Bentley Continental GT Speed 2021 review | On track in Bentley’s finest and fastest | Autocar

How do you make one of the world’s greatest GT cars even more exciting? Wind up its engine to 650bhp, of course. This is the new Bentley Continental GT Speed, the fastest and most outrageous version yet of Bentley’s svelte grand tourer. The headline figure is that 650bhp powerplant, which is good enough to give the 2273kg GT Speed a top speed of 208mph and a 0-60mph time of just 3.5 seconds. But that’s not the half of what makes this car so special. The Speed gets, for the first time on a Continental GT, a limited-slip differential at the rear with clever torque vectoring, and rear-wheel steering, which make what is a heavy, front-engined car (the W12 is , don’t forget) much more dramatic and agile. This is a GT that likes to oversteer.
