After Bentley with the two-time champion over a year ago Rhys Millen im SUV Bentayga over the almost 20 kilometers long Pikes Peak in just 10: 49,9 minutes is hunted this success is now repeated for the brand. At the upcoming Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (Sunday 30. June 2019) Bentley has another record in its sights and wants to start with a barely modified Bentley Continental GT. This time again, Rhys Millen will be behind the wheel and dare to try it. The technically almost standard vehicle only got an Akrapovic sports exhaust system and a special paint job for the 100th anniversary. This is made particularly clear by the gray number “100” in the striking black radiator grille.

There is also a Bentley emblem on the hood and at the rear that carries the numbers 1919 and 2019. The heavy Continental GT steps against the Porsche 911 Turbo S from 2014, where the current production car record with 10: 26,9 minutes stops. By the way, the electrically powered racing car holds the absolute record VW ID R Pikes Peak who completed the 20 km in mad 7 minutes and 57,148 seconds with Romain Dumas at the wheel. Considering 156 curves, the route from Cascade, Colorado, to the summit of Pikes Peak in El Paso County, at an altitude of 14.115 feet, will definitely take the Continental GT and its riders off the beaten track. For this reason, there is even seem to be a special helmet for Rhys Millen with additional oxygen to counteract the rapid increase in altitude.
