This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Continental GT, and Bentley is pulling out all the stops to celebrate. From special events to limited-edition releases, the luxury car brand is honoring this milestone in style. The brand made a grand entrance at the Shanghai Auto Show by unveiling a unique Bentley Continental GT S to mark the beginning of the celebrations.

The new GT S model boasts a stunning magnetic dark grey metallic exterior, complemented by a sleek interior featuring a striking combination of Beluga and Hotspur leather. The luxurious aesthetic is further enhanced with elegant piano black accents throughout the cabin. The vehicle boasts a sleek and stylish appearance with its 22-inch black chrome wheels.

The interior of the special Continental GT boasts a unique touch with an engraving of the 1st and 3rd generation GT shapes on the center console and passenger side dash. Additionally, the door sills feature a commemorative placard celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the Continental GT.

As we kick off the celebrations, this car marks the beginning of a series of exciting events throughout the year. Stay tuned for more updates! Bentley Motors has recently announced the opening of two new hubs in Crewe, England, and Geneva, Switzerland. These hubs will serve as a platform to display some of the most iconic Continental GTs from the model's history, which car enthusiasts can drive.

In addition to the aforementioned events, Goodwood will also be the venue for celebrating the birthdays of the GT and W12. The upcoming car exhibition promises to be a tribute to the vehicles featuring the engine that will cease production in April 2024. The icing on the cake for car enthusiasts at Monterey Car Week will be the reveal of a unique Continental GT. This one-of-a-kind vehicle draws inspiration from the original GT, VIN 20001, which was the first of its kind to be produced.
