Bentley's new plug-in hybrid has 771 horsepower, great moves, and 208 mph of mega-luxe top speed.
The Parcmotor Castellolí race circuit, 45 minutes outside of Barcelona, isn't the first place we'd choose for a meet and greet with the next generation of Bentley's signature two-door grand-touring car, the 2025 Continental GT. The 2.6-mile circuit's 11 turns are drizzled across the mountainous terrain like caramel sauce on a couple scoops of Häagen-Dazs.
We suspect that those numbers are conservative, so the hybridized GT stands a good chance of lunging to 60 mph in less than three seconds in our testing. Those are serious legs considering that Bentley says the PHEV hardware has added roughly 440 pounds to the sumo-class GT, bringing the big coupe to roughly 5500 pounds—just a couple of bags of lawn fertilizer short of what a Ford F-150 crew-cab pickup weighs.
