The new S range for the 2023 Bentley Continental GT and GTC is for those who love a luxury car with some kick. According to Bentley, the S range gives drivers more pleasure when on the open road with the famous grand tourer. The muscular 4.0-liter from the distinguished Continental GT V8 complements the exterior design enhancements and bespoke interior.
Bentley’s popular 4.0-liter V8 generates 542 bhp (550 PS) and 568 lb-ft. of torque (770 Nm). A new exhaust system helps amplify the engine’s growl.
S models benefit from Bentley’s Dynamic Ride, a 48 V electric anti-roll system. By generating up to 959 lb-ft. of torque (1300 Nm) in 0.3 seconds, motors within the anti-roll bars compensate for cornering forces to minimize body roll while cornering. Likewise, the system also smooths things out while cruising by decoupling the left- and right-hand wheels from each other.
Bentley is going for a dynamic and dramatic look with the S range, opting for gloss black treatments across the entire body. The only real visible chrome is found on the Bentley badge. Finishing touches for the exterior include S badging on the front fenders, black quad exhaust tailpipes, and black sill extenders like on the Continental GT Speed.
The S range has a new 22-inch wheel option, with five Y-shaped spokes finished in gloss black or Pale Brodgar Satin. Also available are 21-inch tri-spoke wheels that combine gloss black and bright machined finishes. Both wheels are accented with red brake calipers.
The Continental GT and GTC S models will have a gorgeous interior with all the trimmings in true Bentley fashion. Dinamica microfiber adorns the steering wheel, gear lever, seat cushions, and backrests. Meanwhile, a leather hide is used for the seat bolsters, door pads, along the instrument panel, and around the console.
Finishing touches include a metal S signature badge on the fascia and illuminated Bentley treadplates with the S replacing the Bentley Motors Ltd plaque.
As of this writing, Bentley has yet to mention the pricing for the Continental GT and GTC S. Expert the starting MSRP to land somewhere in the mid-$200,000 neighborhood for the coupe and more if you opt for the convertible.
