Bentley Continental GT Speed is released, Speed is a bit faster than "normal" Continental GT. Continental GT Speed is powered by a W12 625 PS of power and 800 Nm of torque, and for the first time it is coupled with 8-speed automatic transmission.
This new 8-speed automatic transmission in Bentley Continental GT Speed offers Block Shifting. This automatic transmission is capable of shifting from 8th gear to 4th gear instantly. This usually does not happen with other automatic transmissions.
Bentley Continental GT Speed is capable of accelerating to 100 kph (62 mph) 4.2 seconds with the top speed of 330 kph (205 mph). Consumption ? Combined 14.5 lt/km (19.5 mpg). So Continental GT Speed consumers lots of petrol! If you can pay the price tag, I am sure you wouldn't be bothered with the consumption.
Basically, Continental GT Speed is faster than the normal one and this makes the normal Continental GT less desirable. Why do you want to own a slower Bentley!
