The clue is in the name and also in the images, which see this new Conti racing alongside the Bentley Speed 8 at the Circuit de la Sarthe: this car is a celebration of Le Mans, both for the Speed 8 victory in 2003 , as well as the overall 100-year history of the race, with which Bentley has a history dating back to the very first race. Yes, it was a Bentley that set the fastest lap in the very first 24 Hours of Le Mans.
However, this Continental is more reminiscent of the 2003 Speed 8 conquest, with a number of references to the sixth and last time the Flying B won in the world’s greatest motor race. These include the Moonbeam racing stripe and highlights, the race winner’s ‘7’ flashing on the grille, and Verdant green paint. The lower front bumper area is finished in Beluga Black as part of the Blackline specification, which echoes the Speed 8’s green and black livery.
