In June, Bentley had announced with the two-time champion Rhys Millen at the wheel of the legendary Pikes Peak (to the International Hill Climb Event) the Porsche 911 Turbo S record from 2014 (10: 26,9 minutes) want to adjust. With a time of 10: 18,488 minutes that was close then a month later also impressively succeeded. Reason enough for a limited edition of the fastest production car of all time on Pikes Peak. The edition of the GT is limited to 15 copies and impresses with a body kit made of carbon and in particular with the "Radium by Mulliner" paintwork all around. It should be reminiscent of the color scheme of the Pikes Peak car. There are also shiny black details and the large brake calipers of the sports brake system has been painted in "acid green". The well-known 22-inch “Mulliner Driving Specification” rims in “Gloss Black” are covered with Pirelli P Zero Color Edition tires with a radium finish. There is even a Pikes Peak sticker on the bumper. Our personal highlight, however, is the optional 100 mm grill, which is intended to be a reminder of the impressive performance of the Continental GT in Bentley's anniversary year.

And there are also a few accents inside. Of course, the limited edition is also equipped with a lot of Alcantara like the series, but the steering wheel comes with a honeycomb pattern and a median strip in radium based on the Pikes Peak GT racing car. There is also a noble center console in "piano black" in a mix of carbon and the front passenger cover shows a graphic with a section of the Pikes Peak route and the record time driven. Further details are Pikes Peak embroidery on the headrests, Pikes PeakSide sill and black anodized speaker covers with radium finish. The engine is in contrast series. There is the double turbocharged W12 with 635 PS and 900 Newtonmeter torque which accelerates the 0-100 km / h Continental GT in 3,7 seconds and allows a maximum of 333 km / h. At least the Akrapovic Sports exhaust system of the racing car one could have given the limited edition but.
