Bentley Continental GT Speed News

Loses its Head, Keeps its Bespoke Cool This is the 10th anniversary of the Bentley Continental GT, the 5,500-pound shim that pried open the market for bespoke luxury at $150K.

Meeting Bentley's 205-MPH Prince On The Autobahn I'm travelling at the approximate speed of privilege.

Take notice: With a top speed of 205 miles per hour, ...

The 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show is just around the corner, where Bentley is set to reveal its brand-spanking-new Continental GT Speed.

Spy photographers managed to capture a pair of two-doors out testing in the rain, and the ...

It may not be the most interesting news you read all week, but we now have a date at which all Bentley Continentals will be able to gulp down whiskey with the best of 'em: June.( Well, not exactly whiskey, but ethanol's pretty close.)
