Bentley Will Build Seven Continental GT Speeds Inspired By Breitling Jets

Bentley has announced it will build seven limited edition Continental GT Speed models, each inspired by one of the seven Breitling Jets.

Built by the company’s personalization division Mulliner, the handcrafted models will debut at the Boeing Seafair Airshow in Seattle on July 31. The Bentley Continental GT Speed Breitling Jet Team Series pays tribute to the Breitling Jet Team, which will be performing across the United States and Canada this summer in a grand tour.

To mark the event, Bentley’s Mulliner division has re-imagined the Continental GT Speed to mirror the distinctive look of the Breitling Jets. The exterior features a striking duo-tone split of Hallmark and Onyx with highlights color matched to the exact Pantone of Breitling’s unique Yellow, reflecting the trademark look of the L-39 Albatros Jets.

The bespoke color theme continues inside with unique sculpted seats featuring accents in Breitling Yellow. Each car is individually numbered and corresponds to one of the seven Breitling Jets. The dashboard’s carbon fiber fascia panel displays an image of the seven planes in their signature Avenger flight formation, with the corresponding jet highlighted in Breitling Yellow.

Mulliner has also matched the hide and thread to Breitling’s signature yellow and designed a series of logos and graphics for the headrests that highlight the number of each car and the jet that inspired it. The tread plate plaques are also individually numbered.

The cars will debut at the Boeing Seafair Airshow, where the key for each car will be handed over to its owner by the corresponding plane’s pilot.
