  Bentley Launch Fastest Model In Their History

  Bentley have sold many Continental models over the years. The luxury coupe is often snapped up by footballers, celebrities or just people with a little too much money. Despite the company the car keeps it is a brilliant and a very capable machine. The Continentals latest incarnation offers more power but less weight, not to mention a V8 option. But let’s be honest here… It is the GT Speed variant we have all been waiting for.

  Turning the Bentley Continental from a luxury cruiser to a ballistic missile is the 2012 GT Speed. This is the fastest Bentley ever produced as its 616BHP W12 engine willpropel the car to 205MPH. This British brute also churns out a biblical 590lb-ft of torque aiding it in a 0-62MPH sprint of just 4 seconds. Stiffer suspension, sharper steering and a retuned gearbox complete the package. The GT Speed will cost you £160,000 making it £20,000 cheaper than the recently unveiled Vanquish from Aston Martin. Though this is more of a sledge hammer to the Aston’s elegant cheese knife, there is no doubt that Bentley are looking to be very competitive.
