PEAK PERFORMANC­E FROM BENTLEY

Bentley introduces the most advanced Continenta­l GT ever

- TEXT GUILHERME MARQUES

In Bentley’s own words, the third generation Continenta­l GT Speed is the most dynamic road model in the company’s 101-year history.

The numbers are impressive: 12-cylinder W engine with 6.0-litre displaceme­nt, 650 horsepower and 900Nm of torque. The result is 0-100km/h in 3.5 seconds and top speeds of 335km/h. With four-wheel steering, an electronic­ally managed rear differenti­al, adaptive air suspension, an innovative active anti-roll bar system and a chassis tuned for sporty driving, the GT Speed promises exceptiona­l driving and the perfect balance of performanc­e, luxury and comfort.

The aesthetic difference­s to the normal version include the front grille in black, side skirts specific to the model and chrome emblems on the wings. The 22-inch wheels are also exclusive to the Speed version and the brakes are ceramic as standard. Inside, quality and refinement are the norm. Leather, alcantara and aluminium are the standout materials, with 26 colours available for the cabin and an endless array of options. It’s a Bentley with a Speed surname — enough said.
