Bentley has revealed a new limited edition of the
Continental GT to celebrate the company’s Pikes Peak record, which was set last
June. The new limited Continental GT comes with a carbon fiber body kit and the
rather striking Radium by Mulliner paintwork, mimicking the color scheme of the
record Pikes Peak car. This includes gloss black detailing on areas like the
lower front bumper inserts, roof panel, wing mirrors and rear fascia.
The unique specification also includes acid green brake
calipers, 22-inch gloss black wheels shod in Pirelli P Zero Colour Edition
tires and a Pikes Peak decal on the front bumper. Customers can also opt for a
grille with the number ‘100’ on it, as a nod to the brand’s centenary.
The luxurious interior of the special Conti GT features
Alcantara with contrasting Radium stitching on most soft-trim areas, paired
with Beluga hide. The dashboard is adorned with carbon fiber trim, with the
passenger’s side getting a graphic showing a section of the Pikes Peak
hillclimb, along with the record time of 10:18.488.
Other revisions include special Pikes Peak embroidery on
the seat headrests, exclusive B&0 speaker covers in anodised black and
Radium, and more.
The limited Pikes Peak edition of the Bentley Continental
GT is powered by the same twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 engine, producing 626 HP and 900 Nm of torque. 0-96 km/h takes just 3.6 seconds while
top speed is set at 333 km/h.
Bentley will build just 15 examples of the Continental
GT’s Pikes Peak special edition, with order books open now.
