The 2016 Bentley Continental GT Speed Is Even Faster Now
Bentley just introduced the 2016 edition of the Continental GT Speed as well as a new version, the Black Edition.
The fastest Bentley ever produced has a top speed of 331 km/h. it hits 100 km/h from a standstill in 4.1 seconds, which is as fast as a Porsche Cayman GT4. This added burst of speed comes from a few tweaks under the hood. The car now packs 642 metric horsepower, which is 7 hp more than last year’s version. Torque is also up by 15 pound-feet for a total of 620. Even better: all this torque is available between 2 000 and 5 000 r/min, which makes the car even faster.
Every Continental GT Speed takes 110 hours to build by hand. Every 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 engine is assembled over the course of 12 and a half hours by 30 specialists. The GT Speed is available right now, and the first units should arrive during the summer of 2016.
