An ultra-high performance convertible, the new Continental GT Speed Convertible is capable of 0-60mph in just 4 seconds, with a top speed of 204 miles per hour. But drive with the hood down and a new dimension is revealed: the open air, where every aspect of the comfort and power of the GT Speed Convertible seems amplified. You’ll feel it the moment you grasp the restyled steering wheel, flip through the new knurled paddle-shift gear selectors and drop your foot irresistibly downwards.
Bentley’s engineering team has ensured that the new Speed Convertible W12 engine and powertrain is just as fuel-efficient as the Continental GT. The latest engine management system, an 8-speed transmission with variable power-assisted steering, increases economy and further reduces emissions.
The W12 engine is mated to a ZF eight-speed transmission: designed to handle the extreme levels of torque generated by the W12, the transmission cuts acceleration times by ensuring that the engine is always at the ideal speed for peak torque delivery. This state-of-the-art transmission also features "Block Shifting" technology, capable of shifting directly from(for example) 8th gear to 4th gear for instantaneous response and acceleration.
