Le Mans has been part of Bentley’s DNA for 100 years. Bentley entered the very first 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1923 and went on to take an astonishing five wins between 1924 and 1930, with this exceptionally demanding race pushing the company on to ever-greater heights of engineering innovation. In 2001, Bentley returned to Le Mans and secured third place. But the team wanted more, so they came back again the next year, and the year after that. And in 2003, the Speed 8 took both first and second place – just as Bentley had done 73 years earlier. Now, in celebration of that stunning victory, Bentley are thrilled to release the Continental GT Le Mans Collection, an exclusive coupé crafted by Mulliner.
The Continental GT Le Mans Collection is a series of specially designed and luxuriously crafted coupes, with fewer than 50 cars created. The collection represents a stunning example of Mulliner craftsmanship – one inspired by a truly glorious episode in the Bentley story. The Le Mans Collection relives this moment, while also representing the enduring spirit of the Bentley brand. Consider it a fitting tribute to Bentley’s long racetrack history.
Based on the Continental GT Speed, the cars in the Le Mans Collection represent the ultimate in Bentley performance. They are powered by the latest iteration of Bentley’s legendary 6.0 litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine, the most successful 12-cylinder engine in history. But the engine is only part of the story. The cars also showcase the very latest in Bentley’s chassis technology. That means they are equipped with active all-wheel drive, an 8-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, all-wheel steering and torque vectoring by both brake and electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD) – for total control, even when the car is pushed to the limit.
The incredible performance of these special edition cars is matched only by their luxurious specification. Demonstrating the ultimate in bespoke Mulliner design and craftsmanship, every car in the Le Mans Collection celebrates a moment in motorsport history that will never be forgotten.
Inside and out, the cars stand as stunning examples of Mulliner’s design
and craftsmanship. From the exterior paintwork and racetrack-style
detailing to bespoke illumination and unique features such as the clock,
every aspect of these cars has been tailored to tell a story. And as a
commemorative finishing touch, a genuine piece of history is displayed
in the centre window of the Bentley Rotating Display: a carefully
machined slice of a valve from the engine that powered the winning Speed
8, back on that unforgettable day in 2003.

Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows F Vindis & Sons (Bedford) Ltd, F Vindis & Sons (Peterborough) Ltd, F Vindis & Sons (Sawston) Ltd, F Vindis & Sons (St Ives) Ltd and Vindis Group Ltd, to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only. We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
