New Special Edition Supersports Convertible

Special Edition Supersports ConvertibleTo celebrate the 205.5mph (330.7km/h) world ice-speed record that was set two weeks ago by Finland’s four-time world rally champion Juha Kankkunen in a Continental Supersports convertible, Bentley has unveiled a new special edition version of its drop-top model that will be built in a limited run of 100 units.

To be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show on March 1, the new Supersports ‘Ice Speed Record’ will be available in a choice of three bespoke paint colours - Beluga, Quartzite and Arctica White. Whatever color you choose, the soft-top is finished in a dark grey 'metallic look'. The special edition also gets new 20-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels with a dark tint finish that are wrapped in Pirelli 275/35ZR20 ultra high performance tires.

Bentley Flying Spur Series 51 at Geneva Auto Show

Geneva 2011 Bentley Flying Spur Series 51
Bentley has officially showcased their Flying Spur Series 51 at the Geneva Motor Show. The Series 51 models were first seen on the Bentley Continental GT and GTC, but now the package is also an option for the Continental Flying Spur. The Series 51 are named after Bentley’s first official styling department in the 1950s.
Series 51 designs allow customers to tailor their cars to their individual tastes. They can choose from an extensive line-up of special colors, materials and options. Bentley has reserved the limited-edition Sapelli Pomelle veneer for the Series 51 Flying Spur and a range of further options, including Bentley’s leather trimmed child seat and scatter cushions for the rear seats, may also be specified. They have also created an unique Series 51 graphite-finished nine-spoke, 19 inch sports alloy wheel, while twin Series 51 wing badges, positioned behind the front wheel arches, complete the bespoke look.
