The brand-new Bentley Continental GT and it’s barely believable. No, really.
It’s the most powerful production Bentley ever made, and yet it’s more fuel efficient than a Renault Clio. It’s the most comfortable Continental GT ever made, and yet it now handles like a supercar. And it’s a plug-in hybrid, and yet you never actually have to plug it in. They should have called this the Bentley Contradiction GT. So yeah, the Bentley Continental GT Is a plug-in hybrid now. Lilke an airport taxi. But fret not, because this plug-in hybrid has 782 horsepower and 1000 Newton metres of torque. And that gets the car to 62mph in 3.3 seconds, yet also gives it 50 miles of zero-emissions driving. Win, win, win, win, win… right? You’ll have to watch the video to find out. Off you go, then.
