The Continental GT Speed, a potent addition to the Continental Series, extends the appeal of the Continental GT coupé to driving enthusiasts who place a high value on outright performance and agile handling. Even more breathtaking. In even less time. Inspired by the grace and power of Bentley’s thoroughbred bloodline, the Continental GT Speed combines phenomenal power, tauter handling and sharper steering response. Greater agility and body control. An enhanced sporting character inspired by Bentley’s heritage of high performance “Speed” models from the 1920s. The Continental GT Speed is the most powerful production Bentley ever and the first to top 200mph (322km/h). Power that doesn’t compromise space. Handling that doesn’t compromise comfort. Technology that doesn’t compromise handcraftsmanship. Above all, true Grand Touring performance complemented by the luxury of Bentley legend.
Exterior
The standard range of 16 exterior paint colours, with the introduction of Granite and Cumbrian Green, appeals to a wide variety of tastes. A bespoke exterior paint match service to personal specification or additional colours from the Arnage range are also available.
