Hard to believe, but this year the Bentley Continental will be 20 years old. Although a facelifted model is currently being worked on, we do not expect the premiere until the second half of the year. about that anniversary of the luxurious GT, Bentley is presenting at the current Shanghai Auto Show a one-off Continental GT S version with various Mulliner finishes. Even at first glance, the GT is something special. The body is finished in agnetic dark gray metallic and the vehicle stands on 22-inch 10-spoke black chrome rims that hide red brake calipers. And a similar black and red color combination can also be found in the interior, where Beluga and Hotspur leather meet black piano lacquer accents.

The cabin also features a laser-engraved overlay that identifies the Conti GT as a one-off 20th anniversary model. A striking detail is the thin red stripe that visually separates the dashboard from door to door. Another interesting design feature is the door sill on the right side, which is a first and from drita Generation Continental GT in silhouette, representing 20 years of British coupe history.

The 'new' Continental GT was introduced in 2003 as the first new modern Bentley model and the first Bentley with all-wheel drive. It was also the first vehicle to be fitted with a W12 engine, making it one of the world's fastest four-seaters at launch (0-60mph in 4,7 seconds). Incidentally, the one-off from 2023 is only a small part of Bentley's planned anniversary celebrations for this year.
more surprises await
For example, over the coming weeks two centers – one in Crewe and one in Geneva – will showcase various Continental models, including first and second generation vehicles from the Bentley Heritage collection. During the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July this year, the luxury marque will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of the W12 engine, which was introduced with the first Continental GT.
