DETROIT (WXYZ) - Bentley has unveiled their newest vehicle, the Continental GT Speed Convertible, a car the company says will provide supercar performance and high end luxury comfort.
The car comes with a twin-turbocharged 6.0 liter W12 engine that will provide 616 BHP and a top speed of 202 miles an hour.
However, Bentley says no trade-off has been made between horsepower and their trademark luxury.
Bentley unveils the car as the company comes off a 2012 that saw them achieve a 22 percent increase in global sales. Bentley says they are hoping to achieve double-digit growth again in 2013.
