Bentley Motors is going to launch two special edition Continental models exclusively for the China market. The two models, Continental Flying Spur Speed China and the Continental GT Design Series China, will be making their debut at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show.

Bentley has claimed that the Chinese market has proved very special in terms of sales for them, as the sales have grown ten fold since 2002 when Bentley entered China. The Chinese market is presently the third most important market for Bentley and the proof lies with Bentley ready to open four new showrooms in the course of 2010 and 2011.

The Continental GT Design Series China will be the first to go up at the Auto China Motor Show. The pictures tell us that it’s a wonderful blend of Bentley’s exclusive creativity and style to produce imaginative colors and vibrant designs.

The main highlight is the three-tone interiors, which blend the main, hide leather color with accent and insert colors making the overall look very appealing. These colors have been carefully used in minute details as the hand stitching on the steering wheel, seat belts, floor mats and seat piping. This is the first time Bentley will be using exciting colors as Orange Flame and Magenta Metallic as accent colors.

Bentley’s styling team has further added some selected wood veneers such as Piano Black and Burr Walnut, which have been reserved for the Design Series China edition.

These cars will be further decorated with some subtle design features or motifs that include exterior wing badge, treadplate, and name badge. All these features will have Design Series China signature.

Joining The Continental GT Design China will be the Continental Flying Spur Speed China which is the World’s fastest luxury four-door saloon but with a range of engineering and design upgrades developed specially for the Chinese market.

Emphasis has been given to the superior ride quality of the car by adding a bespoke ‘comfort’ suspension for a better ride quality for both driver and passengers. While the performance of the W12 engine is no way hampered and the performance figures remain the same, the exhaust has been re tuned for a quieter performance.

The more obvious design features that adorn the ‘Speed China’ accentuate the special edition status and can be seen on the treadplates, center console and wing badges. Bentley’s famous ‘B’ emblem will be seen affixed to the both the ‘C’ pillars. Along with this custom leather cushions will be found on the passenger seat with embroidered Bentley wings on them.

“Bentley has a long and proud tradition of creating exclusive cars designed to meet the styling and driving tastes of our customers, wherever in the world they might be. Designed and offered exclusively for our customers in China, these special-edition Bentleys showcase our styling and engineering teams’ abilities and also underlines our desire to create cars for this influential market” said Geoff Dowding, Regional Director, Asia and Middle East

Both models can be seen on the Bentley stand in Hall E5 of the Auto China Motor Show in Beijing which runs between 23rd April and the 2nd May in the New International Exhibition Centre.
