Meet the ultimate sports-focused grand tourer. The moment you put your foot down for the first time, you can expect a surge of what feels like limitless acceleration – a relentless wave of power that can take you all the way up to 208 mph (335 km/h).
Style matters just as much as substance, however. Which is why the Bentley Continental GT Speed features a unique aesthetic – a darker, more purposeful edge, based on the judicious use of lightweight, technical materials.
An unmatched balance of luxury and fearsome performance, this is a car to excite you in more ways than one.
This is the most powerful production Bentley ever built, delivering truly astounding performance for a four-seater car. Capable of producing 650 bhp (659 PS) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque, it can propel you from a standing start to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds).
Driving modes include Comfort for relaxed cruising and an enhanced Sports mode, which optimises the engine, transmission and suspension to boost dynamic ability. It even adjusts the W12 sports exhaust to deliver a more thrilling roar when you put your foot down.
Power is delivered predominantly to the rear wheels by default, but the Active All-Wheel Drive system constantly monitors traction levels. The moment it detects changes beneath the wheels, it redistributes power between the two axles accordingly, for maximum performance whilst maintaining a safe grip on the road.
With an electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD), the Continental GT Speed can proactively vary the amount of torque sent from the engine to each rear wheel, allowing you to accelerate out of corners with even more confidence.
Bentley Dynamic Ride is a 48-volt electronic anti-roll system that controls body roll according to the driving situation, keeping the car stable when cornering at speed, while minimising bumps and vibrations in more relaxed cruising situations.
All-wheel steering enables you to overtake effortlessly on the highway while minimising body roll even further. At low speeds, it reduces the car’s turning circle, providing even better manoeuvrability on city streets.
The Bentley Continental GT Speed stands out with its distinctive appearance. The Styling Specification incorporates a Bentley-branded gloss carbon fiber body kit with a mirror-matched weave pattern, while 'Speed' badging and dark tints on exterior details add to the car's allure. The dark matrix front grilles and 22” wheels further enhance its commanding presence on the road.
Inside, the 'Speed' emblem is featured on the treadplates and dashboard, accompanied by a unique colour combination and the standard Colour Specification, offering a wide range of hide and carpet colours from Bentley. The motorsport-inspired Precision Diamond quilting, Dinamica trim, and custom 'Speed' embroidery contribute to the sporty aesthetic, with every detail reflecting the car's athletic spirit, right down to the graphics in the digital instrument panel and the sports pedals.
The driver’s information panel graphics reflect the car’s sporting character, complemented by the optional Bentley Rotating Display. This system allows seamless switching between the central touchscreen and traditional analogue gauges.
The standard Bentley Signature Audio system can be upgraded to the 16-channel Bang & Olufsen or the premium 20-channel Naim for Bentley. The car also supports Apple CarPlay*, Over-the-air map updates, Real-time traffic information, and features a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless phone charging.
The City Specification offers urban driving assistance features, while the Touring Specification includes a head-up display, night vision camera, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist, and Bentley Safeguard Plus for additional safety warnings.
*Apple CarPlay is a registered trademark of Apple Inc.
The Continental GT Speed offers extensive customisation options focused on sporty detail and technical finishes. With 16 standard exterior colours and over 80 extended range and Mulliner Paints options, along with 15 main colours and 11 secondary colours for leather and Dinamica upholstery, the interior can be tailored to your preferences. Additionally, Bentley provides a wide range of hand-finished veneers, including traditional high-gloss woods, contemporary open-pore wood finishes, and striking technical finishes using materials such as carbon fibre and engine-turned aluminium.
