Bentley Motors Unveils First New Continental GT Speed, Starting Price 26.9 Million Baht

Bentley Motors has unveiled the first New Continental GT Speed, along with a photo of the production team following the vehicle's completion at Bentley Motors' factory in Crewe, England.

The launch coincided with the 136th birthday of Walter Owen Bentley, the brand’s founder, on September 16. This also marks the official start of production to fulfill customer orders. In Thailand, Bentley Bangkok, operated by AAS Auto Service Co., Ltd., the sole official importer and distributor of Bentley vehicles, is set to bring the New Continental GT Speed to the country for an official launch in December.

The first New Continental GT Speed features a Tourmaline Green exterior, with an interior in Gravity Grey and Mandarin orange accents, similar to the model used in the 'Underwater Speed Record' advertisement. This vehicle will join the UK Press Fleet before being permanently stored in Bentley’s Heritage Collection. Production for customer orders will now begin, allowing for unlimited customization options.

Andreas Lehe, Bentley Motors’ Executive Director of Production, commented, “The fourth-generation New Continental GT Speed is truly a masterpiece. The vibrant Tourmaline Green used in this launch reinterprets Bentley’s iconic green, designed and crafted by our expert artisans. This vehicle passed through 92 assembly stations during its production process. We have also enhanced the interior design with three-dimensional leather textures, modern stitching, and dark chrome finishes. Our craftspeople in Crewe have meticulously created this masterpiece, reflecting luxury in every detail.”

The New Continental GT Speed represents the perfect blend of supercar performance, luxurious craftsmanship, and everyday usability. This new model comes with completely redesigned interior and exterior details, showcasing sleek and modern aesthetics inspired by Bentley's exclusive Bacalar and Batur models.

The vehicle's outstanding performance is driven by the new Ultra Performance Hybrid, delivering 782 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque. The 4.0-liter V8 engine works in conjunction with a 190-horsepower electric motor, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, and offering a full electric range of 81 kilometers. Combined, it achieves a total driving range of over 859 kilometers, solidifying its status as a flawless supercar for daily use.

Bentley Bangkok, operated by AAS Auto Service Co., Ltd., is now accepting orders for the New Continental GT Speed in Thailand. The New Continental GT Speed starts at 26.9 million baht, while the New Continental GT Convertible Speed starts at 29.5 million baht.

Owners of Bentley vehicles from Bentley Bangkok will enjoy exclusive benefits, including the longest hybrid battery warranty of up to 8 years or 160,000 kilometers, a 3-year manufacturer warranty with 24-hour Bentley Roadside Assistance, and the option to extend the manufacturer’s warranty for up to 4 years.
