Bentley Motors launches Le Mans Series Limited Edition collection

Bentley Motors has launched two exclusive and limited edition motors, specially developed to celebrate the company’s return to the world’s greatest motor race, Le Mans, after 71 Years. The introduction of these very special motors, of which only 150 Arnage and just 50 Continental R Le Mans Series models will be made, is already prompting these cars to be designated as collector’s items. Each is finished in an appropriately special Bentley green known as Verdant Green. The interiors, which showcase the leather working skills of Bentley Motors Crewe-based craftsmen feature two colours: the main trim is in Autumn Hide with contrasting detail in English Tan.

The Arnage Le Mans has its instrument gauges finished in racing green, with special Limited Edition insignia on the speedometer and tachometer and the gear lever is finished in English Tan hide.

Externally, 18 inch Le Mans Series five spoke, sports wheels and chrome, quad exhaust pipes on both sides of the modified rear bumper clearly proclaim the car’s heritage. Vents on the lower front wings and special badges designating the car as a Le Mans Series model underline the exclusivity of each one to be produced. Red brake calipers complete the subtle additions and ensure the car’s provenance is unmistakeable to enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.

The two-door Bentley Continental R Le Mans Series is developed from the beautiful Continental R Mulliner. This elegant and flawlessly built motor car is further distinguished from its four door sibling by sports seats with perforated hide, a unique front console package with racing style starter button and gear change knob with an integrated sports mode switch.

Racing green faces to the instrument gauges and winged Bentley emblems embossed into the English Tan hide front and rear head restraints, with co-ordinated two-one perforated leather seats further stress the exclusivity of this limited edition grand tourer, which boasts room for four adults to travel in unmitigated luxury and comfort.

The flared wheel arches, red-painted brake calipers, two sets of twin exhaust pipes on either side, front wing vents and front wing badges proclaiming the proud legend Le Mans Series, let expert and amateur know that this already remarkable motor car has a new identity.
