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.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
