ahead of geneva’s international motor show, bentley has announced a variation of luxury options and specification updates to its continental family, led by enhancements to the styling, power, torque and performance of the company’s fastest production vehicle: the continental GT speed. the preceding 6.0-litre twin-turbo w12 engine has been pushed even further, now developing 626 brake horsepower and a record 820 Nm of torque. the new bentley continental GT speed coupe reaches a top speed of 206 mph (331 km/h), while the convertible can reach 203 mph (327 km/h) thanks to its revised chassis setup with a lowered and stiffened suspension.

the extra dynamic performance of the continental flagship model is complemented by a more distinctive visual presence. the sharp front splitter, discrete side skirts and elegant rear diffuser are finished to match the exterior.the new GT speed is given a more signature look through the use of a dark tint finish applied to the 21 inch alloy wheels, headlamps and tail lamps. the exterior modifications are completed with red-painted brake calipers and a chrome ‘speed’ badge fitted to the front fenders.

the visual changes continue inside the cabin of the GT speed, starting with a completely new color scheme. starting with a dark monotone interior, accent stripes in a contrasting chroma are applied across the doors, rear panels, fascia wings, inner console and gear lever. matching contrasting stitching is then sewn to various aspects of the cabin, with a new cost option to continue contrast stitching through the diamond quilting of the seats and doors. speed branding is also sewn to the front and rear headrests.
