Unleashing the Darkest Drive - Bentley's Limited Black Edition Brings Stealth and Power to the Continental GT & Flying Spur

A New Era of Bold Elegance

Bentley introduced the Black Edition as a stunning evolution of its Continental GT, GTC, and Flying Spur families. These new models were said to fuse sleek design with electrifying performance, offering an exclusive glimpse into Bentley’s darker side. Limited to just 400 units globally, the Black Edition was reportedly crafted for those who desired a deeper, more dramatic expression of power and prestige.

For the first time in Bentley’s history, even the iconic ‘Winged B’ badge and rear boot lettering appeared in gloss black—a bold move that reflected the carmaker’s confidence in stealth-inspired luxury.

Design that Dares

It was claimed that the Black Edition took Bentley’s Blackline specification to a bolder extreme. A gloss black matrix grille, darkened bumper intakes, and Beluga black front splitter helped define its stealthy presence. Adding to this boldness were gloss black ten-spoke 22” wheels, with an optional duo-tone finish for added contrast. To inject a jolt of color, Mandarin orange brake callipers were offered at no additional cost-an assertive pop against the otherwise all-black exterior.

Crafted from the Inside Out

Inside the cabin, Bentley was said to have wrapped the cockpit in subtle darkness and exquisite detailing. Black Edition branding was embroidered into seat headrests—front only in the Continental GTs, and all four in the Flying Spur. Piano Black veneers and illuminated Black Edition treadplates enhanced the immersive experience, while contrast stitching in a colour of the owner’s choice lent a personal touch.

Performance Redefined

Powering these Black Edition marvels was Bentley’s cutting-edge High Performance Hybrid system-an evolution that blended a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with a 190 PS electric motor. Together, they were said to deliver a jaw-dropping 680 PS and 930 Nm of torque.

Advanced Chassis, Aggressive Soul

Previously reserved for Speed models, Bentley’s Performance Active Chassis system was now integrated into the Black Edition range. It was said to provide drivers with finely tuned control and remarkable adaptability. Sport Mode could direct 100% of torque to the rear wheels, sharpening agility and driving feel. Firmer damping and recalibrated rear-wheel steering delivered a connection to the road that was as confident as it was exhilarating.

Bentley’s Black Edition models weren’t just a statement—they were a whisper of rebellion wrapped in luxury. Designed for those who don’t just drive, but command, this limited run marked a turning point for high-performance luxury hybrids.
