New Continental GT Speed docks in South Africa
Saturday Star
|April 26, 2025
WHEN it comes to the new-generation Continental GT, Bentley is bringing out the big guns first.
The local importer pulled the covers off the new Continental GT Speed in Johannesburg recently, as this will be the first version of the new model series to grace local shores.
The order books are now open, with Bentley South Africa announcing a starting price of R6, 534 000 for the Coupé and R7, 083 000 for the GTC open-top variant.
The 'regular' Continental GT models are expected to make landfall towards the end of the third quarter of 2025, the importer said.
So what can buyers expect from the new flagship model?
A great deal of speed, as its name implies. The new Conti GT Speed is officially the fastest road-going Bentley ever created.
