Use of tweed raises Bentley's personalisation options

The concept of personalisation has reached a new level with the Tweed Hood of the all new Bentley Continental GT Convertible.

Offering a unique combination of the old and the new, the tweed hood delivers a redefined version of a treasured fabric designed to appeal to modern lovers of texture and colour, as well as to discerning customers for whom it conjures up long, luxurious drives and relaxing country pursuits.

Contemporary yet remaining respectful of the weaving tradition, the balance of yarn colours and a unique look defines a new interpretation of the fabric and provides a distinctive aspect to the pinnacle Continental GT Convertible.

The development of the new tweed hood went hand in hand with the creation of the interior and exterior colours of the Continental GT Convertible. The standard palette alone comprises of 17 exterior paint colours, with up to 45 hues available in the extended range. There are also 15 luxurious carpet options, eight different handcrafted veneers (with a further four dual veneer options) and 15 choices of interior trim hide, which means that customers are able to specify their own choice of luxury finish.

Seven exterior roof colours are available in total, including the tweed specification. On all models, the unique Z-fold convertible roof system represents a major improvement both in terms of refinement and packaging. The roof, with its sealing system improvements and acoustic treatments, contributes to a three decibel reduction in overall noise levels at typical cruising speeds compared to its predecessor.
