The first Bentley with the new "Ultra Performance Hybrid" drivetrain

With a power output of 782 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque - combined with an all-electric range of 80 km and a CO2 (WLPT) of less than 50 g/km - the new Continental GT marks an important milestone for Bentley. Not only will it be the most powerful and dynamic road car in Bentley's 105-year history, it will also be the most sustainable - without compromising on the handcrafted luxury and exceptional materials that characterise Bentley's cars

Revised design and the latest technologies

This new addition to the Bentley portfolio offers the latest chassis technologies, including active all-wheel drive with torque vectoring, all-wheel steering, electronic limited slip differential, 48-volt active roll stabilisation and new advanced twin-valve shock absorbers.

Perfect embodiment of a modern Bentley

A revised design and the latest technologies give the latest generation of this car the finishing touches and make this vehicle the perfect embodiment of a modern Bentley.
The Continental GT made its debut in 2002, ushering in a new Bentley era. The car was to revolutionise the business, increase sales tenfold and redefine Bentley in the context of the modern age. The design inspiration and performance model for the Continental GT was the R Type Continental from 1952 - the fastest four-seater in the world at the time, which established the concept of a luxurious grand tourer. It was a long-distance cruiser for crossing the entire continent - which is how it got its name. The Continental GT adopted the three most important lines of the original design: the "powerline", the flanks and the sloping roofline. The effect of the Continental GT was dramatic - within four years, Bentley's annual sales climbed from around 1,000 to over 10,000 vehicles. A second-generation Continental GT was unveiled in Paris in 2010 - orders were taken from October of that year and deliveries began in early 2011. The second generation was launched with a W12 engine, but this was supplemented by a new 4.0-litre V8 variant in 2012. The third generation followed in 2018, based on a new, specially developed platform. The Continental GT received a new engine, a new chassis, a new electrical architecture, new technologies and a new interior and exterior design. The vehicle thus set unrivalled standards for the now highly competitive luxury GT sector. Over the past 20 years, Continental GTs have broken speed records and won championships and endurance races around the world. Globally, the Continental GT is the second most popular Bentley model (after the Bentayga) - one in three Bentleys sold is a Continental GT. At the beginning of next year, the 100,000th example of this now legendary grand tourer will be hand-built at the Bentley Dream Factory in Crewe, England.

Our whistleblower system

Compliance with legal regulations, internal rules, the principles of our Code of Conduct and the Code of Conduct for Business Partners is a top priority at Porsche Holding Salzburg. The success of our company is based on integrity and compliance. In order to live up to this claim, it is important to learn of possible misconduct by our own employees or those of our suppliers and to prevent it. We have therefore commissioned the Central Investigation Office to operate an independent, impartial and confidential whistleblower system for us.

An important pillar of our whistleblower system is the principle of fair proceedings. It guarantees the greatest possible protection for whistleblowers, those affected and employees who are involved in investigating the reported misconduct.

This also includes offering opportunities for anonymous reporting and communication. We ensure that we do not take any measures to identify anonymous whistleblowers who do not abuse our whistleblowing system. Discrimination against whistleblowers and all persons who contribute to investigations at Porsche Holding Salzburg will not be tolerated. Those affected are presumed innocent until the offence is proven. Investigations are conducted with the utmost confidentiality. The information is processed in a fair, fast and protected procedure.

How do we process your tip?

Qualified and experienced employees of the Central Investigation Office thoroughly check all reports of potential serious breaches of regulations by employees of the Volkswagen Group and systematically investigate them. Firstly, you will receive a confirmation of receipt. The Investigation Office will then assess your report. This includes obtaining information from the whistleblower in particular. Only if this leads to an initial suspicion of a potential serious breach of regulations will a suitable investigation unit be commissioned to investigate the case. Once the investigation has been completed, the Investigation Office evaluates the results and, if misconduct is found, makes an appropriate sanction recommendation. You will be informed immediately about the processing status* of your report and the outcome of any investigation.

Potential violations of the Code of Conduct for Business Partners, including serious risks and human rights and environmental violations by direct and indirect suppliers, can also be reported to the Central Enlightenment Office. This also applies to other reports that require immediate action by the company. The Investigation Office informs the responsible departments, which process the matter accordingly. This includes, in particular, measures required to minimise or end violations and/or risks.

Further information on the rules of procedure for the Volkswagen Group's complaints mechanism can be found at here.

* The processing time may vary and depends, among other things, on the subject of the notice.
