Our intrepid editor just spent a few adrenaline-filled days putting the brand-new Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible through its paces from Phoenix to Vegas via the Grand Canyon and along legendary Route 66.

From Phoenix to Vegas via the Grand Canyon in the new Bentley convertible

An appropriate setting for an extraordinary vehicle with power, pedigree and pure luxury to spare.

Along the way and at various scenic stopovers, we encountered scantily clad cocktail waitresses, tumbleweeds, freight trains, the Highway Patrol, biker gangs, belligerent Corvette drivers, flustered local flora and fauna, extras from a Steven King novel and the high rollers of the Vegas Strip.

They slavered over the sleek streak of bespoke British metal

All of whom openly slavered over the sleek streak of bespoke British metal or scrambled like hell to get out of our way.

Usually both.

Stay tuned for our full adventures from behind the wheel of the world’s fastest four-seat convertible and be prepared to experience envy on a heretofore unimaginable scale.

Be prepared to experience envy on a heretofore unimaginable scale

And never let it be said we’re not committed to broadening your horizons no matter how much we may suffer for it…
