A person who has chosen a Bentley Continental GT as his car clearly communicates that he has money and that he wants to show it off. Few coupes are so bursting with prestige and style. This year, they added the word Speed to the Continental GT brand, with which they are looking for extra dynamic drivers among their customers.
But first about the legend – the Bentley Continental GT – where the name itself tells the story. It is therefore a grand tourer that crosses the continent and was now intended for leisurely trips with a credit card in your pocket. With the Speed label, it redefines the dynamics of this large coupe. This comes in the form of a four-wheel steering system and an electronic rear differential. At low speeds, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front, allowing for a sharper turn. At higher speeds, the rear wheels turn in the same direction, which allows for more stable maneuvering at high speeds.
The speed badge also means tampering with the twelve-cylinder engine. Thus, the power was increased from 626 to 640 horsepower. Acceleration is now just under 3.5 seconds to 100 km/h. When it comes to numbers, let's suggest that the factory gives a maximum speed figure of 334 kilometers per hour.
Of course, in 2020, it's not all about mechanics, a lot has also been done in the field of digitization, where Bentley is not lagging behind. You'll have to show around for the entry-level Bentley Continental GT Speed 230,000 euros on your account. Which for such a timeless coupe is not even such an amount! In the world of fresh crypto millionaires, well just under 5 bitcoins.
