Overview
- Bentley updated its Beyond100+ roadmap to keep plug‑in hybrids and some combustion models on sale until at least 2035, replacing its previous all‑electric target for that date.
- Its first battery model, a sub‑Bentayga ‘Luxury Urban SUV,’ will debut late 2026 with deliveries in 2027, with a claim of adding about 100 miles of range in roughly seven minutes.
- A limited‑run Continental GT Supersports will be unveiled in New York on November 13–14 as the lightest, most driver‑focused and first rear‑wheel‑drive Continental GT, with internal‑combustion power confirmed.
- Outlets report the Supersports drops hybrid hardware for a re‑tuned twin‑turbo V8 near 640 bhp and targets a weight around 2,000 kg, though Bentley has not confirmed those figures.
- Crewe preparations include a new paint shop due in 2026 plus recently opened design and logistics centers, with EV prototypes in global testing; reports also point to likely Porsche Cayenne EV underpinnings that remain unconfirmed.
