Bentley’s latest grand tourer sets a new benchmark in interior design, fusing sustainability, craftsmanship, and contemporary luxury
(RestOn, VA / Crewe, 10 June 2025) – Bentley Motors continues to affirm its leadership in automotive luxury as the Continental GT Speed First Edition is named Best Interior in the 2025 Robb Report “Best of the Best” Awards. This latest accolade reflects Bentley’s enduring mastery of design, its commitment to innovation, and its ability to redefine modern luxury through thoughtful craftsmanship and advanced material application.
Celebrating its 37th year, Robb Report’s Best of the Best Awards spotlight global excellence across the luxury spectrum—from haute couture and fine dining to superyachts and automobiles. For Bentley, the recognition adds to an already remarkable awards lineage, following wins for the Flying Spur, Batur, and Continental GT S in recent years.
At the heart of the award-winning Continental GT Speed First Edition lies a bold evolution of Bentley’s signature design language. The interior is a symphony of exquisite detail, seamlessly merging cutting-edge technology with timeless artisan techniques. A heightened focus on sustainability and material innovation underpins the model’s design narrative—setting a new benchmark for contemporary cabin architecture.
“The Continental GT Speed First Edition not only carries on but advances Bentley’s tradition of creating among the most sumptuous and satisfying interiors of any carmaker,” said Viju Mathew, Robb Report Automotive Editor.
From intricately quilted seating to open-pore veneers and sustainable heritage leather in Ox Blood tones, every element has been curated to elevate both visual and tactile luxury. The integration of 3D-printed rose gold accents and AI-powered hide inspection exemplifies Bentley’s fusion of tradition with state-of-the-art innovation—pushing the limits of what’s possible in automotive design.
Mike Rocco, President and CEO of Bentley Americas, noted:
“This award is a testament to the enduring appeal of Bentley craftsmanship. We’re honoured by Robb Report’s recognition and proud to deliver a design that resonates so strongly in the Americas and globally.”
The First Edition specification introduces new levels of cabin personalisation through Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house bespoke division, allowing customers to tailor every surface to their own tastes. This includes expanded veneer options, contrast stitching, and bespoke inlays—each finished with the same care that defines Crewe’s legendary coachbuilding heritage.
This year’s win follows a series of consecutive recognitions by Robb Report, including Best Sedan for the Flying Spur, Best Interior for the Batur in 2024, and Best Grand Tourer for the Continental GT S in 2023. The Continental GT Speed and Flying Spur Hybrid also received accolades in 2022.
As Bentley moves toward an electrified future, the Continental GT Speed First Edition exemplifies the brand’s unique ability to evolve without compromising the integrity of its luxury DNA. With its bold interior vision, sustainable craftsmanship, and remarkable detail, it stands as a statement of where Bentley is headed—and the standard it continues to set.
