Continental
GT Introduction
A coupé worthy of the GT name. Inspired by
the grace and power of Bentley’s thoroughbred
bloodline, the Continental GT and new Continental GT
Speed combines phenomenal power, class-leading performance
and contemporary design with handcraftsmanship in true
Crewe tradition. |
 |
|
The Continental GT Speed
is the most powerful production Bentley ever and the first
to top 200mph (322km/h). A potent addition to the
Continental Series, the GT Speed 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.
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 Wheels
A wide range of alloy
sports wheels can be specified for your Continental GT
and Continental GT Speed. Your choice of 19” or
20” wheels in chrome or painted finish will be
guided as much by aesthetics as by its impact on the
dynamic handling and the driving experience you prefer.
Please note that the 20'' multi-spoke alloy sports
wheels in painted finish are available on the Continental
GT Speed only.

Continental GT Performance
The power of the 12-cylinder, 6-litre, twin-turbocharged
engine is staggering; the drive, utterly thrilling. The
performance boundaries have now been extended.
The Continental GT Speed develops maximum torque of
750Nm (553 lb-ft) at 1600rpm, translating to an immediate
sensation of power as the accelerator is touched. The
torque is more apparent with an increased overtaking
performance.
Torque is the force that changes a steady state of motion,
unlike power, which is the force that maintains it. When
you accelerate it is the torque that you feel changing
the rate of motion, not just the power. In a Bentley,
torque is very much in the foreground of the driving
experience. It is particularly appreciated at low revs,
giving an impression of effortlessness, a sense that
endless reserves of power remain.
Enhancements to the electronic stability programme (ESP),
with the addition of a new “Dynamic Mode” allow
the Continental GT Speed to reinstate torque more quickly
after the traction control system is triggered. This
gives greater control to a spirited driver and the ability
to exploit the full potential of the new engine.

Continental
GT Engine
The most powerful Bentley production car ever, the
first to top 200mph (322km/h).
With its highly efficient W12 engine delivering 600bhp
(610PS/449kW), the Continental GT Speed offers a 9 percent
increase in power, making it the most powerful Bentley
production car ever.
|
|
|
The Continental GT Speed
provides a harder-edged, more sporting Bentley driving
experience, delivering performance figures of 0-60mph in
4.3 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds) and effortless overtaking
performance between 50-70mph in just 2.3 seconds (80-120km/h
in 3.0 seconds).
The new Continental GT Speed engine also benefits from
improved CO2 emissions and improved fuel consumptions as
a result of an overall improved engine efficiency.

Safety
& Security
Advanced active and passive safety systems enhance driver
confidence behind the wheel.
|
|
|
Safety
Self-adjusting air springs and electronic dampers operate
independently for each wheel. All-wheel drive promotes
advanced traction. And the largest front brakes to
be found on any passenger car in the world provide
commensurate reassurance at the touch of the pedal.
To increase stability, the Continental GT is fitted with
a discreet retractable aerofoil that deploys automatically
at speed.
Security
Laminated glazing, GPS tracking*, multi-function alarm
system featuring immobilisation, exterior and interior
sensing, glass break and inclination sensing, all
provide additional peace of mind. |
