A History of Excellence

The Bentley Continental GT’s success isn’t just a recent phenomenon; it’s a legacy that stretches back over two decades. Since its debut, this stunning Grand Tourer has earned global recognition for its exquisite craftsmanship, powerful performance, and exceptional comfort. The latest awards serve as a testament to the car's enduring appeal and continuous evolution.

Three Prestigious Awards

The Continental GT’s most recent achievements are a reflection of its widespread admiration in the automotive world. Here’s a breakdown of the awards it recently claimed:

1. Best Luxury Import – Auto Motor und Sport (Germany)
   Auto Motor und Sport magazine, one of Germany’s most respected automotive publications, has been polling its readers for nearly half a century to determine the best cars in various categories. This year, the Continental GT triumphed once again in the luxury import category, marking the fourth consecutive year it has taken the top honor. The Bentley’s impressive performance and timeless appeal were enough to secure it a place above other competitors in a fiercely contested market.
2. Best Company Car – Auto Bild (Germany)
   In addition to its success in the luxury import category, the Continental GT was also nominated by readers of Auto Bild as the winner of the ‘Best Company Car’ award in the luxury import segment. This recognition highlights the Continental GT’s blend of elegance, performance, and practicality, making it a standout choice for those looking for a company car that offers both prestige and driving pleasure.
3. Best Luxury Import – Auto Illustrierte (Switzerland)
   The Continental GT’s award sweep continued in Switzerland, where it was named the ‘Best Car’ in the luxury import category by readers of Auto Illustrierte magazine. This marks the second consecutive year the Continental GT has claimed the top spot with this Swiss publication, underscoring its cross-border appeal and standing as the benchmark in the luxury Grand Tourer class.

A New Era for Bentley’s Grand Tourer

The fourth-generation Continental GT isn’t just about awards; it represents a bold new chapter in Bentley’s design philosophy. The car boasts a revolutionary new design DNA, incorporating sleek, modern lines with traditional Bentley elements. A standout feature of the new design is the single headlight layout, a nod to the 1950s, signaling the brand’s dedication to blending heritage with cutting-edge technology.

The Continental GT’s performance capabilities are equally remarkable, with the introduction of a hybrid powertrain for the first time in the model’s history. The 782 PS, 1,000 Nm ‘Ultra Performance Hybrid’ powertrain offers an electric range of up to 81 km, all while maintaining exceptionally low CO2 emissions of just 29 g/km. This combination of performance and environmental responsibility ensures the Continental GT remains relevant in today’s ever-evolving automotive landscape.

The Continental GT Speed: A Performance Masterpiece

For those seeking the ultimate performance-focused Bentley, the Continental GT Speed is the answer. It is the most powerful road-going Bentley ever produced, boasting a remarkable 0-100 km/h time of just 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 335 km/h. The GT Speed enhances the Continental GT’s already impressive driving dynamics, offering an unmatched driving experience that blends power, precision, and comfort.

Bentley’s Timeless Appeal

Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, expressed the significance of these recent accolades:
“This achievement reinforces the Continental GT’s legacy as the ultimate Grand Tourer and demonstrates its timeless desirability – just as sought-after today as it was over 20 years ago when first launched. We are proud and honoured to have been chosen by the readers for these three prestigious awards. The fourth-generation Continental GT is a real testament to the quality of the team back in Crewe, and those awards highlight the appeal of this incredible car.”

Bentley’s dedication to luxury, craftsmanship, and performance has been integral to the Continental GT’s success. The vehicle combines state-of-the-art technology with a level of craftsmanship that’s unmatched in the automotive world, making it the epitome of what a luxury Grand Tourer should be.
