Bentley speed machines primed for Goodwood hill

Bentley will unleash some of its fastest and most powerful cars at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed in July. The flying Bentleys include the 616 bhp (625 ps) and 202 mph (325 km/h) Continental GT Speed Convertible (the world's fastest four seat convertible) and
two of Bentley's 2003 Le Mans-winning Speed 8 race cars.

Instantly recognisable with their iconic British Racing Green livery, cars No. 7 and No. 8 secured a famous first and second at Le Mans, and are set to make a special reunion ten years on at Goodwood.

"Goodwood's atmosphere is unique and this summer we're bringing even more speed to the Festival. The 202 mph GT Speed Convertible is set to turn heads in the supercar paddock as will our Speed 8 Le Mans cars marking the tenth anniversary of Bentley's 2003 victory. It is also the ideal scene-setter for Bentley's return to top-level motor sport with a GT3 race car later this year," said Brian Gush, Bentley's Director of Motorsport.

Away from the famous hill, 2013 will see Bentley's biggest ever exhibition presence at Goodwood, including the opportunity to see the new Flying Spur; the fastest, most powerful luxury sedan in Bentley's history.
