2011 Bentley Continental GTC And GTC Speed 80-11 Editions

HI-RES GALLERY: 2011 Bentley Continental GTC And GTC Speed 80-11 Editions

Every year we hear about exclusive editions of luxury cars being released for only select markets--usually China, Europe, or the United Arab Emirates. Well, now it’s North America’s turn, as Bentley has just announced limited edition versions of both the 2011 Continental GTC and the 2011 Continental GTC Speed.

The 80-11 models, so named as there will only be 80 examples built of each vehicle in 2011, are basically specialized trim packages that will only be made available to North American consumers. Both convertibles will feature different 20-inch rims, with the GTC sporting a new 14-spoke alloy “diamond” (code for silver) look and the more powerful GTC Speed wearing the wheels from the Continental Supersports, but finished in a darker tint partially covering the red brake calipers underneath. In addition, while customers will still be able to select from amongst Bentley’s vast array of color choices, both cars will also be available in a new color called “Midnight.”

On the inside, both the GTC and the GTC Speed 80-11 will feature a Beluga interior with contrasted stitching, piping, and Bentley emblems (white on the GTC and red on the GTC Speed). Additionally, the dropheads will feature piano black veneers along with an aluminum dash (though the GTC Speed will have a darker finish). Finally, in addition to unique “80-11 Edition” badging, the two vehicles will feature drilled alloy foot pedals. Both the 80-11 Edition Continental GTC and the 80-11 Edition Continental GTC Speed will be available from Bentley dealers this fall.
