Bentley Continental GT and GTC Speed to Debut at Milano Autoclassica 2024

Bentley’s highly anticipated fourth-generation Continental GT and GTC models will make their Italian public debut at the 14th edition of Milano AutoClassica, held from November 15-17, 2024. The Bentley Milano stand will showcase these cutting-edge models, capturing the attention of automotive enthusiasts and luxury car connoisseurs alike.

A New Era for the Continental GT and GTC

The fourth-generation Bentley Continental GT and GTC Speed mark a bold evolution in design and performance. Showcased in striking Gravity Grey paintwork, the models embody Bentley’s forward-thinking aesthetic, influenced by the craftsmanship seen in the coachbuilt Bacalar and Batur. This generation’s design overhaul introduces a sleeker, more modern exterior alongside a meticulously crafted interior, representing the most significant transformation of the Continental series in two decades. Notably, Bentley’s signature single headlamp design reappears for the first time since the 1950s.

Ultra Performance Hybrid Powertrain

At the heart of the new Continental models is an Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain, combining a 4.0-litre V8 engine with a 190 PS electric motor. This hybrid configuration delivers an impressive 782 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque, allowing a 0-60 mph acceleration in just 3.1 seconds. While offering exhilarating speed, the hybrid system also supports up to 50 miles of electric-only range and a total driving range of 534 miles, blending supercar-level performance with everyday practicality.

Dynamic Handling and Precision Engineering

The Continental GT and GTC Speed models are equipped with Bentley's advanced Performance Active Chassis, dual valve dampers, dual chamber air springs, and the Bentley Dynamic Ride system with an LSD and torque vectoring. This sophisticated setup, combined with a nearly perfect 49:51 weight distribution, elevates the handling dynamics and steering precision to unparalleled levels.

Striking Design Details

Externally, these new Continental models stand out with bold features like a sleek Black Gloss radiator grille and Dark Tint LED headlamps, ensuring they command attention from every angle. Inside, luxury abounds with intricate diamond quilting and hand-stitched leather in rich Beluga tones. The Continental GTC further enhances the grand touring experience, offering the freedom and exhilaration of open-air driving.

Showcasing the Bentayga V8 Azure

Visitors to the Bentley Milano stand will also have the opportunity to admire the Bentayga V8 Azure, a luxury SUV that combines powerful performance with refined elegance. Finished in Onyx, this model is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 550 PS and 770 Nm. The Bentayga V8 Azure showcases bespoke customisation options from Bentley’s Mulliner division, including Diamond Quilt seating and Animated Welcome Lamps.

The Azure’s exterior features signature Bentley design elements such as bright chrome accents, LED Matrix headlamps, and 22” Ten Spoke wheels.
