Bentley Continental GTC Speed
The Middle East isn't the only region to get a pair of special edition Bentleys as the British automaker unveiled the Continental GTC and GTC Speed 80-11 models designed exclusively for North America on the Concept Lawn at this past weekend's 60th Annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. For those wondering about the designation, the 80 stands for the number of units that will be built and the "11" indicates the cars' model year (2011).

And yes, as you probably already suspect, the changes over the standard Continental GTC and GTC Speed convertibles are purely cosmetic. Both cars are offered in a variety of colors including a new and unique finish called "Midnight", combined with a Dark Grey Metallic soft top and the Mulliner fuel-filler cap plus Union Jack brightware badges on the front fenders as standard.

The GTC, which boasts a twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 engine producing 552HP and 479 lb-ft of torque for a top speed of 195mph (190mph with the top down) and a 0-60mph sprint time of 4.8 seconds, also gets new 20-inch 4-spoke alloy diamond wheels, polished with unique black center caps.

The sportier GTC Speed model, which uses an uprated twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 with 600HP and 553 lb-ft of torque for a top speed of 200mph (195mph with top down) and a 0-60mph time of 4.5 seconds, is offered with dark tinted 20-inch alloy wheels displaying red brake calipers underneath.

Inside, the firm's designers dressed the interior in Beluga leather with contrast stitching, piping and Bentley emblems in white on the GTC and Pillar Box Red on the GTC Speed. In addition, both cars get Piano Black trim and engine-turned aluminum dash with a bright finish in the GTC and a dark finish for the GTC Speed.

The "race-inspired" drilled alloy sport foot pedals along with the special treadplates and a badge on the console which are both branded with the "80-11 Edition" signature, complete the look.

Bentley Continental GTC Speed

2010 Bentley Continental GTC Speed The Super Sports Car 600bhp, 6-litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine.

Introduction of the new Bentley Continental GTC range builds on this success with a subtle evolution of its distinctive style and a range of technical and feature enhancements benefiting comfort and customer choice. The appeal of the GTC is further strengthened by the addition of the new 600bhp (610PS) Bentley Continental GTC Speed model. It is Bentley's most powerful convertible ever and inspired by Bentley's legendary 'Speed Models' from the 1920s.

The Bentley Continental GTC Speed is visually distinguished by subtle design enhancements which emphasise its higher performance credentials. At the front, the radiator and lower air intake grilles feature a dark tinted matrix as standard. Larger diameter 9.5J x 20-inch, multi-spoke alloy wheels with Bentley-bespoke Pirelli PZero ultra-high performance (UHP) tyres, lowered and uprated suspension, wider twin-rifled exhaust tail pipes and a new boot-mounted lip spoiler that enhances high speed aerodynamics, reinforce the sporting character of the Speed model.

The GTC Speed's 600bhp (610PS) W12 engine develops 9 per cent more power than the standard GTC. However, it is the 15 per cent increase in torque that really distinguishes the Speed model, which now develops an impressive output of 750 Nm (553lb ft). This is achieved across virtually the complete rev range, from just 1700 to 5600 rev/min, delivering that characteristic Bentley wave of torque.Engine efficiency improvements result from the use of
lower friction, lighter-weight components and a new engine management system, while twin, low inertia turbochargers with minimal turbo lag contribute to the W12 engine's flat torque curve. The GTC Speed engine is visually differentiated by the 'crackle black' finish to the intake manifold.The Continental GTC's steel body has an exceptionally rigid torsional stiffness of around 30Hz that not only minimises 'scuttle shake' but provides a very stable platform for the aluminium-intensive suspension system, optimising its performance. Despite the boost in power and torque for the GTC Speed model, no changes to the body structure were required.

The GTC Speed's cabin is based on that of the Mulliner Driving Specification (a cost option on the standard GTC). It features diamond quilted hide seats with embroidered Bentley emblems, a knurled chrome and hide gearlever and a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel with brushed aluminium switch surround.
These are complemented by drilled alloy foot-pedals and 'Speed' logos to the polished treadplates. The standard GTC also receives a new Bentley 'B' brake pedal.
