2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed

The Continental GT Speed W12 carries real significance now that Bentley has moved the Speed nameplate to a hybrid powertrain: this is among the final examples of the twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 in its pure form, a configuration that has defined the Continental GT since 2003. With the next chapter written in electrified architecture, the W12-powered Speed has become a closing statement rather than simply a range-topper.

This 2024 car has covered just 5,431 miles and presents in Extended Range Cumbrian Green — a £6,020 paint option that suits the Continental GT's grand touring brief far better than more obvious choices — over a Saddle and Beluga leather interior with Alcantara headlining. The specification is purposeful: the Naim for Bentley audio system (£7,210) and Bentley Rotating Display (£5,215) are the options that genuinely reward ownership, while 22-inch Speed wheels in Dark Tint, High Gloss Carbon Fibre exterior trim, and the Touring and Front Seat Comfort specifications round out a well-considered build. Bentley's manufacturer warranty runs until January 2027.

The W12 delivers 650bhp and 664ft-lb of torque, with Bentley quoting 3.6 seconds to 62mph and a 208mph maximum. Rear-wheel steering and Bentley Dynamic Ride ensure the Speed remains genuinely engaging on a demanding road without sacrificing the refinement that underpins the Continental GT's appeal as a long-distance machine.
