BEYOND THE NUMBERS, THE AUTOMOTIVE EQUIVALENT OF A PET TIGER

Video Test Drive of the 2014 Bentley Continental GT Speed

The hardware and statistics for the 2014 Bentley Continental GT Speed are so impressive that it would be easy to let them define the car.  Twelve cylinders, twin turbochargers, 616 horsepower, all-wheel drive, 0 to 60 in four seconds - and a top speed of 203 miles per hour, making this the fastest, most powerful Bentley ever built, as well as the fastest four seat convertible in the world.  But while they certainly contribute to the enjoyment, the numbers aren't really what the Continental GT Speed is all about.  This is a big, powerful, handsome car that is equally capable of great ferocity and leisurely luxury, like the automotive equivalent of a pet tiger that lets you scratch it behind the ears as it purrs and growls.
