A potent addition to the Bentley's highly successful Continental series, the GT Speed extends the appeal of the Continental GT coupe to driving enthusiasts who place a high value on outright performance and agile handling. The exterior style of the new Continental GT Speed model is defined by a wider, lower air intake and a more upright radiator grille that also provides increased airflow. Its 600bhp (610PS) W12 engine develops 15 percent more torque and 9 percent more power than the standard Continental GT. Engine efficiency is optimized by the use of lower friction and lighter-weight components and a new engine management system. The resulting performance is exceptional, with a top speed of 202mph, a zero to 60mph sprint time of just 4.3 seconds and effortless overtaking capability. Its unique chassis delivers improved agility, with new, wider 9.5J 20-inch wheels and bespoke Pirelli performance tires as a standard feature. 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 car's sporting character.
