Bentley Continental 24 Celebrates Nürburgring 24 Hour Race Return
Bentley Continental 24 will be limited to sales in Europe and only 24 units of the Supersports-based special edition will be made.
Bentley Motorsport has again hit the headlines with the announcement of their return to the Nürburgring 24 Hours for the third consecutive year.. The team hopes for podium success with its three Continental GT3 racers.
The cars prepped by Bentley Team ABT, a division of well-known ABT Sportsline, with a former track record of competing in 3 races at the Nürburgring in 2017 and performing pretty well then, will be supported by the Bentley Motorsport crew. All the three cars would run on Yokohama tires.
To celebrate the team’s participation in the legendary ADAC Zurich 24-Hour Race at the Nürburgring, Bentley has unveiled the Continental 24 – a limited edition series of 24 magnificent cars, exclusively for Europe. Built on the 700 hp,1000 Nm Continental Supersports, the Continental 24 flaunts numerous motorsports themed design cues on its inside and outside.

The race themed interiors feature carbon-fiber-finished fascias, door panels and individually-numbered treadplates. The diamond-quilted seats and the accent color theme to match the exteriors, highlighting the curves of the cabin are the other key features inside. The headrests featuring a unique emblem and the “Continental 24” inlays fitted onto the fascias are also worth mentioning.
