If I sold my house I could have one but then I would have to live in it.

At least I could drive to a public toilet very quickly!

The Speed certainly has the numbers and quite a serious price tag.

It looks good in the flesh but for $30K less you could have a DB9 which is a far better GT all round.

Although I haven’t driven the Bentley, I’ve had a good look inside and you can believe me when I say there is bugger all leg room in the rear in fact, the Aston might have a touch more.

Nonethless, it’s a stylish set of wheels with a 7 star luxury fit out.

I agree, the rear of the car leaves a lot to be desired, the lights just… I dont know, it almost appears a little like a bubble car. I don’t know what they were thinking

I LOVE the SISTER of this vehicle, the Sedan version

Same powertrain, same performance, much better looking with more room AND CHEAPER!!

Cheers

F-O

PS Bentley are working on a cheaper and bit slower vehicle, out soonish!

Styling wise I rate the front…. side on its good…. rear doesnt do it for me. And if you were paying big bucks you really wouldnt want one single aspect that you disliked! But hey Im relatively young and somehow I doubt im its target market!!!

Its a great car, but i would perfer the flying spur, the only reason is that i see a bentley as a car which is not a race car but a comfortable crusing in the backseat.

If i wanted a quick GT coupe i would get a DB9

Sorry i hate to do this again, but the Bentley Continental GT Speed has Twin Turbo 6.0Litre W12 engine not a V12

I dont know, for the price, the Aston Martin DB9 is the better buy, maybe not as fast, but definitely a much better looking car.

I think it’s stylish, very impressive, and commands respect. The kind of car that makes you feel a little less important when it’s beside you at the lights.

yes they are monsters on the road, they look so subtle and subdued until the V12 twin turbo comes to life, it is a rocket! the car weighs 2300kgs and anything that can get to a 100 in 4.5 seconds with that much weight… is a work of art.
