The Appeal

They called it Speed and they meant it. The name wasn’t new - it previously graced the firm’s pre-war racers - but it defined the new high performance version of Bentley’s illustrious Continental GT.

The Speed arrived along with a host of improvements applied to the 2008 model year cars. They were lighter with improved steering and brakes. But the Speed went a big step further. Alongside a power hike to 600bhp - from 550bhp - these rarified cars got sharpened steering, firmer suspension and were lowered. There were also some detail cosmetic tweaks, most notably multi-spoke 20in alloys shod with specially made Pirelli tyres.

This Speed leans into the car’s understated style with its black-on-black colour scheme. There are some great details like the machine finish aluminium dashboard and quilted leather seats with red stitching and embossed headrests.

It is in very good condition and has reportedly been well maintained throughout its life. That impression is reinforced by the long MOT to November 2025 which contains no advisories.
