Two brand new Bentley Continental in the Blancpain Endurance Series
Bentley will enter two Continental cars in this year’s Blancpain Endurance Series. Both cars will be entered in the Pro-category; the driver line-ups will be announced shortly.

The Bentley Continental is one of the most long-awaited cars for the 2014 Blancpain GT Series. The car, developed by Bentley in co-operation with M-Sport, made its race debut last December, during the 12 hours of Abu Dhabi. The white and British Racing Green machine performed splendidly, finishing in fourth place.

Powered by a race-prepared version of Bentley’s powerful road-going 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and with the instantly recognisable shape of the Continental GT, the car is a true member of the Continental family. Alongside its racing ambitions, it retains its luxury Grand Tourer roots, with the steering wheel, carbon racing seat and leather door-pulls all trimmed and stitched by hand by the craftsmen and women at the Bentley factory in Crewe.
