Bentley has unveiled the Olympia Collection, a limited series of 12 Continental GT vehicles produced by the Mulliner coachbuilding division. This collection commemorates the 100th anniversary of the debut of the Bentley 6 ½ Litre, which was first presented as a complete car at the 1926 Olympia Motor Show. The project focuses on historical aesthetics and craftsmanship rather than mechanical modifications.
The exterior features a custom Ombré by Mulliner gradient paint finish, transitioning from Verdant green at the front to Midnight Emerald at the rear. According to the manufacturer, the application process for this paint job requires 56 hours of labor per vehicle. This involves multiple layers and hand-correction techniques to ensure a seamless blend across all body panels.
The interior design incorporates a combination of Coach Green and Cumbrian Green leather, complemented by black-stained open-pore crown-cut walnut veneer and Champagne Gold accents. Each unit includes a commemorative package consisting of a matching car cover, a book, a handover box, and a numbered Brooklands watch with a strap made from the same leather used in the cabin.
Bentley has not released information regarding pricing, specific regional availability, or performance specifications for the Olympia Collection. The manufacturer confirmed that the vehicles retain their standard powertrain configurations, as the project is strictly centered on bespoke finishes and period-correct detailing.
