The 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed First Edition represents a remarkable evolution in the realm of super luxury coupes. Bentley has meticulously redesigned this iconic model, infusing it with a blend of modern aesthetics and cutting-edge technology. The exterior is a testament to Bentley’s commitment to craftsmanship, featuring crystal cut headlights and horizontal teardrop taillights that exude a contemporary flair. The transition from a 12-cylinder gas engine to a V8 plug-in hybrid might stir controversy among purists, but it delivers an impressive 771 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, ensuring a powerful yet silent drive with up to 50 miles of all-electric range.
Inside, the Bentley Continental GT Speed continues to impress with its luxurious and customizable interior. The faceted door panels and textured metal dials evoke the precision of fine jewelry, while the rotating display with bezel-set gauges adds a touch of sophistication. Despite the subtle changes, the interior maintains the opulence Bentley is known for, offering over 4 million combinations of colors, textures, and finishes for a truly personalized experience. The driving experience is equally versatile, with modes ranging from the serene E mode to the exhilarating sport mode, allowing drivers to fully exploit the car’s formidable power. The 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed is not just a car; it’s a bespoke masterpiece that caters to the discerning tastes of its owners.

Not long ago I told you about the most beautiful car I’ve ever driven, the 2024 Bentley Continental GTC convertible coupe. I easily fell in love with its simple proportions, effortless drive and surprising power under foot.
Inside, the yacht-like blonde wood and cream leather upholstery were set apart by nautical switchgear and gloss black trim, all adding up to a most eye-pleasing experience. While the 2025 model sports an updated powertrain and some new design details, it’s completely possible to outfit it similarly to the 2024 model, with the same interior colors, accents and paint; Bentley offers buyers more than 4 million ways to spec out its cars.
