MTM Bentley Continental GT Birkin Edition

MTM Bentley Continental GT Birkin Edition

German tuner MTM’s latest creation has beaten Bentley themselves for the title of “Fastest Bentley in the World.” They’ve taken a regular Continental GT, and added power and suspension upgrades, along with a few other minor changes.

MTM has managed to squeeze 650 horsepower out of the Bentley’s twin-turbocharged W12 engine, which is 90hp more than from the factory. Torque is increased from 479 lb-ft to 586, and is available at only 1700 rpm. These power upgrades allow the tuned Continental GT to hit a top speed of over 205 mph, and it took three seconds off the standard GT on the short Hockenheim circuit, as well as three seconds off the 0 to 200 km/h sprint, which the MTM achieved in 15.9 seconds.

Along with the engine upgrades, the MTM Continental GT also receives a new stainless steel exhaust system, custom 21-inch alloy wheels, bigger brakes, and a tuned and height-adjustable suspension.

MTM didn’t change any of the body except adding a chromed grille, but the lowered suspension, new wheels, and four-pipe exhaust give the MTM Continental GT an overall sportier and more aggressive look.

The Birkin Edition kit will cost a little over $28,000 USD, and can be applied to the standard Continental GT, GTC, Flying Spur, GT Speed, GTC Speed and Continental Supersports. See below for more pictures:
