First Drive on Road 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed Not surprisingly you do. Unless of course you choose the Aston Martin Vanquish, Maserati Gran Turismo, Ferrari FF or any amount of other options offered to folks who won't bother about the $217,725 sticker cost. There are plenty of fantastic selections up here within this finish with the 2 2 market. Of them, the Bentley may perhaps be just about the most relaxed for daily driving combined with an occasional throttle whomp. The others may perhaps be more sporty to drive. Try out them all. You've until finally the Speed's November arrival in showrooms to determine. Bentley also turns up the turbo improve by slightly over four psi (to 28 psi) resulting in a 49-hp increase in excess of the regular GT W-12 and 16 extra hp in comparison together with the final GT Speed. The enterprise reckons that’s ample power to chuck the GT Pace to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds (we agree) and electrical power the tremendous coupe up to the aforementioned top speed, that is the highest ever claimed for any Bentley. Due to a fresh Bosch engine-management strategy and the new ZF eight-speed automated, the GT Pace generates 15-percent-less CO2 and shotguns much less premium fuel, although that signifies EPA ratings of twelve mpg within the city and 19 mpg about the highway. Driven by Bentley's iconic 6-litre twin-turbo W12 engine, the GT Pace develops 625 PS (616 bhp) at 6000 rev/min - up 50 PS versus the normal Continental GT - with 800 Nm (590 lb.ft) of torque accessible from 2000 to 5000 rev/min (up a hundred Nm) for instantaneously available superior overall performance. Coupled having a new ZF eight-speed close-ratio automated transmission and state-of-the-art engine management software package, the GT Speed despatches the zero-to-sixty sprint in four.0 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.2s), reaching 100 mph (160 km/h) from a standing commence in just 9.0 seconds. In-gear acceleration is equally breath-taking.
