

PERFORMANCE

0-100 km/h takes 3.7 seconds (0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds) and maximum speed is 308 km/h (191 mph), the top-speed figure quoted by Bentley with the optional summer tyre fitted as original equipment.

CHASSIS, STEERING AND BRAKES

The S grade includes the Bentley Performance Active Chassis package. Bentley Dynamic Ride active roll control adjusts the anti-roll bars while driving to limit body movement in corners; twin-valve dampers separate the four driving modes, which run from Comfort to Sport. Active all-wheel drive maintains traction and the electronic limited-slip differential vectors torque across the rear axle. All-wheel steering is standard, tightening the turning circle at low speed and steadying lane changes at speed. Iron brakes are standard, with carbon-ceramic brakes offered as a factory option. This car rides on the S-exclusive 22-inch 10-spoke swept-spoke wheel in black and silver.

DIMENSIONS AND CAPACITIES

Overall length 4,895 mm; width across mirrors 2,187 mm (Bentley does not publish a body-only width for this model); overall height 1,392 mm; wheelbase 2,848 mm. Unladen weight is 2,636 kg on the EU measure. Boot volume is 134 litres with the roof stowed and the fuel tank holds 80 litres. Two doors, four seats.

EXTERIOR

The S grade includes the Blackline Specification as standard, which replaces every chrome exterior detail with black — the Bentley badge and wordmark included. The Styling Specification is also standard, adding a gloss black Beluga bodykit with matching mirror caps. The headlamps carry Bentley's Precision pattern, reserved for its sports-inspired models, and the slashed-oval rear lamps and twin slashed-oval tailpipe finishers are given a dark-tint finish. The fabric roof is offered in seven colours. This car is finished in Pale Brodgar.

INTERIOR AND SEATING

The cabin is a four-seat layout with the S model's vertically fluted seat quilting and embroidered 'S' emblems, an exclusive S hide colour layout, and Dinamica panels on the seats, dashboard, gear lever and heated steering wheel. Piano Black veneers run through the cabin with a metallic 'S' badge on the fascia, and the stainless steel treadplates are engraved with the 'S' emblem. This car is trimmed in a two-tone dark and light hide with contrast quilted seat facings; the specific hide and veneer names were not stated by the selling dealer and should be confirmed against the build sheet.

INFOTAINMENT AND CONNECTIVITY

Bentley Rotating Display with central touchscreen, a digital driver instrument panel with graphics specific to Bentley's performance models, and My Bentley App Studio for installing apps directly onto the car's own system. Wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both supported, and the car carries built-in 5G connectivity with a Wi-Fi hotspot. Bentley Signature Audio is standard; Bang & Olufsen for Bentley and Naim for Bentley are the optional upgrades.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE AND SAFETY

Adaptive Cruise Assist with Lane Guidance is standard, holding the car in the centre of its lane and maintaining a set gap, including stop-and-go. Predictive Adaptive Cruise Assist extends that to roads beyond the motorway, using navigation data to manage speed through limit changes, bends, junctions and roundabouts. 3D Surround View offers four camera views plus a 3D view of the car's surroundings. Euro NCAP has not tested the Continental GT/GTC, so no crash-test rating is published for this model.

SOURCE AND CONDITION

Supplied new by a UK Bentley retailer in Leeds and first registered on a 2026 UK plate with 30 miles (48 km) recorded — a delivery-mileage car, registered rather than never-registered. Right-hand drive, UK/European homologation. Specification figures above are Bentley Motors' own published UK data for the Continental GTC S High Performance Hybrid.
