Bentley would like to introduce the world to its
latest limited edition model, the Continental GT Convertible Bavaria Edition by
Mulliner, inspired by the “beauty of the Bavarian region.” The car is the brainchild of
Bentley Design boss Stefan Sielaff and is said to be one of a kind, with
Mulliner handcrafting just one limited edition model in Crewe, England, before
its presentation at an exclusive event at Bentley’s Munich retailer.
Distinguishing the car from other Continental GTC
models are features such as its iconic Bavarian colors, where the Glacier White
exterior and Imperial Blue roof are meant to reflect the German region’s flag
pattern.
You can also find said pattern in
a chrome finish on the front fender with enamel infills (Mulliner Bespoke White
and Light Blue Sport). Then there are the 22-inch Mulliner Driving
Specification wheels and the bright chrome lower bumper grille, adding to the
car’s sense of style.
As for the interior, there are Bavarian flag pattern
embroidered seat headrests in the same Bespoke White and Light Blue Sport as on
the outside, a Bentley Bavaria Edition tread plate inlay, a Mulliner Glacier
White painted dual veneer with an Imperial Blue hide, and rounding everything
off is the white contrast stitching and piping, which can be found on the
seats, door panels, center console, steering wheel and even the floor mats.
While performance figures weren’t specified, we
expect power to come from a twin turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 unit, paired to an
eight-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox. With the aid of 626 HP and 900 Nm of torque, the Continental GTC can accelerate to 96
km/h in 3.7 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.8 sec) and max out at 333 km/h.
