Bentley has announced a\u00a0new\u00a0limited production vehicle built in conjunction with the Breitling Jet Team. This Continental GT Speed retains the standard W12 cylinder, six-litre twin turbocharged engine which powers\u00a0all four wheels. The body\u00a0carries\u00a0an eye catching unique paint scheme.<\/p>\n

How many will be produced? Handcrafted by the company’s personalised coach building division, Mulliner, the Bentley Continental GT Speed Breitling Jet Team Edition is limited to a production number of seven units. It is based on the same platform as the standard Bentley Continental GT Speed, which is Bentley’s fastest automobile made to date. It pays\u00a0homage to the\u00a0Breitling Jet Team who will be showcasing their breath-taking aerial flight manoeuvres in a grand tour spanning across Canada and the United States this summer.<\/p>\n

Mulliner took inspiration from the Breitling team’s L-39 Albatross jets finishing. The exterior of the vehicle comes in two-tone Onyx and Hallmark with Breitling\u00a0Yellow highlights making it stand out from the regular\u00a0Bentley Continental GT Speed. This finish continues inside the car, including leather seats featuring luxurious yellow diamond pattern stitching with the rest of the interior sporting more of the unique Breitling yellow highlight scheme. A series of graphics and logos matching the aircraft which inspired the design decorate\u00a0the headrests.<\/p>\n

Generously spread carbon fibre has been applied inside the vehicle, including the\u00a0centre console which houses\u00a0the Breitling analog clock with a luminous highlighted yellow ring. You’ll also find he standard dashboard \u00a0touchscreen infotainment screen with other regular\u00a0components found in the Bentley Continental GT Speed. Just above the glove box on the passengers side, an image of the seven aircrafts in their trademark Avenger flight formation will be present. In each car,\u00a0an individual aircraft will be highlighted in yellow for the one that\u00a0the particular car is inspired by,\u00a0the other jets remaining in white. This means that each\u00a0of the seven\u00a0cars will have a unique graphic.<\/p>\n

Additional features include cooled and heated seats, keyless go, power front seats with memory functions, cruise and climate control seating four people. The gearbox will be\u00a0the standard eight-speed automatic found in the high performance grand tourer coupe.<\/p>\n

Adding to the exclusivity, each of the seven vehicles have individually numbered tread plate plaques inscribed with the number of limited production number of the car. The same applies for the headrests.<\/p>\n

Bentley’s sophisticated limited edition creation will make a dramatic\u00a0debut to the public in Seattle, USA,\u00a0at the Boeing Seafair Airshow on the 31st of July 2015. There,\u00a0the keys of each vehicle will be given to their respective owners by one of the seven jet pilots, immediately after they perform a quick flight in the jet that influenced the actual design for their bespoke tailor-made vehicle.<\/p>\n

Pricing for the Bentley Continental GT Speed Breitling Jet Team Edition has\u00a0yet to be released to the general public. However Bentley have confirmed that all seven of these unique machines have been sold\u00a0already.
