Bentley Continental GTC Speed 80-11 Wallpaper

Bentley Continental GTC Speed Wallpaper

The Middle East isn't the only region to get a pair of special edition Bentleys as the British automaker unveiled the Continental GTC and GTC Speed 80-11 models designed exclusively for North America on the Concept Lawn at this past weekend's 60th Annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. For those wondering about the designation, the 80 stands for the number of units that will be built and the "11" indicates the cars' model year (2011).

And yes, as you probably already suspect, the changes over the standard Continental GTC and GTC Speed convertibles are purely cosmetic. Both cars are offered in a variety of colors including a new and unique finish called "Midnight", combined with a Dark Grey Metallic soft top and the Mulliner fuel-filler cap plus Union Jack brightware badges on the front fenders as standard.

The GTC, which boasts a twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 engine producing 552HP and 479 lb-ft of torque for a top speed of 195mph (190mph with the top down) and a 0-60mph sprint time of 4.8 seconds, also gets new 20-inch 4-spoke alloy diamond wheels, polished with unique black center caps.

The sportier GTC Speed model, which uses an uprated twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 with 600HP and 553 lb-ft of torque for a top speed of 200mph (195mph with top down) and a 0-60mph time of 4.5 seconds, is offered with dark tinted 20-inch alloy wheels displaying red brake calipers underneath.

Inside, the firm's designers dressed the interior in Beluga leather with contrast stitching, piping and Bentley emblems in white on the GTC and Pillar Box Red on the GTC Speed. In addition, both cars get Piano Black trim and engine-turned aluminum dash with a bright finish in the GTC and a dark finish for the GTC Speed.

The "race-inspired" drilled alloy sport foot pedals along with the special treadplates and a badge on the console which are both branded with the "80-11 Edition" signature, complete the look.

Mansory Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Wallpaper

Mansory is probably a name synonymous for outrages designs like the previously featured Porsche Panamera, but unusually they’ve gone for a more reserved look (as reserved as they can get) with the Mansory Bugatti Veyron 16.4 LINEA Vincero d’Oro.

If you’ve been paying attention to our brief Italian lessons with the JDM Alfa Romeo GT Quadrifoglio d’ Oro special edition, d’Oro means gold, and there’s lots of it on this particular reiteration of the VW hypercar.

Using the LINEA Vincerò line, Mansory have changed the cars exterior with modified fenders, a shortened bonnet, a front apron, new front end, side skirts, new diffusers, larger air outlets at the rear and at the sides.

This was then covered with gold which can be seen on the turbine design alloy wheels, curved grill featuring the stylised “Vincerò-V”, the door handles, the rear view mirror caps the fuel tank cap, headlight washer nozzle covers, the borders around the daytime running LEDs and the decorative features on the roof.

Inside the interior hasn’t been spared the gold treatment as the car’s interior lighting has a golden hue along with trim around the car such as the door trim, around the steering wheel and the centre console. Mansory have only produced one unit, but no doubt they would gladly make another if requested.
