bentley Continental GTC Speed 80-11

Close Up on Bentley's 80-11 Edition Continental GTC and GTC Speed

The Paris Auto Show is where the next Bentley Continental GT will be revealed, but that will concern the coupe only. The convertible GTC will continue a while longer while the new body style is prepared for its own fashion show next year. To keep North American buyers enticed, Bentley's dressed up the GTC and GTC Speed in Midnight paint and various accoutrement and called it the 80-11 Edition.

Shown off at Pebble Beach, in addition to their unique hue they both get shiny Union Jack badges on their front fenders, Dark Metallic soft tops and heavy-as-billet Mulliner gas tank caps. When it comes to telling the apart, the GTC gets 20-inch, 14-spoke wheels with black centers while the GTC Speed gets the lighter-weight Continental Supersports wheel in a dark tint, under which reside red brake calipers. Inside, they both get turned aluminum dashes and Beluga leather but the GTC gets contrasting white stitching, the GTC Speed wears Pillar Box Red stitching.

The final thing they have in common: FlexFuel engines capable of running on E85. Meaning the only thing you'll lose with these two is carbon emissions. They'll be arriving in dealer showrooms later this year.

If you were disappointed to learn that the latest limited edition Bentley Continentals were limited exclusively to the Middle East, we've got good news for you. The British prestige marque has announced another pair of specials, these destined exclusively to the North American market.

The 80-11 edition can be ordered on either the Continental GTC or GTC Speed, and upgrade on the standard models with special 20-inch wheels, brake calipers and badging, plus the availability of an exclusive Midnight paint shade. The name is derived from the limited run of 80 models available, and the 2011 model year in which they'll be built.
