Bentley Continental GT GTC Speed First Edition

The Continental GTC Speed in First Edition guise represents the opening chapter of Bentley's current-generation convertible flagship — a rare configuration given how quickly First Edition allocations sold out. This 2024/74-plate example has covered just 4,500 miles, presenting in Mulliner Silver Frost Three-Layer Pearlescent over a Gravity Grey and Light Blue hide interior, a pairing that sits at the more considered end of the GTC palette. The 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 plug-in hybrid powertrain develops 771 bhp in combined form, with the electric motor meaningfully contributing at low speeds before the V8's character takes over — a system that makes this the most refined and most rapid Continental GTC Speed yet, capable of 0–60 mph in around three seconds.

First Edition specification layers considerably onto an already generously equipped car. Notably included are the Mulliner Driving Specification, Continental Blackline Specification, and Touring Specification, complemented by 22-inch Ten Spoke wheels in black painted finish and Pillar Box Red brake calipers — a subtle but effective sport contrast. The Naim Audio system, Bentley Rotating Display, Night Vision, Head-Up Display, and the full active driver assistance suite (Adaptive Cruise Assist Plus, Active Lane Assist) are all present. Heated and ventilated massage front seats are standard First Edition fare, and the Neck Warmer is a welcome inclusion for year-round open-top use.

Retaining a Bentley factory warranty until 2027, this example is effectively a low-mileage demonstrator-level car in First Edition spec that will become increasingly hard to replicate as the production run moves on.
