The highly anticipated fourth-generation Continental GT Speed is set to dazzle at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed, marking its global public debut. Fresh from breaking the 'Underwater Speed Record' in Norway's Ryfylke tunnel, where it achieved an astonishing speed of 208 mph (335 km/h), Bentley's latest masterpiece combines exhilarating performance with cutting-edge hybrid technology.

Breaking Records and Making Waves

The 2024 Continental GT Speed, powered by Bentley’s new Ultra Performance Hybrid electrocharged powertrain, boasts an impressive 782 PS and 1000 Nm of torque. This powerhouse accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.6 seconds, making it the quickest production Bentley to date. The innovative hybrid setup not only delivers superior performance but also reduces CO2 emissions to a remarkable 29 g/km, setting a new standard in sustainable luxury.

Unveiling at Goodwood Festival of Speed

At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, enthusiasts can witness the Continental GT Speed in action on the iconic Hill Climb, where it will make two daily runs from Thursday through Sunday. Additionally, visitors can marvel at a unique display featuring the Tourmaline Green Continental GT Speed immersed in a custom-built fish tank, aptly named the ‘FOShtank’. This bespoke installation showcases Bentley’s commitment to innovation and luxury in a playful yet sophisticated manner.

Behind the Scenes of the Underwater Speed Record

Achieving the record-breaking speed through Norway's Ryfylke tunnel required meticulous planning and preparation. Bentley’s engineering team conducted extensive simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics to optimize aerodynamics and ensure safety during the high-speed run. The car, equipped with 22” Pirelli tyres and driven by former British Rally champion Mark Higgins, navigated the tunnel’s challenges with precision and grace.
