Bentley Marks Pikes Peak Triumph With Limited-Edition Continental GT

A Bentley took the honors at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb this year. The Continental didn’t just win the event—it made the run in 10:18.488, besting the previous record by 8.4 seconds.

The automaker wasted no time in responding to Rhys Millan’s record-setting victory with a limited production run Continental to commemorate the brand’s performance at the annual competitive event in Colorado, managing to design a special cosmetics package for the model, unveil it, and open up the order books for it before the end of the year. That’s pretty good time, too.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Pikes Peak Continental is the color used for the photo shoot. Bentley calls it Radium, and it is used as both main color and accent, popping up in various places in the interior, and even on the tires. The brake calipers are a little darker, though; that color is Bentley’s Acid Green.

Carbon fiber and Gloss Black feature heavily in the build as well. Trim, wheels, and a body kit are all in black, as well as side mirror caps, roof panel and other components; and, for buyers who need a Batmobile, the paint can be optioned in black. The edition specific badging includes a graphic on the glove box that features the record-setting time and a map of the track in Radium.

Bentley will only build 15 Continentals with the Pikes Peak package. They will be priced according to options specified.
