Design

A tribute delivered in style

Shaped to cut through the air, the Continental GTC Speed exudes racetrack attitude. Much of the brightware – the exterior styling details normally rendered in chrome – is rendered in a dark tint, for a stealthier appearance. The Styling Specification adds a gloss carbon fibre body kit featuring a mirror-matched weave pattern, while the internal components of the front and rear lamps are also treated with a dark tint, for extra presence.

Performance

Experience legendary power

The Continental GTC Speed Edition 12 is one of the most powerful and exhilarating four-seat convertibles on the planet – thanks in no small part to the iconic engine it celebrates. Capable of generating 650 bhp and a massive 900 Nm of torque, it can propel you from zero to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds – acceleration you can hear as well as feel when driving in Sport mode, thanks to the exhaust system’s Adaptive Valve Control. An arsenal of cutting-edge chassis systems come together to harness all this power, from adaptive all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering to torque vectoring, delivered both by brake and electronic limited-slip differential, which enables the car to hug the road tightly when cornering at speed. The Bentley Dynamic Ride anti-roll system, meanwhile, keeps the car stable throughout, while allowing for a softer ride when cruising.
