Introducing the Bentley Continental GT Speed
This time, we focus on the updated Bentley Continental GT Speed, which is positioned to become the fastest production car ever produced by Bentley. If speculations hold true, the new GT Speed is expected to achieve a top speed of 206 miles per hour (approximately 330 kilometers per hour). While this may not seem like a significant improvement, it is indeed an enhancement.
Performance Specifications
The GT Speed is powered by a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine that delivers 633 BHP and 620 lb-ft of torque. This represents an increase of 7 BHP and 15 lb-ft of torque over previous models. The GT Speed can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a remarkable 3.9 seconds.
