The extra dynamic performance to the Continental flagship model is complemented by a more distinctive visual presence. The most obvious update is the new front bumper, which features a mesh grille over the intakes and a small pair of winglets. A dark tint has also been applied to the light surrounds and wheels, while the brake calipers get a bright red finish. A new exterior paint called Candy Red is also available on the 2015 GT Speed and is exclusive to the car.
