Taking the Bentley Continental GT Speed to its top speed

Bentley took its Continental GT Speed to the Northern territory in Australia, handed it over to Australia racing legend John Bowe, and basically set thim loose in the car in a bid to hit the car's top speed.

Taking place on the Stuart Highway, a roughly 2,800km long unrestricted highway, it offers ample space for the Bentley Continental GT Speed to stretch its legs.

Just how fast can it go? Very, very fast indeed, all the way up to its 331km/h top speed. With those sorts of performance numbers, the Continental GT Speed manages to combine supercar performance with supreme luxury.
