Bentley gives Continental GT Speed even more power

The Bentley Continental GT Speed has never been accused of being a slouch when it came to power, bluntly incorporating the word Speed in its name, but it seems the company's engineers believe there is still room for improvement.

That's up from 616-hp and 590 lb-ft of torque in the 2014 versions of this 6.0-liter W12 beast.
