Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible offers 202 mph of topless fun

"Simplicate and add lightness" may have been the path to glory for Colin Chapman's Lotus, but modern British luxury sports cars take a tack that's entirely the opposite. For an example, look no further than the new Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible, the new and most exclusive car built by the brand, which offers every luxury accoutrement in a chassis that can hit 202 mph and rocket to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. Sure it weighs as much as a full-size pickup, but given Bentley's U.S. sales rose by nearly a third in 2012, the formula seems guaranteed to succeed.
