Overview

Bentley’s fastest ever production vehicle at the time of its release in 2012, the Continental GT Speed took the already powerful, seemingly physics-defying Continental GT and turned it up to 11. Fitted with the Mulliner Driving specification as standard with tuned ARBs, increased power, lowered suspension and larger wheels, the Speed’s headline figure was its power output of 625bhp from the thunderous, yet butter-smooth W12 engine. 

This example is finished in a striking shade of Dragon Red - a special-order colour - and features an excellent specification, full main dealer and specialist history and has covered less than 30,000 miles from new.

If you’re looking for an eye-catching car to dispatch entire continents in comfort at a blistering pace, then you can end your search right here. This is the one; happy bidding!
