The Robb Report has just published yet another drop-jaw description of the latest offering in luxury automobiles….The 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed!

“With a top speed of 205 mph, the 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed is the fastest production car ever to wear the Flying B. The standard Continental GT, revised inside and out for 2011 and capable of 198 mph, hardly wants for velocity. But it’s a Bentley tradition to up the ante, and the new Speed does just that!” [as reported by Matthew Phenix].

Hey, who wouldn’t like to get to the Hamptons from NYC in less than hour? Ha!!

Here’s the brilliant bucket list of revisions to the car’s 6.0-liter twin-turbo W-12 engine:

*Horsepower is up 49, to 616, and torque jumps by 74 ft lbs, to a monumental 590.

*A new close-ratio 8-speed automatic transmission from ZF delivers all that power to the pavement via an all-wheel-drive setup with a 60 percent rearward bias.

*The Speed’s new gearbox helps reduce fuel consumption by an impressive 12 percent.

* Suspension and steering have been revised to accommodate new found power.

* Ride height has been lowered, benefiting both agility and appearance, and the car rolls on unique 21-inch wheels wrapped in ultrahigh-performance 275/35R21 Pirelli PZero tires.

* Inside, the car boasts Bentley’s sumptuous Mulliner Driving Specification, along with a passel of Speed-specific design cues.

“Sixty miles per hour arrives in a blistering four seconds flat [no small feat for a grand-touring automobile that weighs more than a Range Rover], and it bears repeating that the Speed will live up to its name with a 205 mph top speed.

Ready to place your order? Hey, Christmas is right around the corner! Bentley elves are by the phone, taking orders for the 2013 Continental GT Speed that can deliver as early as this month. Pricing has not been release yet, but if you can afford to own a Bentley you will expect that the cost for Speed “will eclipse that of the $193,250 Continental GT coupe by at least $25,000.”
