The engine is a 6-liter, 12 cylinder W 72 (two banks to 90, each with a V-cylinder 15 ), supercharged by two turbochargers, produces an output of 560 hp at 6100 rpm, and a torque of 650 Nm at 1600 rpm. The traction is a four-wheel drive, changing to six reports electronically controlled automatic with sequential manual can use. Top speed 318 km / h, acceleration 0-100 km / h in 4.8 seconds. 370 dm3 trunk, tank capacity 90 liters.

The Bentley Continental GT car of great success for the English trademark owned by the Volkswagen group, receives an injection of power and a new development. The Biturbo W12 passes from 560 to 600Cv and sees the couple increase of 15%, thanks to a different mapping engine power and some easing of internal components. Despite the almost 2500kg and thanks to wheel drive, the Continental GT Speed is capable of going from 0 to 100km / h in just 4.3 seconds, touching the maximum speed of 326km / h. That figure, noted in official communications, seems to mock the choice of German self most of its sports cars to "only" 250km / h.

Externally we note the new alloy wheels 9.5 20 "and especially the new front bumper with air inlets and increased front grille and burnished. To change the rear end of discharge, increased. Both the GT Speed Continental GT that the "standard" have benefited from some mechanical changes, so as to optimize as far as possible consumption and emissions.
