宾利欧陆GT将在2020款车型增加一款插电混动版本，最近谍照记者就拍到了这辆无伪装车型的谍照。该车搭载一台V6引擎和电机，其动力系统与保时捷帕纳梅拉4E-Hybrid及添越插电混动版共享。换言之，该车在纯电动模式下的续航里程为50公里。该车的车身后部两侧各设有一个普通油箱盖和充电插口，因此看起来比较奇怪。如果使用家用充电接口，完全充满电需要7.5小时，如果使用“工业接口”，完全充满电需要2.5小时。该车与添越一样具备E模式停启开关，可以有三种行驶模式设定，包括电动模式，混动模式和锁定模式。根据不同的模式，仪表群显示内容也进行相应改变，可显示电池状态，冷却温度和其他重要信息。虽然这是一辆预量产版原型车，但最终量产版的外观不会就这样，仍会有混动标志和纯铜质感充电接口和盖板。不过，这辆车已经接近完成测试和开发。虽然宾利并未透露该车功率和扭矩，但预计其功率达到450马力，或许能达到462马力，扭矩可达700牛米。至于价格，现在还无法预计这辆插电混动车的价格。
2020 Bentley Continental GT Plug-In Hybrid Spied Without Camouflage
After the W12 Coupe, the convertible will join the Continental GT family alongside the W12 Speed. Even though there are conflicting opinions on the introduction of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 found in the Porsche Panamera Turbo, the Continental GT is certain to add a plug-in hybrid option for the 2020 model year.
Drawing its mojo from a V6 engine and electric motor, the Continental GT Plug-In Hybrid shares most of the propulsion system with the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and Bentayga Plug-In Hybrid. In other words, the newcomer will be capable of an EV range of 50 kilometers (31 miles).
The charging port door, which mirrors the fuel filler door on the other part of the vehicle, makes the Continental GT Plug-In Hybrid look strangely normal for an eco-friendly means of personal transportation. Charging takes 7.5 hours from a household outlet, or as little as 2.5 hours when matched to “an industrial connection.”
Just like the Bentayga, the Continental GT will ose the stop/start switch in favor of an E Mode selector with three settings: EV Drive, Hybrid, and Hold. Depending on the driving mode, the instrument cluster changes accordingly, bringing up the battery status, coolant temperature, and other vital information of utmost interest for the driver.
Although this pre-production prototype doesn’t have them, the real deal will feature Hybrid badging and copper-painted wheel caps and tread plates. But from the looks of it, Bentley is close to finishing the testing & development phase of this project.
Even though the automaker didn’t slip a word on output and torque, it’s best to expect more than 450 horsepower from this setup, maybe 462. As for torque, the system output could be rated at 700 Nm (516 pound-feet) of torque if we take the Porsche 4 E-Hybrid as an example.
In regard to pricing, it is anybody’s guess how Bentley will position the plug-in hybrid option within the range. There’s no denying the W12 will soldier on as the more expensive drivetrain, starting in the ballpark of $220,000 in the United States of America.
