Bentley has announced details of a striking limited edition Continental GT that celebrates a record-breaking automotive achievement from earlier in the British marque's centenary year.
The car is distinguished by a carbon fibre body kit and eye-catching Radium by Mulliner paintwork, mirroring the colour scheme used on the record-breaking car. Gloss black detailing has also been added to the front lower bumper inserts, roof panel, wing mirrors and rear surfaces.
Acid Green brake disc calipers, Pirelli P Zero Colour Edition tyres in Radium Finish and a Pikes Peak decal to the front bumper hint at the Limited Edition's record-breaking lineage, while 22-inch Mulliner Driving Specification wheels in Gloss Black are standard. An optional '100' grille is a reminder that the Continental GT's impressive hill climb achievement took place in Bentley's centenary year.
The steering wheel features a honeycomb stitching design and a centre stripe both in Radium, as per the Pikes Peak GT race car.
Carbon fibre fascias and wasitrails are complemented by a Piano Black centre console, all adding to the sporting theme.
The passenger-side fascia features a graphic showing a section of the Pikes Peak track, with five different graphics being used across the 15-car run, along with the record-setting time of 10:18.488.
Inside the cabin, Alcantara with contrasting Radium thread stitching adorns much of the soft trim areas
The Continental GT's luxurious cabin includes the ground-breaking Bentley Rotating Display, deep pile overmats and Front Seat Comfort Specification.
Like the Continental GT that broke the Pikes Peak record earlier this year, this new model features the world's most advanced 12-cylinder petrol engine in the twin-turbocharged Bentley W12. This mighty engine develops 626bhp and 900Nm of torque, effortlessly accelerating the Continental GT from zero to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of 333km/h.
