Two Bentley Continental Exclusively for China

British carmaker Bentley announced yesterday it is getting ready to unveil two versions of the Continental model, both specifically built for the Chinese market. The decision was made because China is currently the third largest market for the luxury carmaker.

Dubbed Continental GT Design Series China, the first model will be debuted at the 2010 Auto China Motor Show. Unique features of this model include the three-tone interior (the models will be the first to feature Orange and Magenta as accent colors), wood veneers including Piano Black and dark-stained Burr Walnut, an exterior wing badge, treadplate and name badge positioned on the centre console.

The second model, baptized Continental Flying Spur Speed China offers a comfort suspension setting, 20-inch multi-spoke Speed wheels and "Speed China" treadplates and wing badges. Each of the two cars will also come with a special display case for the ignition key.

“Bentley has a long and proud tradition of creating exclusive cars designed to meet the styling and driving tastes of our customers, wherever in the world they might be. Designed and offered exclusively for our customers in China, these special-edition Bentleys showcase our styling and engineering teams’ abilities and also underlines our desire to create cars for this influential market,” Geoff Dowding, Regional Director, Asia and Middle East said.

Both models can be seen on the Bentley stand in Hall E5 of the Auto China Motor Show in Beijing which runs between 23rd April and the 2nd May in the New International Exhibition Centre.
