Bentley Continental GTC Speed, Fastest Four-Seat Convertible





Bentley has unveiled its fastest soft-top ever, the Speed version of its Continental GTC convertible.

The luxury carmaker took the covers off the new model at Detroit as part of a continued effort to attract younger buyers to the brand.

Like the GT Speed coupe and the four-door Continental Flying Spur Speed before it, the GTC Speed has a turbocharged W12 engine that delivers 450kW and about 720Nm of torque.

The top speed of 315km/h with the roof down makes it the fastest Bentley convertible ever.

Since the GT Speed coupe debuted in 2007, it has become the top-selling GT model worldwide. Bentley expects the GTC Speed to account for up to two-thirds of GTC sales in its first year of production. The GTC Speed goes on sale in the US in July as a 2010 model.
