The Bentley Continental GT and GTC welcome the new "S" trim

Bentley has repeatedly demonstrated the level of customisation it can offer customers when choosing one of its models, although perhaps the best example of this is the Continental and its various versions, as in the past they showed how the Continental GT and GTC can be personalised with up to seven billion different configurations.

The stars of today are precisely the Bentley Continental GT and GTC, as the English brand has expanded the range of both versions with the new “S” trim, focused on offering a visual upgrade and greater performance when enjoying the drive. Both versions benefit from styling details for the exterior and interior, all complemented by the powerful V8 engine under the bonnet.

Regardless of the trim chosen for the bodywork of the Continental GT S and GTC S, both models benefit from numerous gloss black elements such as the headlight surrounds, the wing mirror housings, the window frames, the rear lights, and the moulding that runs to the rear and starts at the side air intakes. They also fit 22-inch wheels with five Y-shaped spokes in gloss black, or exclusive 21-inch wheels combining gloss black with a chrome finish, in both cases with red brake calipers for greater contrast.

If we open the doors and enter the interior of the Bentley Continental GT S and GTC S, we find an atmosphere built around two tones exclusive to both models, combining Dinamica leather used on the steering wheel, the gearbox surround and the seats, the latter combined with Bentley leather, which also features on the door panels, dashboard and centre console.

Moving on to more specific details, the seats feature a fluted pattern in their upholstery, plus the “S” emblem embroidered on the headrests of each seat, and the Bentley emblem can be added at no cost, along with new padding. The instrument panel is inherited from the Continental GT Speed, so the graphics shown focus on offering a sportier look and information display.

Mechanically, the Bentley Continental GT S and GTC S use the twin-turbo V8 engine of 4,000 cc, capable of delivering 542 CV together with a torque output of 770 Nm, allowing it to accelerate to 100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds for the GT S version and 4.1 seconds for the GTC S, and also featuring cylinder deactivation when driving conditions allow it.
