British automaker Bentley introduced a compinental GT Speed with a new generation. In the company, a novelty is called the most dynamic and sports-oriented road model in the entire history of the brand.
Recall that the current Bentley Continental GT of the Third Generation was presented back in 2017, and now four years later, finally debuted the sporting version of the model with the traditional Speed to the manufacturer in the title. A new product that is more technological, more powerful, faster and dynamic than its predecessor is already available for ordering in most countries.
The new Continental GT Speed became the first model of the British brand with electronically controlled by the ELSD rear differential interlock. It is also the first coupe with a full chassis. Until now, actuators for piring the rear wheels were only at the Flying Spur sedan, but they are only designed to improve maneuverability. The Continental GT Speed setting is different and should endow the car to more lively handling, although at low speeds the rear wheels are printed in the same way in the antiphase with the front to reduce the rotation radius.
Bentley Continental GT Speed received an upgraded 6.0-liter W12 motor with two turbines, the capacity of which is 660 hp This is 25 hp More than the standard Continental GT. The torque remained unchanged - 900 nm. The motor is combined with a modified 8-speed robotic gearbox with two clips, which switches the transmission twice as quickly by the transmission of the usual Conti GT.
The coupe can accelerate up to 100 km / h in just 3.5 seconds, and the maximum speed reaches a mark of 335 km / h. By the way, the Continental GT Speed of the previous generation accelerated from space to 100 km / h in 4.1 seconds and developed the maximum speed of 332 km / h.
We also note that the Speed modification received carbon-ceramic brakes, previously available for SuperSports versions. 10-piston mechanisms are installed in front, 4-piston. Standard wheels - 22 inches diameter instead of 21 inches at the base compartment.
And from the visual differences in the sports version from the usual compartment, we note the black decor on the body (including the radiator grille) and the bare spoiler's blade on the stern. Bentley interior decoration allows you to choose for any model.
The novelty is already available for order. The first buyers from the United States and Europe will receive their cars in the third quarter of this year, and in the fourth quarter a novelty will appear in other markets. The cost of Continental GT Speed has not yet been declared, but it will definitely be higher than the standard Continental GT, which in the US is offered from 202.5 thousand dollars (15.4 million rubles at the current course).
