The verdict

What's good

  • Can glide silently on electric power
  • Most opulent cabin in its class
  • Composed for such a fast car

What's not

  • Battery adds considerable weight
  • Tiny, near-useless rear seats
  • Repairs and service cost a fortune
  • Bulky to thread through traffic

The engine

4.0L V8 PHEV

Twin-Turbo V8 Plug-in Hybrid

Bentley's Ultra Performance Hybrid combines a twin-turbo V8 with a strong electric motor for the most powerful Continental GT ever, the e-motor filling in instantly off idle so there is no turbo lag and a near-silent surge before the V8 wakes with a muscular bellow.

It pairs the VW Group 4.0 TFSI V8 with a plug-in hybrid system, replacing the long-running W12 as the Continental GT Speed's flagship powertrain and built in Crewe, England.
