Chassis No: SCBCF63W58C058102
MOT: January 2023
Launched in 2007 at Laguna Village Polo and the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Continental GT Speed, available on the two-door coupe platform only, featured an increase in power over the standard W12 being rated at 602bhp with 553 lb-ft of torque. 35kg was shaved off the weight over the normal GT, whilst its lower ride height and revised spring / damper and anti-roll bar settings improved handling. The 0-60mph sprint now took 4.3sec instead of the 4.6sec needed in the regular GT, and the top speed rose to 202mph. This electrifying performance was delivered to the road via 20” alloys with bespoke Pirelli P-Zero tyres. Further developments included the speed-sensitive Servotronic system being retuned, a solid-mounted front subframe and stiffer rear bushings added, and a 'Dynamic' mode for the Bosch 8.1 ESP system introduced. The front grille and lower air intakes were housed in a dark-tinted chrome matrix whilst wider rifled sports exhaust tail pipes adorned the rear.
Finished in Silver with contrasting Black leather upholstery, multi-spoke alloy wheels and interior wood accents, ‘YJ58 CXY’ has covered just 54,500 miles from new. A stunning looking machine, the Continental GT benefited from replacement rear exhaust boxes and repainted brake calipers in 2019. Treated to the last of eleven services during July 2020 (circa 1,400 miles ago), there can be few such inexpensive entries to 600bhp and 200mph-plus motoring! Steeped in history, it is almost a century since the ‘Speed’ moniker was first applied to a Bentley. Then, as now, it denotes a very special motorcar. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, stamped service book and DVLA MOT history (the current certificate being valid until January 2023).
