It was only a matter of time before Bentley introduced a Speed version of its Continental GTC convertible. Debuting at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, the Bentley Continental GTC Speed benefits from some subtle visual changes that improve the "regular" GTC as well.
If the GTC's 552-hp 6.0L W-12 isn't enough for you, try the 600-hp GTC Speed, powered by a twin-turbocharged W-12 that helps propel the Bentley to a top speed of 200 mph. After you wait 25 seconds to lower the top, the top speed only drops by 5 mph, to 195 mph. The GTC Speed has 553 lb-ft of torque -- 15 percent more than a regular-strength GTC. The GTC Speed's six-speed automatic has two automatic modes -- Drive and Sport -- or it can be controlled via steering wheel paddles or by using the gearlever.
Acceleration from 0-60 mph takes 4.5 sec., according to Bentley. The regular GTC is no slug, making the 0-60 mph run in just 4.8 sec.
