Introducing the Bentley Continental GT Black Edition
May 14 2025,
Bentley reveals a bold new expression of its elegant Continental GT with the arrival of the Black Edition. Also available on the GTC and Flying Spur, this limited-production model—restricted to just 400 units worldwide—combines a sleek, dark aesthetic with high-performance hybrid technology. Designed for drivers who crave both refinement and sportiness, the Black Edition blends cutting-edge engineering, contemporary styling, and unmistakable Bentley dynamism.
A Distinctive Visual Signature
From the first glance, the Continental GT Black Edition makes a powerful impression. All traditional chrome elements are replaced with gloss black finishes, including the grille, headlight surrounds, bumper trim, and the iconic Bentley "Winged B" emblems. The 22-inch ten-spoke wheels come finished in black, with an optional two-tone finish for added contrast. For an extra touch of drama, Mandarin orange brake calipers are available at no additional cost.
A Meticulously Crafted Interior
Inside, the Black Edition continues to impress. The cabin features exclusive upholstery with Black Edition embroidery on the headrests, along with contrast stitching customizable to each buyer’s colour preference. A Piano Black veneer dominates the dash, complemented by special illuminated door sills and sport pedals. Bentley’s signature rotating display, ambient lighting, and ultra-comfort seats round out an interior experience that’s equal parts immersive and luxurious.
Electrified Power with Assertive Performance
Beneath the sculpted hood, the Black Edition is powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain that pairs a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 (520 hp) with a 190-hp electric motor, delivering a combined output of 680 hp. This powertrain propels the Continental GT from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds, while offering up to 80 km of all-electric range—making it as efficient in urban settings as it is thrilling on the open road.
Speed-Inspired Chassis Dynamics
For the first time, Bentley’s Performance Active Chassis—previously reserved for Speed models—is available outside that trim. This advanced system lets the driver tailor the car’s dynamics through multiple drive modes, including a Sport mode that sends full power to the rear wheels for a more engaging experience. With specially tuned steering and suspension, the Black Edition delivers sharper handling without compromising the smooth, luxurious ride expected from a Bentley.
With the Continental GT Black Edition, Bentley masterfully blends the prestige of grand touring with modern hybrid technology and a bold, contemporary aesthetic. Produced in extremely limited numbers, this model is a rare fusion of luxury and performance. For design-driven enthusiasts seeking a Bentley with unmistakable character and cutting-edge electrification, the Black Edition offers a truly exclusive opportunity.
