Bentley builds a Harlequin

Well, almost - the Breitling Jet Team Continental will certainly stand out in a crowd.

This won't be for everyone. It won't even be for most potential Bentley owners. But if you're the sort of person who is planning to buy a Continental GT Speed but thinks that the standard one is too subtle and restrained, this could be perfect.

Just seven Jet Series to be made - phew?

Built to celebrate the connection between Bentley and Breitling, and also the latter's jet display team, the Bentley Continental GT Speed Breitling Jet Team Series Limited Edition (yes, really) is a limited-to-seven edition. Each is inspired by one of the aircraft which - as you've doubtless noticed - means bright yellow detailing beneath the front bumper, side sills and around the exhaust pipes.

Next to which the jet-reflecting two-tone colour scheme of dark blue below and grey above looks almost restrained - although it does give the Conti a passing and probably unintended resemblance to the multi-coloured Volkswagen Polo Harlequin from the 1990s when viewed from behind.

Inside it's a similar story - like the standard Continental Speed but slightly more, well, vibrant. There are yellow accents to the door panels, seats and dash top - plus a display of the seven Breitling display aircraft in formation, with the one that car is inspired by highlighted. In yellow, of course. The customisation work has been done by Bentley's in-house bespoke division, Mulliner, which - as the Breitling Jet Team Series proves - can pretty much do anything you want.
