Many drivers enjoy the thrill of an open air drive. Among Bentley Motors' discerning clients, there are those who wanted to experience open-air drives from time to time. Thus, after launching the latest iteration of the Continental GT Speed, Bentley is more than pleased to unveil the new Continental GT Speed Convertible.

Most Potent Continental GT Speed Convertible

While the Continental GT Speed is touted as the most capable, performance-focused Bentley that won't compromise comfort or luxury, the Convertible adds another element to the equation—open-top experience. This is partly made possible by a tailored, ‘Z-fold’ roof that can be opened or closed in just 19 seconds with a single press of a button.

The updated third-gen Continental GT Speed Convertible is served by a more powerful version of Bentley’s 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 TSI engine. Just like in the Continental GT Speed, this engine offers 650 hp of max output and 664 lb-ft of peak torque. With this power, the convertible can sprint from nil to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 208 mph.

Inspiring Confidence With A New Chassis

Bentley ensured that the open-top experience in the Continental GT Speed Convertible is as dynamic by underpinning it with a new technologically advanced chassis. Thus as tuned, the convertible offers improved cornering dynamics, unrivalled control and accuracy, and uncompromised ride comfort. During a drive, the convertible inspires confidence through increased grip and accuracy.
