Bentley has announced the creation of a limited edition of Continental GT Coupés and Continental GTCs to mark 20 years since its sixth victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 100 years since the race’s first running.
The Le Mans Collection features unique exterior and interior details that echo the design of the Le Mans winning Speed 8 #7. All Le Mans Collection models come with a three-way Bentley Rotating Display and a Vitrine displaying an engine valve from the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 of the 2003 Le Mans winning Bentley Speed 8.
The standard 12-hour analog clock is replaced with a 24-hour digital clock with a bespoke dial design. Mulliner, Bentley’s personal commissioning division, drew inspiration from the dark green Speed 8 racing cars that swept all before them at Le Mans in 2003.
The limited number of Continental GTs and Continental GTCs in the Le Mans Collection are finished in verdant green, with a Moonbeam racing stripe across the bonnet and coupé roof. The interiors are far more luxurious than those of the Bentley Speed 8s, with a bespoke 2003 wreath welcome lamp ushering drivers into a cockpit trimmed in Beluga hide.
The Le Mans Collection Bentleys are equipped with Bentley’s renowned 6.0-liter W12 TSI engine, delivering 659 PS and an extraordinary 900 Nm of torque.
Bentley Dynamic Ride and three-chamber active air suspension with adaptive damping provide a formidable foundation. Variable Electronic Stability Control, All Wheel Steering, and an Electronic Limited Slip Differential further bolster agility and performance.
