The model receives new graphics for the Park Distance Control which are displayed on the Infotainment screen. Areas to the front and rear of the car are divided into nine zones and within these zones orange bars indicate the distance to obstacles. As the car moves closer to an obstacle, the corresponding bar will move closer to the car image on the screen.

Among the new options for is Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) which uses radar to monitor traffic and adjusts the car's throttle or brake to maintain a 'time gap' to the vehicles ahead, depending on local traffic conditions.

To enable customers to play their favorite music through the car's audio system, the new optional iPod Interface links to the Infotainment system. Supplied with connectors for iPod, USB, Mini USB and a 3.5mm AUX jack, the system includes a 12 volt power outlet for charging purposes.

The optional 'Naim for Bentley' system for GT includes a tailor-made dual-channel Sub Woofer with sound ports between the rear seats and delivers the world's best in-car sound stage. Created in partnership with Bentley by Naim Audio, a UK-based high end hi-fi manufacturer, this system features 15 speakers and an 1100 Watt amplifier, plus eight individual DSP modes to reproduce true emotions and a 'live' concert-like experience.

For the Continental GT, 20-inch, two-piece, seven-spoke alloy sports wheels are available with the optional Mulliner Driving Specification - clearly differentiating these models from other GTs.

The 2010 GT Speed will also be available in three new standard exterior colors (Havana, White Sand and Onyx), and with two new standard interior hide colors (Imperial Blue and Linen).
