			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fresh from their assembly lines, Bentley will reveal to the auto world the newest member of the Speed range of Continental GTC during the Detroit Auto Show.</p>
<p>The new GTC Speed boast of a more powerful beast under its hood, a 600 horse power with 553 lb-ft torque 6.0L twin turbocharged engine. Over its older sibling, this version of GTC Speed is stronger by 48 hp and 74 lb-ft of torque.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18" title="bentley continental gtc speed" src="http://bentleyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/bentley-continental-gtc-speed-550x366.jpg" border="1" alt="bentley continental gtc speed" vspace="2" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p>The newest member of the Speed portfolio is the most powerful Bentley convertible to date. It can zoom from 0 to 60 miles per hour in a blink of 4.5 seconds.  Its top speed when its roof is retracted is 195 mph. It can blaze on the road at 200 mph when it is closed.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-17" title="Bentley Continental GTC Speed, side" src="http://bentleyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/bentley-continental-gtc-speed-side-550x330.jpg" border="1" alt="Bentley Continental GTC Speed, side" vspace="2" width="550" height="330" /><br />
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-25" title="Red Interior Bentley Continental GTC Speed" src="http://bentleyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/red-interior-continental-gtc-speed-550x330.jpg" border="1" alt="Red Interior Bentley Continental GTC Speed" vspace="2" width="550" height="330" /></p>
<p>The standard release of the new version is equipped with a better steering system that responds faster. Ride quality is also improved a lot with minimal friction design of the dampeners. The bushings of the rear axle were also made stiffer and the total ride hide made lower to further enhance performance.</p>

<p>The air intakes of the GTC Speed were also made larger coupled with a more upright front end design and squarer edges.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-24" title="Front Bentley Continental GTC Speed" src="http://bentleyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/front-continental-gtc-speed-550x330.jpg" alt="Front Bentley Continental GTC Speed" width="550" height="330" /></p>
<p>The GTC Speed smiles with a dark front grille and rolls on the road with 20-inch wheels fitted with Pirelli P-zero tires. A lip spoiler on the rear portion was incorporated as a standard issue.</p>
<p>The interior is a design focused on elegance. The three-spoke steering wheel, finely quilted leathers, alloy pedals, and shimmering side sills say it all.</p>
