Bentley Continental GT Speed: What we know so far

Bentley Continental GT Speed: What we know so far

Bentley recently released a teaser image of the Continental GT Speed that is claimed to be ‘the most capable, performance-focused Bentley yet, with no compromise to comfort or luxury’. The teaser also said that the vehicle comes with ‘highly advanced chassis technologies’ and is ‘the most dynamic road car in its 101-year history’. The Crewe-based luxury car manufacturer also announced that the third-gen Continental GT Speed will debut in the coming week, i.e., March 23, 2021.

Bentley also said that the latest Continental GT Speed ‘is the ultimate performance-focused interpretation of the world’s benchmark luxury Grand Tourer’. The automaker has also outlined the vehicle with styling cues specific to the Continental GT Speed, hinting that the car’s underpinnings will be revised to take in a likely enhancement in power.

The regular Continental GT gets Bentley’s 48V active-roll tech, known as Bentley Dynamic Ride. We expect it to be tweaked along with chassis settings, all to make them in line with the Speed tag.

The recent Bentley Speed models use the traditional, tried, and tested 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 powerplant and we expect the new model to carry a similar set-up. The above-mentioned mill makes a maximum power of 626 bhp and a peak torque 900 Nm, all of which will be increased in the new model. Is it possible? Yes, as in the brand’s exclusive Bacalar convertible, the said mill makes 650 bhp of power, so there is a good scope to hike the output.

In addition to enhanced power and performance figures, Bentley will focus on the luxury aspect as well. The teaser image shows a lower ride height, while the Speed units are known to feature deeper front bumper and chunkier rear bumper.

The latest Continental GT will be the fifth model in the line-up, following the V8-powered car and W12 coupe, both are available in convertible versions as well. In the past, Bentley offered the Continental GT Speed models in convertible versions, so we expect the same to happen this time.

Latest Bentley Continental GT Speed price? Though the luxury automaker has not revealed any information on the car’s price tag, it is expected to cost somewhere around RM 945,976.
