Bentley has launched the new Continental GT Speed coupe.

It is the most powerful production Bentley ever and the first to top 200mph.

The Speed is a more honed sporting model of the four-wheel drive Continental GT coupe.

It takes its name from the legendary Bentley ‘Speed’ models of the1920s.

The W12 engine has been tweaked to provide 9% more power (up to 600bhp) and 15% more torque than the standard 552bhp Continental GT. Overtaking should be truly effortless.

CO2 emissions are 396g/km.

Other changes include a more upright grille, wider 20 inch alloy wheels and larger sports tailpipes.
