Bentley GT Speed and New
Black Edition
With even more power and
torque on tap, Bentley's updated GT Speed breaks cover alongside the new Black
Edition version.
Crewe engineers have managed
to extract even more power from the Continental's 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged
W12 unit, which now produces 642 PS instead of 635 PS, with 20 extra Nm of torque.
This brings the total to 840
Nm and as a result, the 0 to 96 km/h sprint time has
dropped to just 3.9 seconds, whereas the 100 km/h mark is achieved in
4.1 seconds.
At the same time, Bentley is
introducing the Continental GT Speed Black Edition, meant to celebrate the
"rich and striking depth" of the GT's sporty character. The 'Black
Edition' is available as both a coupe as well as a convertible and comes with a
high gloss black finish to the exterior brightware, which includes the window
openings and lamp bezels.
Furthermore, you get a set
of all-black 21" five-spoke directional wheels that cover the distinctive
black brake calipers - though you can have the calipers with a red finish as
well. Bentley is also offering contrast colors in the Black Edition for the
front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser - in four different shades:
Hallmark, Beluga, St James' Red and Cyber Yellow which is a brand new shade.
Inside, there's carbon fiber
on the fascia, center and roof consoles, while the dedicated Black Edition
color split eyes the seats and center console. There's also contrasting leather
available in Porpoise, Beluga, Pillar Box Red and the previously mentioned
Cyber Yellow.
The new GT Speed and GT
Speed Black Edition are available to order now, with deliveries starting this summer.
