See the Bentley GT Speed Edition 12

The Bentley GT Speed Edition 12 commemorates the worthy British answer to even the finest German automotive engineering — so worthy, in fact, that a mere 120 of each Speed Edition 12 will be produced. It’s an odd twist of fate, given Bentley’s W12 engine was the first powertrain produced under the Volkswagen Group, but those efforts elevated performance with an astonishing 37% increase in power and a 54% increase in torque, so who’s counting?

Much like the Speed Edition 12 itself, Bentley West Palm Beach is here with a dignified, high-level overview of what makes the iconic luxury vehicle first in class by any nation’s automotive standards.

The W12 Gets a Four-Direction Sendoff, With the Bentley GT Speed Edition 12

Those 120-quantity production runs mentioned above will be replicated four times; one each with Bentley’s most beloved modern classics:

• Bentayga
• Flying Spur
• Continental GT
• Continental GTC

It’s a fitting celebration/retirement party for the first-in-class W12 engine, for which Bentley produced 100,000 different incarnations over the engine’s two-decade history. The name harkens to its W-cylinder configuration, which reduced mill size by 24% (over a comparable V12), dramatically boosting power in a smaller area than previously thought possible.

Only 480 Bentley Speed Edition 12s Will Be Available

The Bentley GT Speed Edition 12 is an instant collector’s item, and not just by design. While Bentley is forging onto greener pastures with what their CEO is calling “the W12 of batteries,” it’s certain any Bentley 12-cylinder will instantaneously rise in value. Just by how much? Only time will tell.
