Bentley celebrated their return to the 24 Hours of
the Nurburgring last year with a special edition of the Continental called the
’24’, which was produced in just as many units.
Based upon the second-generation grand tourer, it
added a special exterior color combo, some interior updates and a twin-turbo
6.0-liter W12 rated at 710 PS and 1,017 Nm of
torque.
Now, Wheelsandmore has
presented its latest project, which takes on a Bentley Continental 24. The car
benefits from a 55 PS power upgrade, obtained by revising the
software and using pre-muffler replacement pipes and a flap exhaust with remote
control. It doesn’t seem like much, but with the extra muscle, the luxury coupe
is more powerful than a McLaren 720S.
In addition to squeezing more horses out of the W12
engine and finishing the exterior of this Continental in a black shade,
contrasted by the ‘Continental 24’ side decals, the tuner has also fitted an
air suspension. Wheelsandmore says that the GT’s body can be electronically
lowered and raised, and it’s been designed to work with the new wheel-tire
combo.
The latter upgrade includes a set of 10.5×21-inch
wheels from the 6Sporz² series on both axles wrapped in 275/35 Pirelli
high-performance tires, but customers can also opt for a 10.5×22-inch set shod
with 285/30 Continental tires.
