Bentley has recently launched the Le Mans Collection to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the brand’s victory at the 24h Le Mans in 2003, as well as the race’s 100th anniversary.
The Le Mans collection has two variants Continental GT and Continental GTC, inspired by the #7 Speed 8 that won the race.
This special edition features a Verdant green exterior with Moonbeam white stripes as well as a matrix grille with the number “7” painted in Arctica white.
The Le Mans collection also receives the Blackline package, which replaces the traditional chrome trim elements for a sportier look.
Many exterior details are upgraded with carbon fiber along with Moonbeam racing stripes extending from the bonnet to the hood. The rearview mirror, lower front bumper and rear “horseshoe” are finished in Beluga Black. Bentley has completed the exterior with a set of 22-inch black-painted ten-spoke wheels, red brake calipers and ’24h’ badging.
Race-inspired design is also incorporated into the cabin. Beluga leather seats cover almost every surface, except for the Dynamica fabric upholstery. The steering wheel is decorated with high-quality leather. The monochrome black interior is accented with H๏τspur contrast sтιтching.
It doesn’t stop there, the Speed 8 door sill panels with the door sill panels feature six garland graphics that hint at the car’s story. The dashboard also features six wreaths representing Bentley’s six victories at Le Mans from 1924 to 2003.
Continental’s holographic display has been customized for the Le Mans collection. Owners can still choose to see an analog, touchscreen, or dual-veneer dial, but the standard center dial has been replaced with a Vitrine that displays the engine valves from the Speed 8’s twin-turbo V8. The 12 hour analog clock has been replaced by a custom digital watch with a 24 hour dial.
The power of the Bentleys in the Continental Le Mans Collection is provided by a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine that produces 650 hp and 900 Nm of torque, allowing the car to accelerate from 0- 96 km/h in 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 335 km/h.
Bentley says the Continental Le Mans Collection is limited to 48 units globally. There is still no information on the price of these Continental GT and GTC Le Mans.
