RE: Bentley Continental 24 special edition for N24
Tuesday 23rd May 2017
This weekend will see those roaring Bentleys participate in the N24 for the third consecutive year, so what better way to commemorate this than with a special edition? Bentley has unveiled the Continental 24, a limited run of ... you guessed it ... 24 to celebrate the pending spectacle of its cars getting stuck in with Mercedes, Porsche, Audi and others at the legendary endurance race taking place this weekend. Based on the 700hp Continental Supersports, there are no differences in power and torque figures (most would consider them already sufficient) but in the usual style there has been something of a makeover inspired by the racing version.
Bentley Continental 24 special edition for N24
Big, bad racing Bentleys hit the Nurburgring 24-hour this weekend - here's one you can buy!
The car is available with a duo-tone paint combo of either Monaco Yellow or St James' Red over Black Crystal. Or, if you aren't keen on showing your race affiliations in quite such vibrant fashion a single-tone option is available. The 21-inch wheels can also be finished in yellow or red accents. Meanwhile the engine cover is finished in carbon fibre, as are the door mirrors.
In the cabin, treadplates, door panels and fascias are finished in carbon fibre. If you forgot what colour the duo-tone paint is, not to worry, the diamond quilted Alcantara seats are accented to match the exterior colour. Bagging one of the 24 examples will cost you a quarter of a million euros and deliveries will start in July. Before that there's some racing to be done...

Not a fan of those - however, it's GREAT that Bentley are taking-part in this stuff - that should be applauded and encouraged...
The Conti is well past it's sell-by-date but they still keep making them ever-faster and more bonkers which is also good - I drove one once, it was probably the fastest thing I've driven in terms of sheer *press throttle* *smash face into horizon* - nothing shabby about that.
Bentley has had an image problem for a long time tho - they started-off as car for racers, became 'Rolls Royces for drivers' before finally being "luxury VWs" or worse 'cars for WAGs'
I'm sure whatever they replace the Conti with will improve things ;0

It's a chavvy piece of dog sick! It simply looks as rough as a bears arse. No class whatsoever. Money doesn't buy class. This shows it. Bloody VAG group. More total bks.
Bentley has not really been traditionally classy since the last decadeThat thing looks vile in my opinion.
