Bentley Continental GT Speed

No-one ever complained that their Bentley was underpowered, and yet despite a reputation for providing seemingly effortless amounts of shove, there are still those who take their finely-honed machines off to third party organisations for a little under-bonnet tweaking. Naturally, this doesn't play well with the head honchos at Crewe, so the company has assembled its best engineering minds - sharpened by extensive experience at Le Mans - and come up with the Continental GT Speed, an enhanced version of the big coupe that has a couple of impressive boasts. For a start, the 600hp machine is the most powerful production Bentley ever built, a claim that explains the mighty machine's ability to push past the magic 200mph barrier. Interior trim is as exquisite as ever, with the Speed getting a range of upholstery and detail tweaks from the company's esteemed Mulliner coachbuilding division. There are styling changes too, making this the most exclusive 'baby' Bentley yet.
