2022 Bentley Continental GT Speed unveiled
First things first: the new Continental GT Speed (which Bentley claims is “the most dynamic road car” in its history) won’t be available in Europe.
Some of the brand’s customers might be dismayed by such news, because the Speed incorporates numerous enhancements. Power from the 6.0-litre W12 TSI twin-turbo engine is up by 24 PS (24 bhp / 18 kW) to 659 PS (650 bhp / 485 kW) for instance, while peak torque is rated at 900 Nm (664 lb-ft).
That output is delivered to all four wheels via a quicker-shifting eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The result is a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of just 3.6 seconds and an impressive 208 mph (335 km/h) top speed.
Wisely, the chassis has been upgraded too. As well as active air suspension, adaptive damping and Bentley Dynamic Ride active anti-roll control, the specification includes recalibrated all-wheel steering. In addition, an electronic rear differential (eLSD) is fitted to a Bentley for the first time.
In those markets where Bentley is offering the Continental GT Speed, orders are being accepted now.
