Luxury car-maker Bentley has long been synonymous with style, luxury and sophistication.
Despite its luxury tag, the auto manufacturer from Crewe, England has a strong racing pedigree from its presence in motorsport (LeMans) and have been building luxury performance vehicles since the 20s with their 'speed' models.
However, none have been as serious, fast and powerful as their latest creation: the Continental GT Speed.
Based on the 'standard' Continental GT first released in 2003, the GT Speed boasts a revised version of the 6-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine that produces 449kW (610hp) at 6,000rpm and a maximum torque of 750Nm at just 1,750rpm.
This is an increase of 9% more power and 15% more torque than the standard Continental GT making it the fastest Bentley ever with a top speed of 326 km/h (202mph) and a 0-100km/h time in just 4.5 seconds.
Other upgrades to the Continental GT Speed includes an unique chassis tune that delivers tauter handling and improved agility with new wider 9.5J 20-inch wheels and bespoke Pirelli performance tyres as standard fitment.

Obviously such brutal power and performance figures requires greater braking and this is available in the form of fade-resistant carbon ceramic brakes as an option.
Subtle design touches, including a dark-tinted front grille and larger sports tailpipes, reinforce the sporting character of the Continental GT Speed.
