Released in 2009, Bentley Continental GTC Speed incorporates the same engine as the GT Speed and the Flying Spur Speed.

Bentley Continental GTC Speed

Born of the same heart as the Continental GTC but with a different soul. Darker. Sportier. Tauter.

The Bentley Continental GTC Speed benefits from a dark chrome grille, 20″ multi-spoke sport wheels, twin rifled sports tail pipes.

Inside lies a world of contrasts; Mulliner diamond quilted leather seats, knurled chrome sports lever encased in hide, 3-spoke leather steering wheel with aluminium inlays.

A lowered ride height delivers a richer driving experience, enhanced by the new Sport mode on ESP.

Agility matched by greater body control, improved handling dynamics and superior grip.

A new rear fixed spoiler provides improved aerodynamics. Then that sound again, a richer, sportier exhaust note filling your ears.

Unlike a conventional 12-cylinder engine with two banks of 6-cylinders, the Continental GTC’s 6-litre engine is configured in four banks of 3 cylinders in a W formation. The result is a shorter and much more compact unit which allows for significantly more interior space and improved dynamics.

But its size is deceptive. Twin turbochargers boost the power output to an astonishing 600bhp (449kW). Its supercar status is underlined by a top speed of 200mph (322km/h) with the roof up and a 0-60mph time of just 4.5 seconds.

The Continental GTC Speed is built to conquer continents in true Grand Touring tradition, with endless power in reserve.

Traditional features like the bulls-eye air vents and the organ stop controls are exquisitely framed by wood veneers.

Premium grade leather hide is also employed to soft surfaces, including the trim around the sporting gear selector and hand-stitched steering wheel.

Knurled brightware controls and a choice of premium wood veneers exemplify the craftsman’s touch.

The Bentley Continental GT is a two-door ‘two plus two’ grand touring coupe.

The Continental GT’s 6-litre engine is configured in four banks of three cylinders in a W formation.

The result is a shorter and much more compact unit which allows for significantly more interior space and improved dynamics.

Twin turbochargers boost the power output to an astonishing 552bhp (411kW/560PS), however the Continental GT benefits from internal efficiency improvements resulting in a reduction in CO2 emissions and fuel consumption.

Its supercar status is reconfirmed by a top speed of 198mph (318km/h) and a 0-60mph time of just 4.6 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.8 seconds)

Bentley Continental GT

The Bentley Continental GT offers 650Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque at just above an idle and available throughout the engine rpm range, to reconfirm that few other coupés offer such an effortless curve of controlled power.

A handcrafted sanctuary designed to heighten the ultimate in Grand Touring experiences.

The standard range of 16 exterior paint colours appeals to a wide variety of tastes. A bespoke exterior paint match service to personal specification or additional colours from the Arnage range are also available. All colour combinations are available on the Bentley Configurator.

It takes as many as 14 hides – and 135 metres of thread – to trim the inside of a Continental GT. Burr Walnut with its intricate natural patterns is the standard wood veneer with six other styles of handcrafted unbleached wood veneer also available.

The Bentley woodshop prides itself on a centuries old tradition of handcrafting wood veneers from the finest natural materials.

In the two weeks that it takes to prepare the wood for the interior, the veneers are given five coats of lacquer and three days of curing time before being wax polished by hand. Bentley uses no bleaching; the rich colour of the wood veneers is entirely natural.
