<br />Some new cars are predictable; others catch us by surprise. This one we could see from a mile away, and not just because it's enormous. But after Bentley rolled out Speed versions of the Continental GT coupe (<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/28/in-the-autoblog-garage-bentley-continental-gt-speed/">which we've sampled</a>) and Flying Spur sedan, it was only a matter of time before the same treatment would be applied to the GTC convertible variant. And now we're seeing the spy shots to prove it. The Bentley Continental GTC Speed, as it's certain to be called, will feature all of the same upgrades we've seen on the Speed versions of its fixed-head counterparts. That means a power bump for its W12 engine to 602 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, suspension and aero tweaks and bigger wheels. All of it will add up to one fast-moving warm weather front that should hit U.S. shores in the near future as Hurricane Bentley.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bentley-continental-gtc-speed-spy-shots/">Bentley Continental GTC Speed - spy shots</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bentley-continental-gtc-speed-spy-shots/1114725/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/bentleygtcspeed.r1.kgp.ed _thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bentley-continental-gtc-speed-spy-shots/1114724/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/bentleygtcspeed.r2.kgp.ed _thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bentley-continental-gtc-speed-spy-shots/1114726/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/bentleygtcspeed.r3.kgp.ed _thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bentley-continental-gtc-speed-spy-shots/1114723/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/bentleygtcspeed.r4.kgp.ed _thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bentley-continental-gtc-speed-spy-shots/1114722/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/bentleygtcspeed.r5.kgp.ed _thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: KGP Photography]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/23/spy-shots-bentley-continental-gtc-speed/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1350795/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/23/spy-shots-bentley-continental-gtc-speed/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
