Bentley Recorded A First Quarter Loss Since 2020

Bentley posted its first quarterly loss since 2020 after being hit by a combination of exposure to US tariffs, disruptions in the Middle East and a slower-than-expected rollout of updated models, including the Continental GT S.

The Volkswagen Group brand lost €26m (£22.5m) in the first three months of the year after revenue fell 30% to €462m, according to figures released by parent division Audi.

The Continental GT S was introduced earlier this year and comes with a powerful hybrid V8 setup, all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, and chassis technology taken from the GT Speed ​​model.

With its 680 hp and 930 Nm, the hybrid powertrain is 130 hp more powerful than that of the previous generation GT S. It delivers 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 3.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 309 km/h.

This high-performance hybrid even surpasses the previous generation W12 Speed ​​powertrain in all parameters of power, torque and performance – while being capable of a range of up to 80 km in pure electric mode.
