Bentley Continental GT Speed introduced

Bentley has been consistently making fast four seater luxury cars for a while now and the Continental GT Speed is their latest avatar of a seriously fast four-seater luxury lounge. 

Now available in India, the new Bentley Continental GT Speed is powered by a 6.0 litre twin turbo charged W12 engine that generates 625PS of power and 800Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a close ratio eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox for savage acceleration and impeccable cruising ability. 

The end result is 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 325 km/h for the latest sporty four-seater Bentley. 

Bentley also states that the new Continental GT Speed is also 13 per cent more fuel efficient than its predecessor.

The chassis of the Continental GT has been tuned for the ‘Speed’ spec and the suspension lowered to reduce body roll around corners at speeds. The luxury super car also gets 21 inch wheels along with a darkened grille and front bumper intakes.
