Sharper Styling With Subtle Sporty Touches
The Continental GT S features a more aggressive visual identity compared to the standard model. It rides on newly designed 22-inch alloy wheels and gets blacked-out exterior accents that give it a darker, sport-focused appearance. Dark-tinted headlamps and tail-lamps, previously exclusive to the GT Speed, are now part of the GT S package.
Inside, Bentley offers exclusive two-tone interior themes for the GT S, paired with piano black veneer as standard. Buyers seeking a more performance-oriented feel can opt for carbon fibre trim.
Same Power, Smarter Performance
Under the hood, Bentley has retained the same high-performance hybrid powertrain as the standard Continental GT. This setup combines a twin-turbocharged V8 engine with an electric motor to produce 671 bhp and 930 Nm of torque.
While output remains unchanged, the real upgrade lies in the chassis technology.
Performance Active Chassis Makes the Difference
The Continental GT S borrows Bentley’s Performance Active Chassis system from the more expensive GT Speed. This brings features such as:
- Active all-wheel drive with torque vectoring
- 48V active anti-roll control
- Adaptive suspension tuning
- Enhanced ESC with controlled wheel slip
These additions significantly improve handling and agility. The GT S also retains rear-wheel steering and an electronic limited-slip differential, while a new sports exhaust system enhances the car’s auditory experience.
Quicker Acceleration, Same Top Speed
Thanks to the upgraded chassis and drivetrain calibration, the Continental GT S is quicker off the line. It completes the 0–100 kmph sprint in just 3.5 seconds, making it 0.2 seconds faster than the standard GT.
Despite the improved acceleration, the top speed remains unchanged at 305 kmph.
Final Verdict
The Bentley Continental GT S offers a compelling option for buyers seeking a more engaging driving experience without stepping up to the GT Speed. With sharper handling, faster acceleration, and subtle design upgrades, the GT S successfully bridges the gap between luxury and performance.
