Powerful W12 Engine – It is powered by a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine, meticulously tuned to produce around 552 horsepower and over 664 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most potent engines in Bentley’s lineup at the time.

Sporty Exterior Styling – Exclusive design elements such as a blacked-out grille, distinctive badging, and larger alloy wheels set the GT Speed apart visually from its more sedate counterparts, underlining its performance credentials.

Specialized Suspension Tuning – With a finely tuned suspension system, the GT Speed offers sharper handling and a more responsive ride compared to the standard Continental GT, enhancing driving dynamics without sacrificing comfort.

Luxurious, Customizable Interior – Inside, Bentley marries high-performance cues with opulent craftsmanship. Premium materials, bespoke trim options, and unique sport accents create an interior that is both refined and driver-focused.
