Bentley GTC Speed officially unveiled

Bentley has recently pulled the wraps off its latest creation, the GTC Speed, which is the world’s fastest four-seat convertible.

After it leaked just a few days before writing this article, the brand new Bentley GTC Speed, which is the drop-top version of the Continental GT Speed, is being placed into the spotlights once again, this time in an official manner, with the carmaker releasing the first details on it. The Bentley GTC Speed is coming with dark chrome air intakes and radiator grille, with enlarged tailpipes, with additional aerodynamic work in order to increase downforce and with a fresh set of 21-inch wheels which are only available for the cabrio.

The interior design of the Bentley GTC Speed is adding Mulliner spec trim, diamond pattern leather, aluminum and optional carbon fiber. Power to the world’s fastest four-seat convertible, as Bentley is claiming, is provided by a 6.0 liter W12 twin turbo engine, which is producing a total output of 616 BHP and 590 lb-ft of torque, allowing the model to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. The 0 to 100 mph acceleration takes 9.7 seconds. The model will go on sale this summer from 164,000 GBP.
