Bentley launches 600BHP Continental GT Speed
Bentley has revealed its facelifted Continental GT as well as the new GT Speed, the fastest and most powerful production Bentley ever. Both cars feature a wider and lower air intake plus a more upright radiator grille to improve airflow to the 6.0L W12 powerplant. The GT Speed outputs 600bhp (441kW) and 750Nm (553ft-lb) of torque, 15% more twist and 9% more power than the standard Continental GT. Power is also improved right across the rev-range thanks to lower friction and lighter engine internals plus a new electronic management system. The end result is a 0-60mph time of just 4.3 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.5s) and a top speed 202mph (326km/h). Read Article

They needed this new model. CGT coupes are almost common now. I see many more CGTs than CL65 AMGs, which i would take in a heartbeat over this. I offer my sharpest backhand to anyone who would turn down 704 lb. ft. of torque.

Nice to see the legendary "Speed" nomenclature again.

And of course the horsepower race goes on.

Actually the current Continental GT can already crack 202 easily, banging off redline.

I once read a speed test of the Flying Spurr that could do 201 mph with the car still pulling but there was the redline.

I can't wait to see one of these up close. Pushrod is right the CGT is common but it still looks good. They are everywhere here in Chicago. Around my house all we see are Bentley's Lambo's and I see R. Kelly in his Maybach from time to time. I rarely even see Ferrari's anymore.

MunchichRob, same here, I live OC, I see Bentley, Ferrari, Lambo and Aston Martin everyday. But I only see a Royce Roll and a Maybach every once in awhile.

I heard Bentley is finally ditching the 6-speed Aisin gearbox for the new 6-speed ZF. It can handle up to 1000Nm. Good for tuners.

This is the same gearbox the refreshed Arnage and Brooklands have.
