Bentley Presents Continental GT V8 Convertible Art Car

View

In case you were ever wondering how an art car looked like, then you should take a good look at this one-off Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible, built by the British company in a joint venture with Sir Peter Blake, who is a real Bentley lover.

The Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible Art Car was built with the sole purpose of being auctioned off at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, starting 24th of June, with the funds going to the Care2Save Charitable Trust, that offers palliative and hospice care throughout the world.

As we can depict from the one-off pictures, the Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible Art Car is standing out from the crowd with the British Racing Green lower body color, perfectly complementing the St Luke`s Blue on the upper part.

Other exterior tweaks refer to the Fuchsia pink radiator shell, black accents, as well as the St James Red heart motif on the Continental Yellow hood.

The same color theme is highlighted in the cabin, the interior featuring different colors for each seat, like Cumbrian Green, Newmarket Tan, Hotspur or Imperial Blue. We can also see a four-color steering, Piano Black trim or pink leather shifter, along with sill plates as well as the Blake`s signature embroidered on the seat headrests.

Under the hood, the Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible Art Car packs a 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 engine, with 520 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque, hooked to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which sends the power to all wheels. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is done in 4.5 seconds, at a topping of 181 mph.
