Earlier this year at the North American International Auto Show 2013 in Detroit, Bentley revealed the Convertible option, GTC Speed.

Coming back to 2013 Continental GT Speed, the sharp signature design cues distinguish the GT Speed from its stable-mates, including exclusive 21-inch, ten-spoke alloy wheels, dark-tint matrix to the radiator shell and lower bumper grilles and ‘rifled’ exhaust tailpipes. The interiors, as always are bespoke with Mulliner Driving Specification and premium grade hide with a choice of 17 colours.

The GT Speed’s touch screen infotainment system both entertains and informs. At its heart is a 30GB hard drive, which offers up to 15GB of storage space for music as well as a continent’s-worth of mapping data. For the new GT Speed, the infotainment system features Bentley’s latest software upgrades, including refinements such as point of interest mapping, optional satellite landscape imagery, live traffic data and, where supported, digital radio.
