There was a time when if someone said “Bentley” to me, an image of an old man smoking a cigar behind the wheel a big rolling box would come to mind. This, to me, epitomized Bentley. Until now.

One of the most hated design “features” of the 996-generation Porsche 911 was its soupy-egg-yolk headlamps, borrowed from the original Porsche Boxster. Judging from these spy shots of the 2019 Bentley Continental GT, Bentley saw the 996 and demanded MORE SOUP.

With its highest horsepower and lowest suspension, the GT Speed is Bentley's most athletic production car. But what happens when you chop off the roof?
