The 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed stopped by the [2012 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/pebble beach) fresh from its appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The GT Speed gets its grunt from a 6.0-liter, twin-turbo W12 good for 616 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, which will shoot the big coupe to a top speed of 205 miles per hour.

Only Bentley faithful will be able to discern the model from its eight-cylinder sibling, however. Changes to the coupe’s exterior are slight, and include black-field center caps in place of the red found on the standard Continental GT on the massive 21-inch wheels. Likewise, large, oval exhaust outlets stand in for the faux-eight pipes, and a set of W12 badges on the front fenders help differentiate the top-tier model from its underlings.

Bentley plans to begin deliveries beginning this October, and buyers may submit orders right now.
