The Bentley Continental GT Speed tuned. We can hear you think “another tuner creating a package for this already stunning GT”. This time the company is called ASI. They transformed a Continental GT Speed utilizing dry carbon in the bodywork, adding custom 22” wheels and an aggressive bodykit. Thanks to this the Continental GT changed into a very aggressive beast. Power output with an ECU upgrade pushes the GT range from the factory standard 560 bhp to 640 bhp. All this power has been put on the road by upgrading the brake and suspension modifications.
Even more stunning is the upcoming model that is expected to have 800 bhp, called the “Tetsu”. Only 29 limited edition Tetsu models will be made and will no doubt be higher than the $600,000 asking price for a standard model upgrade. The company is expected to announce more details at the end of this month.
ASI sales director Lloyd Williams said
The upgrades required to generate 800 bhp from the 6.0L W12 engine included ECU chipping, exhaust modifications, transmission upgrades, and potentially uprating the tubos.

As I wrote ‘another tuner taking the Bentley Continental GT back in the shop’ but I think this isn’t the worst thing we saw sofar. I quite like it!
:thumbs down:
I dont like the vents on the hood & rear bumper & the rear wing
The front is the best for me, it’s very individual and not many tuners have got their hands on the GT Speed yet
I went to a Bentley dealer today to check out the GT Speed a bit closer. It still looks a lot like the normal Bentley Continental GT but with the new Bentley wheels and improved brakes it’s visible that this is no regular GT.
The last thing I would do with a GT Speed is take it to a tuner at first sight. It’s a car to be enjoyed and driven as is in my opinion. But I’m sure there are plenty of people out there that disagree on that point and do want to tune it.
