Updates For The 2017 Bentley Continental GT Speed

During a VIP event in New York, Bentley showed up with its latest version of the Continental GT Speed. Launched in 2007, this version is faster, more powerful and even more luxurious than the original Continental.

For 2017, the Speed gains a few horsepower, enough for it to once again become the most powerful Bentley ever made by the English manufacturer.

Its W12, 6.0-litre engine is once again tweaked to now produce 642 horsepower. The 620 pound-feet of torque are accessed between 2000 and 5000 rpm. Thanks to this increase in power, the Continental GT Speed gets to 100 km/h from a standstill in 4.1 seconds, which is about as fast as a Camaro Z/28… Not bad for a car that weighs 2,300 kg!

Four versions are available: the GT Speed, the GT Speed Black Edition (packing some unique accents and built in small numbers) as well as convertible versions of both cars.

If you are ready to get into the most powerful road-going Bentley ever made, you will have to write a check for more than USD$240,000.
