2027 Bentley Continental GT Release Date & Specs – The 2027 Bentley Continental GT continues the fourth-generation grand tourer with a strong focus on the limited-run Continental GT Supersports, the most driver-focused model yet from the British luxury brand. For U.S. buyers, this model year brings pure internal-combustion performance alongside the existing plug-in hybrid lineup. Official details confirm key timing, powertrain choices, pricing, and availability aimed at the American market.
Expected Release and Delivery Timeline
Bentley unveiled the Continental GT Supersports on November 14, 2025. Order books open in March 2026. Production is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, with first customer deliveries starting in early 2027. This timeline applies to the U.S. market as part of global allocations.
The broader 2027 Continental GT and GTC (convertible) range builds on the current fourth-generation models already on sale, with the Supersports as the standout limited-edition highlight for the model year.
Continental GT Supersports: Key Specs and Features
The Supersports is limited to just 500 individually numbered examples worldwide. It marks several firsts for a modern Continental GT: rear-wheel drive only (no all-wheel drive), a non-hybrid twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, and a two-seat cabin with the rear seats deleted for weight savings.
Power output stands at 657 horsepower (666 PS) and 590 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission sends power exclusively to the rear wheels via an electronically controlled limited-slip differential. Official figures list 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of approximately 192 mph. Curb weight drops below 4,400 pounds (under 2,000 kg), making it the lightest Continental GT and the lightest Bentley in 85 years—roughly 1,000 pounds lighter than hybrid GT models—thanks to carbon-fiber components (including the roof), deleted hybrid and AWD systems, reduced sound deadening, and the two-seat layout.
Chassis highlights include large carbon-silicon-carbide brakes (440 mm front with 10-piston calipers), 22-inch forged wheels developed with Manthey Racing, and significant aerodynamic upgrades. These generate more than 660 pounds of additional downforce compared with the Continental GT Speed, aided by a large front splitter, dive planes, side sills, fender blades, rear diffuser, and fixed rear wing. Drive modes (Touring, Bentley, and Sport) and adjustable ESC allow varying levels of driver engagement, including controllable oversteer.
Pricing and U.S. Availability
The Continental GT Supersports starts at more than $486,000 before options, destination charges, and Mulliner personalization. This positions it as one of Bentley’s most exclusive and expensive two-door offerings. Regular hybrid Continental GT models continue in the lineup with starting prices in the mid-to-high $200,000s to low $300,000s range depending on trim (base, S, Azure, Speed, Mulliner), while convertibles command a premium.
U.S. buyers can order through authorized Bentley dealers. Allocations for the 500-unit Supersports are limited, so early interest is advised once order books open in March 2026. Special editions such as the Bespoke Series by Mulliner (limited to 100 units based on the GT S) and one-off models further expand 2027 exclusivity options.
Standard 2027 Continental GT Powertrains and Lineup
Most Continental GT and GTC models retain the plug-in hybrid setup pairing a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with an electric motor. Outputs range from approximately 671 horsepower in base and S models to 771 horsepower in higher-performance Speed and Mulliner variants. These deliver strong acceleration (0-60 mph in the low-to-mid 3-second range for top versions), all-wheel drive, and usable electric-only range (around 30–50 miles depending on testing cycle and configuration).
The S trim adds sportier styling and dynamics while remaining hybrid and all-wheel-drive. Azure emphasizes comfort and luxury, and Mulliner offers extensive bespoke options. All continue the fourth-generation design language with refined interiors featuring high-quality leather, advanced digital displays, and wellness-focused seating technology.
Why the 2027 Model Matters for American Buyers?
For U.S. enthusiasts and collectors, the Supersports delivers a purist alternative in an era of electrification—raw V8 sound via an Akrapovič titanium exhaust, rear-drive dynamics, and dramatic weight reduction without sacrificing Bentley craftsmanship. It celebrates 100 years since the original Super Sports while offering track-capable engagement alongside grand-touring refinement.
Hybrid models provide everyday usability with lower emissions potential and strong performance. Combined with Bentley’s renowned personalization through Mulliner, the 2027 Continental GT range appeals to buyers seeking exclusivity, power, and British luxury on American roads.
