CarTell take
We haven't driven the Continental GT yet. On paper, spend time in the Mulliner configurator before signing. Confirm allocation timing with the dealer. PHEV charging at home needs an appropriate AC wallbox to realise the 80 km EV range claim daily.
Why consider it
- 575 kW combined and 3.2 seconds to 100 km/h is faster than the W12 ever was.
- Around 80 km of pure EV range covers daily commuting in silence.
- Twin-chamber air springs and rear-wheel steering standard on Speed.
What to know
- The W12 is gone and every grade is now a V8 plug-in hybrid.
- $499,000 plus on-roads is the starting list, options can add $100k easily.
- Kerb weight climbs to over 2,450 kg with the battery and motor.
Who it suits
Bentley GT loyalists wanting the most complete Continental yet, GTC buyers chasing open-air theatre, PHEV-curious luxury buyers wanting 80 km of silent commuting, and Mulliner clients commissioning bespoke leather, stone and wood.
