Ushering in a suite of new models, this reinvention of the quintessential modern Bentley took the Continental’s peerless craftsmanship, exquisite style and substantial power output and pushed it to an entirely new level. The redesign introduced new technology, greater efficiency, state-of-the-art materials, a sleek new silhouette, and a sportier feel. Among the second generation models, the Continental GT Speed was introduced in 2012 and was designed to embody the perfect balance between exquisite luxury and an exhilarating drive.
In creating the GT Speed, Bentley's chassis engineers brought the car 10mm closer to the ground, laying the foundation for a sportier driving experience than that of the basic Continental GT. Equipped with the Mulliner Driving Specification as standard, it featured diamond-quilted leather seats, indented leather headlining and embroidered winged 'B' emblems on the headrests. Drilled alloy pedals, a knurled sports gear lever, and the Jewel fuel filler cap recall Bentley’s long racing heritage.
With a peak output of 616 bhp, (slightly more than the McLaren F1 when it was first launched) the GT Speed is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds) and rocketing on to a top speed of 205 miles per hour. Offered here, is a superbly presented, 2013 GT Speed supplied new by Jack Barclay, stylishly finished in Thunder Grey paintwork with diamond-quilted Beluga leather interior, lavishly equipped from new, and generating a purchase invoice in excess of £200,000. It has been fastidiously maintained, correctly stored and was most recently serviced in November 2020.
It's accompanied by the original book pack with service book stamped up to date, spare keys, old MOTs and will be supplied with a new V5c once the private registration is removed. Our vendor is a well-known client of Silverstone Auctions and has a small private collection of cars, meaning the Bentley was only used occasionally and has covered just 29,600 miles from new. Recently fitted with four new, model-specific tyres, this lovely example is on the button and ready to be enjoyed by its new owner.
