Bentley Continental GT commemorates Pikes Peak record; releasing 15 limited edition models
KUALA LUMPUR: Bentley recently released a new limited edition model of the Continental GT to mark the event of outright record of a production car at the Pikes International Hill climb. The new limited edition Continental GT model which commemorates the success at the event will be available for ordering from this month.
The special edition car is only limited to 15 units, based on the top variant of the Continental GT. The model retains the 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine that produces power of 626hp and a peak torque of up to 900nm, providing a top speed of 333km/h. The engine comes mated with new eight-speed dual-clutch transmissions pulling off a zero to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds.
The car stands different in a number of ways with the unique style touch it gets, sporting a carbon fibre and radium colour by Mulliner Paintwork. The front lower bumper inserts, rear surfaces, roof panel and wing mirrors are covered in gloss black accents. The colour of the car represents the original colour scheme on Rhys Millen’s vehicle when he set the new record.
Interior of the car witnesses more of Radium touches on the Alcantara upholstery that comes adjoined with leather trims. The steering wheel gets coloured stitching in a honeycomb pattern while a combination of Piano Black and Carbon Fibre gives a finish to the sporty theme. The brake capillaries can be seen covered in Acid Green with a Pikes Peak decal on the front bumper.
Being a limited edition, the vehicle carries the reminders of Pikes Peak record which include a graphic on the passenger’s side fascia and also carries the record-setting time of 10:18:488. The users also get an option to specify the “100” grille as a reminder of the achievement.
