The
Continental GT Speed is the most powerful production Bentley
ever and the first to top 200 mph. The GT Speed is the most
potent model in Bentleys Continental series.
The exterior styling of the Continental GT Speed is defined
by a wider, lower air intake and more upright radiator grille
that also provides increased airflow to the 600 bhp, twin-turbo,
W12 engine which develops 15 percent more torque and nine percent
more power than the standard Continental
GT, while engine efficiency is optimized by the use of lower
friction, lighter-weight components and a new engine management
system. At the rear, a black lower bumper valance and wider,
rifled exhaust tailpipes emphasize the GT Speed’s sporting
character, reinforced by new multi-spoke 20-inch sports alloy
wheels. As an option, these may be specified with a dark chromed
finish.
Complementing the Continental GT Speed’s high performance
is its unique chassis that delivers tauter handling and improved
agility. Fade-resistant carbon ceramic brakes are available
as an option. Subtle design touches, including a dark-tinted
front grille and larger sports tailpipes, reinforce the sporting
character of the Bentley Continental GT Speed.
The Continental GT Speed’s cabin is based on that of the
Mulliner Driving Specification (a cost option on the standard
GT). It includes a choice of veneers (Burr Walnut, Dark Stained
Burr Walnut and Piano Black), Diamond-quilted hide seats with
embroidered Bentley emblem, indented hide headlining, a sports
alloy gearlever, three-spoke multi-function sports steering wheel, drilled alloy foot-pedals as well as ‘Speed’
logos to the treadplates.
