Bentleys old and new grace Monterey Car Week

Bentley has made quite the splash at the 2024 Monterey Car Week, with a trio of firsts that showcased the breadth of the marque's automotive diversity.

Kicking things off was the presentation of its new Continental GT Speed. Making its U.S.A debut at the event, the showcased Continental GT also featured a host of personalised touches from Mulliner, and customers at the event also got to sample the car on the road for the first time globally.

Joining the Continental GT Speed was a 1961 S2 Drophead Coupe, which made its debut following a two-year, bare-metal restoration by Mulliner. The car is said to be the first Bentley ever entered into the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance by the marque itself.

These cars were joined by the Speed Six Continuation Series, which also saw use on the road for the first time at the event. The continuation cars are newly built examples of the original Speed Six, crafted by hand from information gathered from original drawings and built using original materials and techniques.

A total of nearly 90 Bentleys are said to have been present at the event, while the form hosted more than 3,000 of its customers and friends across its different events and evenings.
