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.
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...
