British luxury car brand, Bentley, has created a special edition of its Continental GT S to commemorate the Continental GT3's victory at the 2020 Bathurst 12 Hour endurance race.

Through its bespoke division, Mulliner, the company has crafted not one, but two unique vehicles, both of which take inspiration from the winning #7 race car.

The first of the two vehicles boasts a bright Apple Green exterior with a contrasting Beluga Black Roof. The dark accents continue on to the lower section of the bumper, side mirror caps, and trunk lid. Polished black replaces all of the standard bright chrome while a number seven has been painted onto the grille to mirror the race car. Additionally, the vehicle features a Styling Specification which includes a front splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser all made of carbon fiber.

 

 

The interior of the Continental GT S is a significant upgrade compared to the race car. The cabin features Beluga with Apple Green leather upholstery, with the word "Bathurst" stitched onto the headrests. The treadplates also feature the words "One of Two" to highlight the vehicle's rarity. A metal overlay of the race track is also adorning the passenger side of the carbon fiber-clad dashboard. The center console is also adorned with the winning #7 and the names of the drivers.

The second vehicle, painted in Silver Tempest, is modeled after the second-generation Continental GT3. It also features the Styling Specification and black chrome accents, as well as a unique cabin. Both cars come bundled with a 1:18 scale model of the winning car and a commemorative framed artifact.

Under the hood, the special-edition duo from Bentley and Mulliner is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, producing 542 horsepower and 770 Newton-meters (568 pound-feet) of torque. The S version also comes with a sports exhaust fitted as standard equipment, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just four seconds.
