Bentley Continental GTC Speed

My blogging friend, Hilary Melton-Butcher of Positive Letters, appeared to be so excited at my post on the Bentley Continental GT...so I decided that I would do a special post for her. Her mother is terminally ill...which is an extremely difficult time for her. So, I thought that her favorite auto the Bentley Continental GTC would be appropriate. The GTC is the convertible version of the Continental GT.

The standard Continental GT is equipped with a 6.0L, twin-turbocharged W12 engine, producing 552 hp., with a top speed of 198 mph (319 km/h).
The GT Speed bumps that up to 603 hp., with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h) and a 0-60 mph time of 4.3 seconds.

The Continental GTC Speed ads a dark chrome grille, 20” multi-spoke sport wheels, twin rifled sports tail pipes. Inside lies a world of luxury; Mulliner diamond quilted leather seats, knurled chrome sports lever encased in hide, 3-spoke leather steering wheel with aluminium inlays.

The price for the GTC starts at £137,000 in England and $237,695 USD in the U.S. The Continental GT Speed is the first production Bentley officially capable of reaching 202 mph (325 km/h).

My take on this car is the it is an exceptionally beautiful exclusive vehicle.
The reason that I picked the Continental GT Speed is that it is faster and looks better with the 20 inch wheels. Hilary tell the driver to take the day off...you will want to take this beautiful machine for a Sunday drive yourself. See the GTC video!
