Bentley says it has lowered the GT Speed's chassis and stiffened its suspension, as well as adding new exterior paint trim to the front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser. The interior of the GT Speed has also been updated, and now comes with new stitching and colour options. 
 
The company has also introduced seven new options packages for its Continental models, each featuring different specifications. Among the luxuries offered are new in-seat neck warmers, drilled alloy foot pedals, new boot carpeting and a heated steering wheel. Deliveries of the new GT Speed are likely to start sometime in the middle of this year.
