Here we have a 2008 Bentley Continental GT Speed boasting low mileage & the luxury Mulliner package. The original Continental GT made its debut for 2004. It was the 1st new car launched under Volkswagen's ownership of Bentley & it was developed to expand their annual sales. At launch, it was praised for its build quality, comfort & performance. The Speed variant arrived in 2008 during a mid-cycle refresh. Largely known as a lot of car for the money; it touts timeless & elegant exterior styling, a luxurious interior & a powerful twin-turbocharged 12-cylinder engine. This is the high-performance Speed variant, which bumps the output to 600 HP. The Speed features an adaptive air suspension with a lowered ride height, revised springs & damper settings when compared with the standard GT as well as re-tuned speed-sensitive power steering, 77 lb weight reduction, an appearance package that includes unique wheels & tailpipes, a Dynamic drive mode & more.
The seller reportedly acquired the car in 2020 & is said to be the 3rd owner. It features the Mulliner Driving Specification which added diamond-stitched quilted accents on the seats along with embroidered Bentley logos on the seat-backs as well as a leather headliner, a knurled chrome & leather-wrapped shifter. All is said to be in working order other than the hood sensor requiring replacement.
It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0L W12 equipped with re-mapped engine management software, lightweight pistons & connecting rods and a revised crankcase design in Speed variants. It spins all 4 wheels through a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission & a Torsen center differential. It now shows just 25,993 miles / 41,833 km on the odometer; averaging just 3,000 km per year.
