Endurance Race-Inspired Luxury Cars

The Bentley Continental 24 Honors the 24 Hours Nurburgring

— May 25, 2017 — Autos
The Bentley Continental 24 is a special edition model designed to celebrate the automaker's participation in the 24 Hours Nurburgring endurance race. The number "24" is obviously a reference to the race but it also tips off the planned production run, with all 24 cars destined for European customers. The Bentley Continental 24, based off the top-tier Supersports trim, is designed to mimic the GT car running in the German endurance race. There are carbon fiber bits on the exterior and in the interior, and the livery matches that of the racing Continental.

For those who don't want a black and yellow car the Bentley Continental 24 is also available in a red and black crystal exterior color scheme. Regardless of the color chosen all buyers will get a four-seat coupe with a ridiculous 6.0-liter W12 engine capable of pumping out 700 horsepower and 750 lb-ft of torque. Delivery is set to begin in July and prices start at $280,600.
