The Bentley Continental GTC Speed is the definitive open-top grand tourer, combining the W12's prodigious output with a convertible body that elevates the luxury touring experience to its most refined expression. The 650 horsepower on tap ensures effortless overtaking and relaxed high-speed cruising in equal measure, while the 48-volt active anti-roll system keeps the substantial body remarkably flat through bends despite the structural compromise of losing the roof. With the top down, the cabin management of wind buffeting is exemplary, allowing comfortable open-air motoring at speed. Interior craftsmanship is quintessentially Bentley -- the leather, wood, and metal finishes are beyond reproach. Where the GTC Speed concedes ground is in sheer driving engagement; at over 5,000 pounds, it never feels truly nimble despite its considerable mechanical grip. Fuel economy is predictably dire. But for covering vast distances in supreme comfort with the sky overhead and 650 horsepower on call, nothing else in production quite compares.
