Bentley revealed that the plug-in hybrid V-8 in the new Continental GT will make 771 hp. It will be the most powerful car in the company's history.
The British luxury marque revealed on Thursday that the upcoming fourth generation of its commanding coupé will be the most powerful vehicle in its history despite trading its W-12 for aactually undersold its new plug-in Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain at its unveiling last week. At the time, the company said the setup, which pairs a V-8 mill with an electric motor, would make “more than 740 hp.” That number was enticing, but also unspecific.
We now know how powerful Bentley’s new hybrid V-8 is, but that’s about it. We’re still waiting to find out how big the combustion engine will be, where the electric motor will be located, and whether its increased output will translate to improved performance . It’s also unclear how much weight the new hardware, including the battery that feeds the motor, will add to what is already a heavy car at around 5,000 pounds.
