Introduced in 2007, the Bentley Continental GT Speed is the ultimate combination of luxury, comfort and performance. The third edition offers the strongest performance orientation with the highest capability.
Spurts to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds
The revised 6-liter W12 biturbo engine delivers a maximum torque of 900 Nm and a maximum output of 659 hp. This allows the coupe, which weighs a good 2.2 tons, to accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds, and a top speed of 335 km/h is quoted.
In keeping with Speed tradition, the gear changes of the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission in Sport mode are twice as fast as in the standard W12 model. Sporty side sills also visually indicate the increased dynamism of the GT Speed.
Best handling properties in every area
Chassis highlights include all-wheel steering, active 48-volt roll stabilization, the newly developed carbon ceramic brake system and 22-inch Speed wheels. The new steering system, together with the dynamic ride system and electronically controlled limited-slip differential, ensures agility at a high level in Sport mode.
Depending on the driving mode, the electronic stability control gives the driver greater freedom. When ESC is activated, the vehicle offers reassuring stability on any surface.
Center console in dark tinted aluminum finish
Handcrafted materials - lots of leather and Alcantara - give the interior an extremely high-end feel. The luxurious interior can be customized with a choice of 15 primary and eleven secondary leather colors. The center console can be designed in a new, dark-tinted aluminum finish.
Equipped with exquisite details such as the Bentley Rotating Display, the new GT Speed perfectly complements the performance range of the Continental GT model series. Prices are not yet known.
