A 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed First Edition, specified with more than $63,000 of factory options, is being offered for sale after covering just 1,500 miles. The Beluga-over-Beluga convertible was ordered with the Dark Chrome Interior, Mulliner Colour and Continental Blackline specifications, and its original window sticker lists a total suggested retail price of $399,495.
The car is finished in Beluga paint with Blackline Specification trim and a power-operated black soft top featuring a heated rear glass window. Black-painted 22-inch swept-spoke wheels, a $4,000 option, are fitted with Pirelli P Zero tyres. Other exterior details include cut-crystal LED lighting, a deployable rear spoiler and exhaust outlets that exit through the rear valance. Window tint and a ceramic coating have been applied.
Under the bonnet, a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 works alongside an electric motor to produce a combined 771 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The fourth-generation Continental GT uses aluminium body panels, and this example rides on air suspension with Continuous Damping Control and electronic all-wheel steering. Black-finished Bentley-branded calipers grip ventilated discs at all four corners.
The cabin pairs Beluga leather and Dinamica upholstery with Mandarin accents, matching trim across the dashboard, centre console and door panels, and carbon-fibre detailing. The heated, ventilated and massaging front seats include neck warmers. Contrast stitching added $3,930, while the Mulliner gear lever and steering wheel were a $1,190 option. The $2,670 Dark Chrome Interior Specification brought dark chrome finishes to the speaker grilles, air vents, organ stops, instrument panel details, door handles and switches.
Equipment includes a Naim for Bentley sound system, a head-up display, a rotating centre display, adaptive cruise control, navigation and automatic climate control. First Edition-branded plates adorn the door sills. The heated leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a configurable display with a 220-mph speedometer and an 8,000-rpm tachometer.
The digital odometer shows 1,500 miles, approximately 1,200 of which were added under current ownership after the car was purchased in 2025. The window sticker notes initial delivery to Fields Motorcars Orlando in Florida. The car is offered with a car cover, a charging cable, leather key pouches, a clean Carfax report free of accidents or reported damage, and a clean Florida title in the name of the seller's LLC.
