The car has a 6.0 liter, 48-valve, four-cam, twin turbocharged W12 engine that accelerates the GT Speed to 100km/h in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 205mph (329km/h). It uses an eight-speed automatic transmission that Bentley says improves fuel economy and reduces emissions by 12%.

models, the Speed model has all-wheel drive and Torsen limited-slip differential.
The exterior style is changed slightly with a dark-tinted front grill, lower front air intakes and 'rifled' exhausts. The inside gets the Mulliner Driving Specification as standard, which includes diamond-pleated leather on the seats and doors.
“For nearly a decade, the Bentley Continental GT has defined high luxury, high performance grand touring and the unique W12 engine has been so successful that Bentley is now the world’s largest producer of 12-cylinder engines. The new GT Speed with its harder-edged, sportier character reaffirms this pinnacle positioning and continues to broaden the worldwide appeal of the Continental coupe," said Bentley Chairman Wolfgang Dürheimer.
The Speed name references the car that Bentley sent to Le Mans starting in 1923. Founder W.O Bentley saw the need for a faster version of his 3.0 liter model. He added SU carbs and higher compression.
