    Bentley Continental GT Speed Revealed Packing 650 HP (485 kW)

    Bentley took the covers off the new Continental GT Speed last week which now becomes the most dynamic road car in the company’s 101-year history.

    Cosmetically the GT Speed gets slightly more aggressive looks with the grille, lower bumper air intakes, and side sills wearing a Dark Tint finish.

    The magnificent 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 has been massaged to deliver 650 hp (485 kW) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft). Thanks to this extra grunt, it can sprint to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and go on to a top speed of 335 km/h (208 mph).

    Bentley did not simply give it more power because you need some tweaks to handle the extra power and then some more to make it the most dynamic car they have ever offered.

    The eight-speed dual-clutch transmission was updated to respond quicker and with more aggression, specifically in Sport mode. The gearbox reportedly shifts twice as quickly as the same setup in the standard Continental GT.

    Improved handling and dynamics is thanks to the suspension and steering being reworked. A new Electronic All-Wheel Steering function improves agility by moving the front and rear wheels in opposite directions at moderate speeds, while all four wheels turn in the same direction at extremely high speeds to improve stability.

    Inside you will find a unique two-tone leather and Alcantara treatment that covers the seats, steering wheel, and portions of the dash.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye πŸ˜‰ 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
