48 Special Continental GT Owners Have To Fight Over These 20 Special Editions

Bentley has just delivered a very special Bentayga to a very devoted customer. The Bentayga Apex Edition by Mulliner, in full Le Mans Collection trim and livery, is only available to buyers who have the same special spec in a very limited edition of the Continental GT or Convertible.

Which means that if you have one of these Super SUVs, you have to really love Bentley and it’s Le Mans history. We mean really love it.

A Limited Edition Exclusively For Owners Of An Older Limited Edition

In 2023, Bentley launched the Le Mans Collection Continental GT. The car marked 20 years since the British automaker returned to Le Mans, and only 48 copies were made. Half were coupes, half were based on the convertible GTC.

The cars included a valve from the engine of the 2003 Le Mans-winning car in their rotating display. Each came with a special sculpture of the Le Mans car, a book, and a car cover. They were only offered in Verdant Green, the color of the racers.

This collaboration with the tattoo artist Bang Bang is something special.

While there were 48 of those, Bentley is only building a maximum of 20 copies of the Bentayga SUVs that are inspired by it. If you want one, you have to have bought one of the Continentals. Don’t have a Le Mans Conti? No Bentayga for you!

Apex Edition Bentayga Adds Serious Performance Parts

The Apex Edition Bentayga is based on the Bentayga S. It’s the 542-horsepower version of the SUV with its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 also making 568 lb-ft of torque. Apex Edition includes carbon fiber Mulliner wheels. The 22-inch wheels take 98 pounds of unsprung weight off of the SUV.

Under 100 pounds might not mean much on a 5,400-pound SUV, but the carbon ceramic brakes should. Even under the weight and power of this beast, they should remain fade-free time after time.

The Le Mans Collection models, an edition limited to 20, are painted Verdant to match the Continental GT that the customers own. It has a moonbeam racing stripe just like the Continental, and it has a matching painted number 7 on the grille, matching both the Le Mans car and the owner’s Continental.

Pimp my… Sorry, bespoke my ride.

Inside, this SUV is finished in Beluga hide and Dinamica microfiber. The contrast seat stitching comes in Hotspur.

Who owns these two very Verdant green automobiles? Would you believe us if we said they were Irish? Mark King, a Bentley collector and enthusiast, is from Northern Ireland. Bentley says he is carrying on a family tradition with the brand, and this is certainly a brand that enjoys tradition.

King’s existing collection includes a Bentayga Speed that has covered more than 100,000 miles, including towing his Continental GT-3 R and Continental Flying Spur. What a legend.
