Crewe, England - The fastest Bentley production car ever has just become even more potent.
Bentley
has made some revisions to its Continental GT Speed and the most
important of these is where it counts. The GT's 6-litre twin-turbo W12
engine has undergone some tinkering, with power rising from 467kW to
472kW and torque up 20Nm to 840Nm, the extra twisting force applied
across the rev range.
It takes 30 dedicated employees over 12
hours to assemble one of these engines, but the finished product gathers
momentum somewhat more swiftly. According to the modest chaps at
Bentley, the new Speed will surge from 0-100km/h in just 4.1 seconds and
reach a top speed of 331km/h.
The other notable revision to the
GT Speed comes in the form of a new Black Edition package that brings
additional glamour in the form of black 21-inch alloy wheels and various
high gloss black finishes. To add further distinction, the front
splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser come in a contrasting colour and
here the client has a choice of Cyber Yellow, St James' Red, Hallmark
or Beluga.
The mood inside is set by a mixture of dark tones and
vivid highlights, with abundant carbon fibre surfacing and unique
contrasting leather colour schemes. The Mulliner GT Design seats and
inner door panels feature diamond quilting, of course.
