Ahead of its official debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, Bentley has revealed the 2013 Continental GT Speed Convertible - the world’s fastest open-top four-seater.
The car gains the same exterior modifications that are found on the coupe. A dark-chrome finish on the matrix radiator grille; exclusive 21-inch alloys; 'rifled' exhaust tips and a black enamel background for the winged “B” badge.
The GT Speed Convertible interior stays in line with Bentley's Mulliner Driving Specification package with its characteristic quilted diamond pattern leather. There's also an exclusive dark tint aluminum “engine spin” inserts on the dashboard, a Naim audio system, an infotainment system with a 15Gb data capacity and an optional carbon fiber trim.
The suspension has been lowered by 10mm compared to the regular GT, updated air springs and dampers, the double-wishbone and multi-link rear suspension are tweaked.
The Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible is equipped with the same 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine that produces 616 hp (460 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque from 2,000-5,000 rpm. While delivering a 15-percent improvement in fuel efficiency compared to its predecessor.
It's good enough for a 0-60mph time of 4.1sec and a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h). Estimated fuel economy is 12 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway and is still subject to EPA certification.
