The iconic marque showcased its rich heritage and modern prowess, underscoring why Bentley remains a symbol of luxury and performance in the automotive world.
The New Continental GT Speed Debut
Bentley introduced the fourth-generation Continental GT Speed to the US market at this year's Monterey Car Week. This highly anticipated model was not just any car—it was a personalized creation by Bentley's bespoke division, Mulliner. The event marked the first time journalists and customers could experience the Continental GT Speed on the road, setting a new benchmark in the Grand Tourer category. This model is a testament to Bentley's commitment to blending luxury with performance, and its debut is sure to make waves in the market for luxury cars in Dubai and beyond.
A Classic Reborn: The 1961 S2 Drophead Coupe
Adding a touch of nostalgia to the event, Bentley unveiled the meticulously restored 1961 S2 Drophead Coupe. This rare gem, one of only 15 ever built by Mulliner, was displayed at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance for the first time by Bentley itself. The restoration of this classic vehicle was a labor of love, with every detail meticulously returned to its former glory. The S2 Drophead Coupe’s connection to the new Continental GT Speed Convertible underscores Bentley's enduring design philosophy, seamlessly blending the old with the new.
Speed Six Continuation Series: A Nod to Bentley's Racing Heritage
Monterey Car Week also witnessed the debut of the Speed Six Continuation Series, a modern homage to Bentley’s 1930 Le Mans-winning car. The newly-built Speed Six ‘Car Zero’ was crafted with the same precision and materials as the original, offering a glimpse into Bentley’s storied racing history. This project from Mulliner’s Classic division not only celebrates Bentley's past but also highlights the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and engineering excellence.
