The high powered Bentley Continental GT was introduced in two thousand and three, equipped with a six litre W12 engine. The Continental GT is capable of reaching speeds close to two hundred miles per hour (around three hundred and twenty kilometres per hour), and the car has in fact beat the previously held world record speed on ice (previous ice speed record was held by the Bugatti EB110 SS). The car which successfully achieved the record was for the most part a standard Continental GT model, although some performance changes were made, such as aerodynamic alterations. The Bentley Continental GT replaced the Continental R, a car which was produced for eleven years.
