It might come as something of a surprise, but if we had to pick a car that best demonstrates the virtues of electrification, the new Bentley Continental GT Speed might be it. Why? Well, the hybrid element only serves to bolster the Continental GT’s greatest asset – its duality – giving the Conti an additional element of serene usability but also imbuing it with supercar levels of straight line performance.
The new Speed is a petrol plug-in hybrid delivering a mind-blowing 771bhp in total, for 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds. Plus, it can officially manage up to 50 miles on electric power.
