(PRESS RELEASE) MUNICH, 27-Feb-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — The Bentley Continental GT has solidified its position as the ultimate Grand Tourer with a remarkable trio of prestigious awards in Germany and Switzerland. The fourth-generation model, renowned for its blend of supercar performance, handcrafted luxury, and daily usability, has been celebrated by readers of some of Europe’s most influential automotive publications.

In Germany, the Continental GT earned top honors in the luxury import category of the ‘Best Cars’ poll conducted by Auto Motor und Sport. This marks the fourth consecutive year the Continental GT has secured this prestigious award, continuing its dominance in the luxury car market despite fierce competition. The annual Auto Motor und Sport poll, which gathered responses from over 94,000 readers, highlights the enduring appeal of Bentley’s flagship model.

The Continental GT also claimed the ‘Best Company Car’ award in the luxury import category, as voted by the readers of Auto Bild, another prominent German automotive magazine. This recognition further underscores the vehicle’s versatility and desirability among discerning drivers.

In Switzerland, the Continental GT’s excellence was again acknowledged when it was named ‘Best Cars’ in the luxury class category by the readers of Auto Illustrierte. This marks the second year in a row the Grand Tourer has been awarded this honor, cementing its reputation as the car of choice for those who appreciate the finest in automotive design and performance.

Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, expressed pride in the accolades: “These awards reinforce the Continental GT’s legacy as the ultimate Grand Tourer and highlight its continued appeal, as it remains just as desirable today as when it was first launched over two decades ago. We are honored to have received these prestigious recognitions, which reflect the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of our team in Crewe.”

The latest iteration of the Continental GT features a bold, revolutionary design with clean, modern detailing, including a single headlight design – the first of its kind since the 1950s. Under the hood, the fourth-generation model introduces a hybrid powertrain for the first time, boasting an impressive 782 PS, 1,000 Nm ‘Ultra Performance Hybrid’ engine with an electric range of 81 km and CO2 emissions of just 29 g/km.

For those seeking even more performance, the Continental GT Speed takes driving to new heights. With a top speed of 335 km/h and acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, the Continental GT Speed is the most powerful road-going Bentley ever built.
