First Drive: 2010 Bentley Continental GTC Speed

Heavy Cream: Smooth, Rich, Even Better When Whipped

Bentley's 2010 Continental GTC Speed belongs to that rare class of vehicles to which the standard array of automotive superlatives simply does not apply. After all, how can one adequately convey the sensation of accelerating a 5500-pound, leather-clad convertible from rest to 60 mph in a mere 4.5 seconds? Of hitting 195 mph with the top down. Of returning to a standstill via the world's largest production automobile brakes-eight-piston calipers and 16.5-inch carbon-ceramic discs?

I really want to like this car, it being a convertible in the best trim grade they offer (Speed), but still can't!

Well powered but at 5,500 lbs it is much to heavy for anybody to consider it ever to seriously as a driver's car.

There are but 2 issues with this car for me, the front end; its too round and VW Beetle like, and the top-up styling....looks like a truck. Everything else is right.

Beside the mighty power-train, the only two things I love about this car are, the color & the interior!

This is my favourite four seater convertible and it looks best in graphite grey with red interior. But I have to say that it's starting to look a bit bloated now and the same applies to the Veyron.The successor should employ more stricter lines to prevent bland aging.
