2026 Bentley Continental GT S and GTC S – All details
Engine specs and performance
The rebirth of the ‘S’ moniker for the Continental GT and GTC has introduced more power and performance for both models. While these continue to use the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, the power it offers is now up to 680 bhp and 930 Nm torque. This is a substantial improvement of 130 bhp and 160 Nm over the previous generation models.
Bentley claims that the new ‘S’ models can sprint 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, while the top speed is 306 km/h. This is achieved with the help of the Performance Active Chassis with the new AWD, a new ESC software update, torque vectoring, new twin-valve dampers, and the introduction of all-wheel steering for the first time. Both models now get up to 80 km of pure electric range as well.
Exterior updates
On the outside, both models come loaded with the optional Blackline specifications. This adds the front bumper lower spoiler, a new grille, ORVM caps, door sill extensions, and a black rear diffuser. Additionally, the headlights, taillights and the exhaust tips come finished in black, adding to the sporty profile.
Another exterior change is the addition of the new 22-inch alloy wheels that are offered in two shades: 10-spoke in silver as standard, and an optional full gloss black or machined surface with gloss black highlights.
Interior updates
While the cabin layout and the features are identical to the standard version, the ‘S’ models come loaded with a dual-tone seat upholstery with an S badge embroidered on the headrests and the back support. Other additions include the full leather upholstery and the high-grade metal finished elements in the dark tinted chrome.
In terms of comfort and convenience, customers can opt for a heated steering wheel, a Naim audio system, and mood lighting.
