And so it begins… 2013 has arrived and Bentley becomes the first manufacturer to show the world what this year has to offer. The new Continental of last year arrived to great acclaim and improved upon the British brands successful formula. As we creep out of winter convertibles become viable again and Bentley knows this very well.

This is the 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible and right now it is the fastest four seater drop-top the world has to offer. It’s 616BHP W12 engine howls to a top speed of 202MPH. 0-62MPH is swiftly taken care of in just 4.4 seconds all whilst occupants are bathed in absolute luxury. New dampers and antiroll bars take care of the car when the going gets twisty. Its twin-turbocharged powerhouse, despite being more powerful than the previous model, is also 15% more efficient.

The new car will go on sale this summer.
