2008 Bentley Continental GT Speed
The Continental GT Speed is the most powerful production Bentley ever and the first to top 200 mph. A potent addition to the company’s highly successful Continental series, the GT Speed extends the appeal of the Continental GT coupe to driving enthusiasts who place a high value on outright performance and agile handling.
The principal changes to the frontal appearance are common to both the GT and
the new GT Speed. The subtly revised front grille, now more vertical, has a more
pronounced square edge accentuating the GT’s distinctive Bentley profile.
Beneath the grille, the all-new lower bumper design features a wider central air
intake that emphasizes the sporting stance of the new models. Chromed bezels
around the headlamps complement the new frontal design.
The Continental GT Speed is distinguished from the Continental GT by its
dark-tinted chrome matrix grille to the main and lower air intakes. Bright
chromed grilles may be specified at no extra cost. At the rear, a black lower
bumper valance and wider, rifled exhaust tailpipes emphasize the GT Speed’s
sporting character, reinforced by new multi-spoke 20-inch sports alloy wheels.
As an option, these may be specified with a dark chromed finish.
