bentley conti gt / speed questions

[erics]

What is the size of the fuel tank on those?

What sort of range to expect? mpg?

A friend of mine running a regular conti gt tells me that the speed version consumes significantly more petrol?

[erics]

Oh.... And can you take one on a ski trip holiday and or fit winter tyres?

I live where it snows by the meter overnight and the AWD is mighty impressive. Blizzak LM 60 tyres and the GT / GTC have been excellent.

excellent, many thanks... Would love to hear back a bit more in terms of feedback from someone who owns or owned a 2008 conti gt speed...

Talking about a supersports, but would not expect it to be too dissimilar:

• Fuel tank is 90 l
• Getting 8.5mpg in city traffic (best 11mpg, worst 5-6mpg). Not surprisingly,getting better mpg in D than in S mode.
• getting around 15mpg on the open road

I have a 2010 GT Speed. Get 15-20mpg on a mix of motoring from commuting to longer runs. Useful range is 280-350.

In winter I fit a different set of regular Conti 19 inch wheels with Pirelli Sottozero - I use it in all snow and ice conditions (a lot more in here in the US than you'll ever get) and it performs better than my RR Supercharged as a winter car.
