The Bentley Continental GT Speed has been updated, with the latest version of Bentely's fastest car getting a power boost to 633bhp (up from 626bhp) and a top speed of 206mph.

There's also 20Nm more torque for the GT Speed's 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 engine, with a maximum output of 840Nm on tap and the 0-60mph time has dropped to 3.9 seconds. That crushing maximum torque figure is delivered from 2,000rpm right up to 5,000rpm as well, giving the GT Speed a very wide power band for even more effortless performance.

As well as the standard GT Speed you can now also get a Black Edition version, which adds a number of visual changes to make the car stand from the crowd. It's available as a coupe or convertible and gets a glossy black finish for some of the exterior trim and 21-inch alloy wheels and a choice of red or black brake calipers underneath them.

You can also get your Bentley Continental GT Speed Black Edition with contrasting colours for the door mirrors, front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser, including one shade called Cyber Yellow. The contrasting colour can be continued inside on the seats and centre console, and there's contrast stitching and carbon fibre detailing to complete the new look.

The new Continental GT Speed is available now, with orders arriving in the summer. The standard GT Speed will cost from £168,300, with the Black Edition retailing from £176,300.
