New 600hp Continental GT Speed
The new Continental GT Speed, the most powerful Bentley ever made and an extraordinary addition to the Continental GT series. This is also the first Bentley ever to top 200 mph, with a top speed of 32 6 km/h (202 mph).
The exterior style of the new Continental GT Speed is defined by a wider, lower air intake and more upright radiator grille that also provide increased airflow. Its 600bhp (610PS) W12 engine develops 15 percent more torque and nine percent more power than the standard Continental GT, while engine efficiency is optimised by the use of lower friction, lighter-weight components and a new engine management system. The resultant performance is exceptional, with a top speed of 202mph (326km/h), a zero to 60mph sprint time of just 4.3 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.5s) and effortless overtaking capability.
