Back in June of this year, Bentley unveiled the latest generation of its ultra-luxury Continental GT lineup, at which point the British automaker only revealed images and details of the top-of-the-line Speed variant, creating quite a stir among car enthusiasts worldwide.
And just under five months later, a brand-new Bentley Continental GT coupe has arrived in the Vietnamese market. According to sources, the vehicle is officially imported and priced at around 20 billion VND, excluding additional options.

Compared to the third-generation Bentley Continental GT owned by Cuong “Dollar” and many other Vietnamese tycoons, the all-new version that has just arrived in Vietnam features noticeable changes, including redesigned side air vents, while the front grille and central air intake remain unchanged.
Another change is the new, larger LED matrix headlights, and the disappearance of the front fender air vent. Meanwhile, the taillights have been refreshed with a deeper three-dimensional effect.
It comes as no surprise that the interior of the 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed is adorned with premium materials. This is also where the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the British marque are most evident.
The dashboard and overall layout of the interior remain largely unchanged. The centerpiece of the cabin is the 12.3-inch touchscreen display that can be rotated inward when not in use.
This screen supports wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity, over-the-air software updates, and smart connectivity systems. Additionally, the car features 20-way power-adjustable seats, a Bang & Olufsen sound system with 650W or 1,500W of power, and, at the top of the range, a Naim audio system delivering 2,200W.
Under the hood of the 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed is a new hybrid powertrain, comprising a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine and a potent 187-hp electric motor integrated into an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This Ultra Performance Hybrid system delivers a maximum output of 771 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque, surpassing the power of the previous W12 engine.
With this new powertrain, the Continental GT Speed becomes Bentley’s most powerful model to date. The engine’s performance enables the 2025 Continental GT Speed to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds in the Coupe version and 3.4 seconds in the GTC convertible variant. The top speeds of these two versions are 315 km/h and 285 km/h, respectively, making them 0.4 seconds faster than their predecessors.
Moreover, the 2025 Continental GT Speed is equipped with a 25.9 kWh battery pack located behind the rear axle for optimal weight distribution. This battery allows the car to travel up to 81 km without using any fuel. When combining the battery and gasoline engine, the car can cover a total distance of 859 km. A full charge of the battery using an 11 kW charger takes two hours and 45 minutes.
Notably, the car is also fitted with the new Bentley Performance Active Chassis technology, including an active all-wheel-drive system, an electronic rear differential lock, all-wheel steering, torque vectoring, the Bentley Dynamic Ride active anti-roll system, and new electronic stability control software.
In addition, the vehicle features a new two-valve shock absorber and two-chamber air spring system. These components contribute to a more impressive combination of dynamic performance, steering response, and ride comfort. Finally, the car is equipped with standard steel ventilated disc brakes measuring 420 mm in the front and 380 mm in the rear. Carbon-silicon-carbide disc brakes are available as an option, with diameters of 440 mm and 410 mm.
