Is the Bentley Continental GT Speed Fast Enough to Justify Its Name?
Bentley has been making some of the most luxurious supercars in the world for over a century, and the new Bentley Continental GT Speed is one of the fastest luxury cars currently on the market. As its name implies, the GT Speed offers all the luxury of the standard Bentley Continental GT grand tourer, with an extra dose of speed. However, is the new Bentley Continental GT Speed quick enough to justify its “Speed” moniker? Let’s find out just that at Prestige Imports – your go-to used supercar dealership in North Miami Beach, FL.
What’s Under the Hood?
Before we tell you how fast the Bentley Continental GT Speed actually is, let’s look at what’s under the hood.
Powering the Bentley Continental GT Speed is a 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine that churns out a massive 650 horsepower @ 5,000 – 6,000 rpm and 664 pound-feet of torque @ 1,500 – 5,000 rpm.
The Continental GT Speed’s W12 engine is paired with 8-speed dual-clutch transmission with Active All-Wheel Drive and has been tuned to a unique Speed calibration that puts unprecedented power in your hands.
For the uninitiated, the W12 is a twelve-cylinder engine in a W configuration. It uses four banks and has fewer cylinders per bank, making it shorter and wider than the V12. This arrangement allows for more torque compared to the V12.
