Bentley says the model is available with Mulliner's special touches from launch. Therefore, its future owners “can create tens of billions of possible combinations of specifications,” the company claims, and for the automotive event, the 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed has an orange theme. The exterior is finished in Orange Flame Satin, gloss black accents, 22-inch black-finished alloy wheels with self-leveling logos, and a sports exhaust system.
The Naim for Bentley audio system is also on deck, and the cabin of the vehicle has been done in Gravity Gray, a new shade available for this model. It also has Brunel leather seats, contrasting orange accents, diamond-quilted areas on some components with Gravity Gray stitching, and a few other features that will surely make the car more visible in the sea of expensive models that will be on display at the car show.
Unveiled last month, the 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed follows in the footsteps of the hand-built Batur and Bacalar, introducing some special design cues. It has a new chassis, dual-chamber air springs with dual-valve dampers, 48-volt active roll control, an eLSD, torque vectoring, and the classic coupe is joined by its convertible sibling, the Continental GTC.
