Bentley has launched seven limited edition Contintental GT Speeds that were inspired by the unparalleled speed and precision of the sky. Labeled the “Continental GT Speed Breitling Jet Team Series,” the cars pay tribute to Breitling Jet Team, the world’s largest professional civilian flight team performing on jets.
The Continental GT Speed has been re-imagined to mirror the unique look of the Breitling Jets. Bentley’s Mulliner division are the creators of this vision as it will commemorate Breitling Jet Team’s grand tour and performance across the United States and Canada. If you want extreme speed and intense customization work, this this series will be a boon for car lovers.
Scheduled to debut at Boeing Seafair Airshow, Seattle, July 31, this exclusive series is limited to just seven cars, each inspired by one of the seven Breitling Jets. The key for each car will be handed over to its owner by the corresponding plane’s pilot, but not until they have experienced a flight in the jet that inspired their car.
Geoff Dowding, Director of Mulliner, said, “The Continental GT Speed Breitling Jet Team Series demonstrates the level of customization Mulliner can achieve for customers. Creating this very special edition has been an exciting experience for the entire team, taking inspiration from the Breitling Jet Team’s grand tour.”
