2022 Bentley Continental GT GTC Speed

Bentley's Continental GTC Speed in W12 form is the last open-top expression of the company's twelve-cylinder grand tourer, and this 2022 car shows why that matters. The 5,950cc twin-turbo engine produces 650 bhp and 664 ft-lb, enough for 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds and a 208 mph top speed. Rear-wheel steering, Bentley Dynamic Ride and air suspension keep a car of this size composed, while the hybrid Speed that replaces it moves the range away from the W12 for good.

This example has covered just 6,384 miles and has had one owner from new. It is finished in extended-range Tungsten Metallic (a £4,705 option) over Linen hide, a restrained combination that suits the car's character. Dynamic Specification (£43,700) and the Naim for Bentley audio system (£6,725) are fitted, and the original list price was in excess of £307,000. Other highlights include 22-inch Speed wheels in dark tint, high-gloss carbon fibre trim, 24-way heated massage ventilated seats, a head-up display, a full LED matrix headlight set and contrast seat belts.

The car is UK supplied, has paint protection film applied to the front end and comes with a Romans International Platinum warranty.
