For the first month of this year 2021, Bentley produced the 80,000th Continental GT. For the occasion, the car manufacturer has decided to celebrate this “anniversary model” by bringing together some iconic versions that have marked its evolution since 2003.
Bentley delivers an average of nearly 5,000 Continental GTs worldwide each year.
The new model unveils unprecedented aesthetics with the pinnacle of Bentley’s design and engineering achievements: a Continental GT V8 in Orange Flame version, finished with Blackline specifications and with optional styling specifications.
