Few cars combine couture styling, supercar performance, and aristocratic luxury better than the 2026 Bentley Continental GT coupe and Continental GTC convertible. A plug-in hybrid powertrain featuring a twin-turbo V-8 pumps out colossal horsepower ratings capable of launching this extravagant rocket to 60 mph in under 3.0 seconds. The Bentley’s suspension is tuned to play, but this two-door knows how to relax too, and it’s a dream come true on long road trips. Its front seats are comfortable and supportive for a day-long drive, and the aromas of wood and leather combine in a rich-smelling bouquet. Of course, excellence comes at a price, and the Continental GT starts deep in the six-figure range and only gets more expensive as you pile on options and customizations.
What's New for 2026?
This year, a base model, a sporty-looking S trim, and a mid-range Azure trim make their debuts, all powered by a 671-hp version of the Continental GT’s plug-in hybrid powertrain. While the entry-level and S coupe and convertible models wear a front fascia and grille that are very similar to the Speed model, the Azure has more chrome accents and a waterfall grille with 11 chrome strips. The Azure also wears unique 22-inch wheels, open-pore wood interior trim, and special illuminated door sill protector plates. Like all Bentley models, these new additions are highly customizable and effortlessly luxurious.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2026 Bentley Continental GT starts at $288.750 and goes up to $418.650 depending on the trim and options.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The Continental GT coupe and GTC convertible are powered by a 671-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain that consists of a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine and an electric motor. An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are both standard. Step up to a Speed or Mulliner model, and you’ll get a whopping 771 horsepower from the same powertrain, making it the most powerful road-going Continental GT to date.
When we drove the Continental GT Speed, we found the hybrid powertrain to be astonishingly powerful and quite refined as well. We were also impressed by the lower-output powertrain in the S model, which is plenty powerful on its own. The Continental GT's prodigious weight hurts its handling and braking performance, but it's sublimely comfortable and quiet. The more sport-oriented GT S remedies some of the lesser trims' handling woes with more aggressive chassis programming, standard air springs with adaptive dampers, rear-axle steering, active anti-roll bars, torque vectoring, and an electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential. On our test drive of a GT S, we were wowed by its dynamic talents and just-right ride and handling balance.
0–60-MPH Times
When we tested a Continental GT Speed coupe, it got to 60 mph in a swift 2.8 seconds. A Continental GT S that we recently tested got to the 60 mph mark in just 2.8 seconds.
