We don’t know about you, but when hearing the words “Bentley Continental GT” the idea of a British automobile doesn’t immediately come to our mind. This is because the car is so pompous and overstated that it is more suited for flamboyant millionaires and pop start than gentlemen racers.
In this day and age, that doesn’t really matter though, and what really counts is offering stand-out features like LED lights and big chrome wheels. But what do you do when the standard car just isn’t good enough to impress your friends at the Gumball 3000?
Bentley hopes it has cracked that problem with a new range of styling options named Mulliner Styling Specification Classic Pack. The factory-fitted mods cover a new front bumper splitter, strakes integrated into the front intake grilles, side extension blades and a rear diffuser, all which are made from high-gloss, black carbon-fiber, because nothing says “I’ve got money” like adding carbon-fiber to your car.
Bentley also offers customers the option of specifying a new spoiler and door mirror cowls made of the same light-weight material, as well as black 21-inch ‘Elegant’ alloy wheels and dark mesh front wing vents with black carbon-fiber bezels.
“The Mulliner Styling Specification, with its sharper lines and darker, lower appearance subtly underscores the extrovert, flamboyant nature of our new Coupe. It delivers a more personalized, sportive interpretation of a luxurious, refined GT,” said Raul Pires, Bentley’s head of exterior design.
The Mulliner Styling Specification Classic Pack is already available for order, but the optional extras we mentioned will only arrive this autumn. We won’t go to much into specifics, but we’d like to mention the carbon-fiber mirror cowls will cost $2,905 (€2,050). Is it worth it? You be the judge!
