First Bentley Speed Six Continuation Series Debuts At Goodwood FoS

Bentley brings back the legendary Speed Six model with the introduction of the Speed Six Continuation Series at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. This model holds great significance in the brand’s history, as it secured victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1929 and 1930. Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house coachbuilder, will produce a limited run of 12 Speed Six Continuation cars, all of which are already sold to enthusiastic buyers.

The heart of the Speed Six is a 6.5-liter inline-six engine. Through rigorous dyno testing, the powerplant has been measured to produce an impressive 205 horsepower. This output is within a mere 5 horsepower of the original competition-spec engines used in the 1930s.
