A coupé worthy of the GT name. Inspired by the grace and power of Bentley’s thoroughbred bloodline, the Continental GT and new Continental GT Speed combines phenomenal power, class-leading performance and contemporary design with handcraftsmanship in true Crewe tradition.

The Continental GT Speed is the most powerful production Bentley ever and the first to top 200mph (322km/h).  A potent addition to the Continental Series, the GT Speed extends the appeal of the Continental GT coupé to driving enthusiasts who place a high value on outright performance and agile handling.  Even more breathtaking. In even less time.

Power that doesn’t compromise space. Handling that doesn’t compromise comfort. Technology that doesn’t compromise handcraftsmanship. Above all, true Grand Touring performance complemented by the luxury of Bentley legend.

But finding the correct basic seat position for those in the front was only the start. Mindful of the fact that drivers do not all come in the same convenient size, Bentley’s packaging team resolved to ensure that the GT coupe fitted a wider range of potential Bentley customers than any other coupe in its history. And job one in this quest was to travel to New York and measure some professional basketball players. This led to exhaustive adjustment and extension of the seat runners until the car was capable of accommodating people for whom supercars could hitherto not even be considered.
