The 2010 Bentley Continental GT Speed is the perfect fusion of raw performance and refined luxury—like a lion clad in a Savile Row suit. It offers exhilarating speed while maintaining an opulent ride, making long-distance journeys effortless. You could cross entire continents, sleep through a storm, and still wake up feeling like royalty. This isn’t just a car—it’s a declaration of arrival without the need for words.
At the time of its launch, the 2010 GT Speed was Bentley’s most powerful coupé, inspired by the marque’s legendary ‘Speed Models’ of the 1920s. Beneath the bonnet lies an enhanced version of Bentley’s 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine, featuring a redesigned crankcase, a lighter camshaft chain, an upgraded cam sensor, and increased turbo boost pressure. The result? A formidable 600bhp (448kW) and 553lb-ft (750Nm) of torque, propelling this grand tourer to a top speed of 200mph. It accelerates from 0-60mph in just 4.5 seconds and reaches 100mph in 10.6 seconds.
The six-speed transmission offers two fully automatic driving modes—Drive and Sport—or can be operated manually, allowing the driver to shift gears effortlessly via the gear lever or steering-wheel-mounted paddles.
Distinctive to the Speed model are its 20-inch alloy wheels, a firmer suspension, and a more aggressive front bumper design. The upright grille with a pronounced square edge and bolder lower air intake further accentuate its commanding road presence. Inside, Bentley’s craftsmanship is on full display, with sumptuous Nappa leather upholstery, contrast seat piping, a rich Walnut dashboard, and chrome accents. The 1,100W Naim audio system ensures an immersive listening experience, while low-friction dampers provide outstanding ride comfort.
This particular 2010 Bentley Continental GT Speed is a stunning example of the ultimate Grand Tourer, presented with a high factory specification and in superb condition throughout. The elegant Sapphire Blue exterior remains in exceptional order, with flawless panel alignment and no evidence of prior damage.
Step inside, and you are welcomed by a beautifully maintained cabin, finished in Tan diamond-quilted leather. The heated, fully adjustable seats show only minimal wear commensurate with the car’s mileage, while the door panels and dashboard present just as impeccably. Luxury refinements such as satellite navigation, cruise control, climate control, soft-close doors, and an automatic boot lid further enhance the driving experience.
To complete the package, this Bentley is accompanied by a fully stamped service book, with routine maintenance carried out exclusively by Bentley-authorised dealers—making it a truly outstanding acquisition for the discerning buyer.
