Redline Reviews gave the 2023 Bentley Continental GT Speed a mixed rating of 59/100, praising its exceptional performance and engineering quality while acknowledging significant trade-offs. The Speed delivers superb acceleration (0-60 in 3.5 seconds, 208 mph top speed) and boasts excellent reliability with flawless build quality, jeweled Matrix LED headlights, and a stunning design that still looks fresh despite its four-year-old platform. However, the review reveals serious drawbacks: the vehicle's economy is dire at 12/20 mpg city/highway with a thirsty 24-gallon tank requiring premium gas, cargo practicality is limited with non-folding rear seats, and the six-figure price tag doesn't justify some omissions like multi-color ambient lighting compared to competitors. The Continental GT Speed is built for wealthy enthusiasts who prioritize exhilarating performance, luxury presence, and the distinctive W12 engine soundtrack over fuel efficiency and practicality.
