The Bentley Continental GT is one of the most iconic cars on the road today. The Continental name first entered the company's lexicon in 1952 with the R-Type Continental - arguably the world's first Grand Tourer.

With a top speed of 193km/h, it was the fastest four-seater in the world at the time of its launch. Many of the 208 examples produced were coachbuilt by Mulliner - a name that is still closely associated with Bentley to this day.

Today's Continental elegantly fulfils the same grand-touring brief as its forebear. With immense W12 power, a top speed of 332km/h and an unsurpassed ability to cross continents in total comfort, the Continental GT Speed is a truly extraordinary car.
