For the past five years, Bentley Cyprus has solidified its presence on the island, bringing unparalleled luxury, performance, and craftsmanship to discerning customers. As the brand marks this milestone, it does so with a bold step forward—the introduction of the fourth-generation Continental GT, the most powerful Bentley ever built.

In an exclusive conversation with FastForward, Valentina Pichler, Communications Manager EMEA at Bentley Motors, delves into the evolution of Bentley in Cyprus, the groundbreaking technology behind the latest Continental GT, and the brand’s commitment to sustainability without compromising luxury. She also sheds light on the newly opened Bentley service facility in Limassol, which aims to elevate the ownership experience. Looking ahead, Bentley Cyprus continues to refine its vision, ensuring that the island remains a key player in the brand’s global expansion.

As Richard Leopold, Regional Director of Bentley in Europe, UK and MEAI, commented in the press release: “Our partnership with Bentley Cyprus has given Bentley a firm presence on the island, delivering an unparalleled luxury experience to our clients. This five years celebration coincides perfectly with the launch of the fourth-generation Continental GT and the debut of our Ultra Performance Hybrid in the Flying Spur. I would like to take the opportunity to thank our partner for the commitment and trust in the brand and wish the whole team at Bentley Cyprus another five years of success.”

It is always a pride for us to have long-standing partners in the market and we are congratulating every member of Bentley Cyprus who contributed so far in growing the brand in Cyprus and look forward to the coming five years.

The Continental GT is the most powerful Bentley ever built and offers a blend of  supercar performance, handcrafted luxury and everyday usability.

With an all-new Ultra Performance powertrain delivering a combined output of 782PS and 1,000Nm, from a 600PS 4.0-litre V8 and a 190PS electric motor:

• Matched with the world-leading Bentley interior design, materials, quality and craftmanship.

• Ready to be used either as a coupe or convertible option for customers who appreciate both open topped and closed roof motoring.

• Perfect balance of the car with a 49-51 balanced weight.

The new Continental GT Speed and GTC Speed models both benefit from the new Bentley Performance Active Chassis. This includes Active All Wheel Drive, an electronic limited slip differential, all wheel steering, torque vectoring (front to rear and across the axles), Bentley Dynamic Ride active anti roll system, and a new generation of ESC control software.

The new twin-valve damping brings a number of benefits. The system allows increased force spread between soft and firm settings – the result is reduced compromise between road surface isolation and body control. The damper control ECU now has complete control over independent compression and rebound damping delivering better body control during compression/rebound directional changes. A completely new 400-volt electrical architecture enables the most advanced suite of powertrain technology to be offered by a luxury automotive brand today, delivering emissions of 29 g/km of CO2 and an electric range of 81 km on the WLTP drive cycle.

Bentley Motors is marking the fifth anniversary of its partnership with Bentley Cyprus by introducing the new fourth-generation Continental GT to its customers, reaffirming the brand’s commitment to excellence, performance, and bespoke luxury.  The fourth-generation Continental GT represents the pinnacle of Bentley’s grand touring heritage combining iconic design elements with cutting-edge technology to deliver an unrivalled driving experience. All the GTs are made to be comfortable cross-continental and this model brings a firm presence on the island, delivering an unparalleled luxury experience to our clients. The car would perfectly suit to any type of road.

The fourth generation Continental GT and GTC Speed benefit from the latest generation of electrical architecture, enabling a significant step forward in infotainment and driver assistance technology. This technology is the most advanced in the luxury segment, and extremely competitive for customers coming to Bentley from premium brands.

For example the environment display (shown in the drivers instrument panel) supports and enables driving in semi-assisted mode providing feedback to the driver how the car is responding to other vehicles. The vehicle’s understanding of the surrounding environment allows for Intelligent Park Assist – the latest generation self-parking system with speed control. The technology is not just limited to driving aspects. The air conditioning system has been revised to increase cabin wellness including air ionisers, a new particulate matter filter and displays showing air quality outside and inside the vehicle. The new convenience features will make every journey a more relaxed experience and can be tailored to reflect customers personal preferences. The system also synchronises with the car’s satellite navigation, knowing when it might be necessary to improve cabin air quality (for example by recirculating the cabin air when in a tunnel).

This new venture represents an important milestone in Bentley Cyprus’s commitment to providing exceptional service and elevating the ownership experience for its esteemed clientele The opening of Bentley Cyprus’s official garage in Limassol underscores the growing demand for Bentley vehicles in Cyprus and illustrates the brand's dedication to satisfy the sophisticated preferences of its customers.

The facility offerS a comprehensive range of services, including, after-sales, parts and accessories and maintenance facilities, ensuring that Bentley owners receive the highest level of care and support throughout their ownership journey.

The brand is already well established and Bentley Cyprus is part of the EMEA region at Bentley Motors which incorporates 95X retailers and 41X markets. We strive to provide the best service to our customers and this remains the main focus.
