Luxury automaker Bentley has unveiled a new limited-edition model celebrating the brand’s historic successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Called the Continental Le Mans, only 100 exclusive units will be handcrafted featuring design details inspired by Bentley’s legendary race cars.
Unveiled at the 2023 Geneva Motor Show, the Continental Le Mans exterior stands out with Le Mans Blue paint and gloss black detailing. The grill, hood vents, and rear haunches are all accented in a carbon fiber weave, nodding to Bentley race cars of the 1920s. Red brake calipers and unique 21-inch wheels add flair.
Inside, the Continental Le Mans pampers drivers with opulent two-tone leather upholstery in blue and black. The dashboard is decorated with Engine Spin aluminum, an ode to vintage Bentleys. Each car also comes with limited edition indoor car covers stitched in matching Le Mans Blue.
Under the hood lies a 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine producing 650hp and 666 lb-ft of torque. This allows the Continental Le Mans to sprint 0-60mph in just 3.6 seconds. Adaptive air suspension provides sublime comfort on long journeys.
Only 100 examples of the Continental Le Mans will be produced, celebrating Bentley’s 100th anniversary this year. Availability is limited to Europe and the UK, with pricing starting around £270,000 before taxes and customization.
With its racing pedigree and exquisite craftsmanship, the Continental Le Mans is sure to be a coveted collector’s item for Bentley enthusiasts worldwide.
