The GT speed is capable of hitting 0-100km/h in 4.1 seconds and goes up to a top speed of 332km/h. This makes the new Continental GT Speed the most powerful Bentley to go into production ever.

The car Bentley had displayed at the exclusive show in New York City was in a striking one-of-a-kind metallic blue colour with bright red accents on the front splitter, the skirting, the apron and the door mirrors in addition to the interior trim.
