It’s called Continental GT Speed, and it’s the quickest, fastest Bentley ever, capable of a 4.3-second 0-60 mph time and 202-mph top speed. Bentley says its new 600-horsepower version of the twin-turbo W-12 has been optimized with lower-friction, lighter weight components to cut fuel consumption and C02 emissions. The new version of the engine gets a 9-percent increase in horsepower and a 15-percent increase in torque, to 553 foot-pounds.

Zero to 100 miles per hour comes up in 10.3 seconds and 50 mph to 70 mph takes 2.3 seconds.

Bentley has reworked the chassis, too, with a lowered ride height, uprated springs and damper settings and uprated anti-roll bars, plus grippier Pirelli P-Zeros on 9.5Jx20 wheels. The Servotronic steering has been improved for better response.

Both the standard Conti GT and the Conti GT Speed have lost 77 pounds, mostly through suspension and cooling system improvements, and the standard car’s engine gets the same treatments that lower weight and friction for better fuel consumption and C02 emissions.

Paying homage to Bentley’s original ‘Speed’ models that first appeared in 1923, the Continental GT Speed will likely make its own mark on Bentley enthusiasts just as its namesakes did.

The wheels are made of alloy and can be specified for Continental GT and Continental GT Speed. The model is available in a color palette of Beluga, midnight Emerald, Havana and Onyx. The Continental GT is made up of 14 hides and 135 metres of thread. The Bentley features such technology as the DVD Satellite Navigation System, a Bluetooth rSAP Telephone system, the advanced keyless entry and ignition technology, multi-zone climate control, electronically adjustable front seats with memory and heating, together with the multi-function steering wheel are some of the features that have been implemented for an unforgettable drive to any part of the world. The Bentley provides an unprecedented safety that ensures a smooth and comfortable journey. The self-adjusting air springs and electronic dampers operate on an independent level for each wheel. The all-wheel drive promotes an advanced traction. There are large front brakes that reassure you of safety and smooth drive. The Continental GT is fitted with a discreet retractable aerofoil that is deployed automatically at speed.

The exterior is not going to surprise you too much with the changes being limited to the front grille and air intakes. The redesigned rear bumpers give and the wider exhaust pipes add to the aggressive stance. These material changes are immaterial to an extent as the sill plates on all four doors read ‘Speed’. The 6.0l, 600bhp, twin-turbo V12 propels it to 100kph in 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 322kph. The Speed now is 10mm lower than the Flying Spur with new 19-inch multi-spoke Pirelli P zero performance rubber. Carbon-ceramic disc brakes are on the options list. The self-adjusting air suspension with thicker front and rear stabilizer bars make cornering and the overall drive as smooth as the dispersal of dandelion seeds. The existing Servotronic steering system has been improved upon for greater response. The radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control has also been revamped with follow-to-stop precision and five time-gap settings.
