To the outside world, Bentley’s are luxurious machines both inside and out, however, to those who own them now that they are more than thrones on wheels. You’d be surprised to know that particular Bentley models can breach through the 300 km/h mark and run 0-100 km/h in less than four seconds, impressive for a 2-ton machine.
Bentley has just launched two models that fit that criterion. First up is an updated Bentley Continental GT Speed, previously pumping out roughly 630 horsepower via a twin turbocharged W12 motor, the guys in Crewe have squeezed out an extra 10 or so horsepower to give models an extra kick. Torque inflates up to 820 Nm, and in return 0-100 km/h is estimated at the 4-second mark.
Joining the luxurious line is the all new Bentley Continental GT Speed Black Edition, available in one shade of paint, yep you guessed it, black. Customers can choose between a convertible version or a closed-top coupe model.
Each corner receives blacked out five spoke 21-inch rims to hide similarly themed brake calipers unless red is your colour of choice. Bentley offers dissimilar colours exclusively to this model to add to the front splitter, rear diffuser and side skirts. Before you start thinking black and hot pink would go together, four colour choices are available: St James’ Red, Hotspur, Beluga and a very eye-catching Cyber Yellow.
Standard features return such as navigation, Bluetooth, fully electric front seats, cooling options and so on. As it is a special edition, carbon fibre lines centre and roof consoles plus the instrument panel. Similarly to the exterior, Bentley offers contrasting colours for the exquisite leather seats including the eye-popping Cyber Yellow along with toned down shades such as Porpoise, Beluga and Pillar Box Red.
Bentley is currently taking orders for the new models with the first batch to roll out this summer.
