Bentley Continental GT Speed Achieves Top Speed in Promo Video

Details regarding the ultra-fast Bentley Continental GT Speed were released yesterday, and now, they have released a promotional video in which the car is taken to its 330 km/h (205 mph) top speed. This heavy bruiser of a car, which weighs in excess of 2.3 tonnes, is catapulted from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in around four seconds, courtesy of 616 hp provided by its W12 aided by two turbochargers.
Furthermore, its 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) torque figure makes it one of the best cars in the world for overtaking, as you only need the tiniest gap and you will face absolutely no drama - do stupid things and the inevitable will happen, but otherwise, it will get you out of any jam no matter how big it is. It is a car in which you could easily trek the world and have no problem whatsoever, as it also has four-wheel drive and clever electronics which will always keep it pointing in the right direction.

Another very important addition to the GT is the new 8-speed autobox which is not only quicker and more efficient than the outgoing 6-speed box, but it helps the engine use 12% less fuel than it used to - it’s still a lot, but less.
