  • A trio of awards for the fourth-generation Continental GT from the readers of key publications in Germany and Switzerland, two significant markets for the brand
  • For the fourth time in a row, Continental GT is nominated ‘Best Cars’ in the luxury import class category of Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport poll 
  • Continental GT is the ‘Best Company Car’ winner in the luxury import category of renowned German title, Auto Bild
  • Continental GT is ‘Best Cars’ in the luxury class category for the second year running of Auto Illustrierte
  • Fourth-generation and sector-defining Continental GT benefits from a bold design DNA and first to feature a hybrid powertrain capable of 81 km of electric range and CO2 emissions of just 29 g/km

The Bentley Continental GT has reinforced its status as the world’s sector-defining Grand Tourer with a trio of coveted awards. Effortlessly blending supercar performance, handcrafted luxury and everyday usability, the new, fourth-generation Continental GT has claimed two sought-after titles in Germany, and a prestigious award in Switzerland.

Readers of influential Auto Motor und Sport magazine in Germany have been polled for their favourite cars for almost half a century. This year, over 94,000 readers considered a record 462 models in 13 categories, awarding the class-leading Continental GT the ‘Best Cars’ title in the luxury import category. The win is the fourth year in a row that the Continental GT has taken the honour, despite strong competition.

At the same time, the Continental GT was nominated by readers of Germany’s Auto Bild magazine as winner of the ‘Best Company Car’ award in the luxury import category. 

Finally, Bentley secured a hat-trick of wins when the exquisitely-crafted Continental GT was named ‘Best Cars’ in the luxury import class category of Swiss magazine, Auto Illustrierte. It is the second-year running the Grand Tourer has been chosen by the magazine’s readers.

Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, said:

“This achievement reinforces the Continental GT’s legacy as the ultimate Grand Tourer and demonstrates its timeless desirability – just as sought-after today as it was over 20 years ago when first launched. We are proud and honoured to have been chosen by the readers for these three prestigious awards. The fourth-generation Continental GT is a real testament of the quality of the team back in Crewe and those awards highlight the appeal of this incredible car.” 

The latest Continental GT presents a revolutionary new design DNA for Bentley. Clean, modern detailing includes a single headlight design – the first since the 1950s. Under the skin, the fourth generation model introduces a hybrid powertrain for the first time. The all-new 782 PS, 1,000 Nm ‘Ultra Performance Hybrid’ has an electric range of 81 km and CO2 emissions of just 29 g/km. 

Offering an even more performance-focused drive, the all-new Continental GT Speed is the most powerful road-going Bentley ever, capable of 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 335 km/h.
