2024 Bentley Continental GTC Edition 8
About the Car
2024 Bentley Continental GTC Edition 8
As Bentley
prepares to introduce its new Ultra Performance Hybrid electrocharged
powertrain, a fitting American swansong has been created in celebration
of the powerful and charismatic 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. The Continental GT, Continental GTC and Flying Spur
‘Edition 8 ‘ will only be available in North America, and includes many
of the most sought-after Mulliner Personal Commissioning options.
Highlights
of the Edition 8 models include Blackline specification exterior
brightware, striking 22” wheels, in either 5 spoke or 10 spoke design,
Comfort Specification seats, Bentley’s acclaimed Rotating Display and
contrast stitching. Customers will be able to choose their preferred
paint finish from more than 60 colours in Mulliner’s Extended Paint
range as part of the package. Another Mulliner Personal Commissioning
option, Palm Fluting, gives front and rear seating a distinctive and
inviting style, and has never been offered on any mainstream Bentley
production model.
Other
thoughtful touches include self-levelling wheel badges, LED welcome
lamps, and the highly polished, engineered ‘jewel’ filler cap, a feature
originally created in response to a customer’s personal commission.
Edition 8 badging can be seen on the fender of the Continental GT and Continental GTC
models, while on the Flying Spur the badge is located on the D Pillar.
Inside, the Edition 8 motif can be found as an embroidered emblem upon
the seat backs as well as engraved on the treadplates.
Customers
in the North American market will be able to secure one of the last,
and most lavishly equipped, 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 models enjoying the
exclusivity that the Edition 8 badging confers – with first deliveries
due imminently.
Today’s V8 engine
Bentley is retiring its current-generation 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine from the Continental GT, Continental GTC and Flying Spur
model lines. Initially this will apply to the UK, Europe and MEAI,
while other areas, including North America, will follow later.
While the current engine will live on as part of the Bentayga family, the end of production for Continental and Flying Spur
ranges is the next step of Bentley’s Beyond100 strategy, with all model
lines offering a hybrid variant by 2024. This journey has already
begun, with the introduction of the Bentayga and Flying Spur Hybrid
models for which demand is exceeding the company’s expectations.
The
V8 internal combustion engine has played a key role at the heart of
many Bentleys over the last 75 years. The first L-Series V8 engine was
introduced in the S2 in 1959, developing 180 bhp. Today’s
current-generation V8 produces three times the power with two thirds of
the capacity.
Since the 4.0-litre V8’s introduction in 2012, more than 53,000 V8-powered Continental GT, GTC and Flying Spur examples have been produced, each one crafted entirely by hand at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe, England.
