Bentley will display priceless heritage cars at the Le Mans Classic
A comprehensive collection of Bentley models will be on display, statically and dynamically from the past and present.
This year, the illustrious Le Mans Classic witnesses an unprecedented spectacle – the largest display of Bentley luxury cars, showcasing the brand's rich heritage and stellar innovations. The Bentley Continental GT Le Mans Collection, recently unveiled, makes its European static debut as a centrepiece of Bentley's grand presence.
Six compelling milestones mark Bentley's chronicle, starting with the GT Le Mans Collection. This limited-edition series commemorates the 20th anniversary of Bentley's sixth Le Mans victory and the centenary of this legendary race. Each luxury car in the collection sports unique features, including a Bentley Rotating Display and an engine valve from the 2003 Le Mans-winning Bentley Speed 8.
The second milestone introduces the 2002 Speed 8 002/6, the solitary Bentley entry in the 2002 Le Mans, taking a coveted fourth place. Next, we're treated to a glance back to 1929 with the 4½ Litre Supercharged Blower and the modern Blower Continuation Series, echoing the heroic era of Bentley Boy, Tim Birkin. The fourth milestone features the 1938 Corniche 4¼ Litre, an aerodynamic marvel inspired by the Embiricos Bentley. Next, we meet the 1953 R-Type and its modern counterpart, the GT V8 Azure. Known as the fastest four-seat luxury saloon of its time, the R-Type has been reborn in the handcrafted Azure to celebrate its 70th birthday.
Bentley's contemporary design language shines through in the final milestone – the 2019 Mulliner Batur. Limited to only 18 series examples, it flaunts Bentley's most powerful W12 engine and is the epitome of Bentley's future-proof Beyond100 strategy.
This immersive journey through Bentley's rich history, set amidst the excitement of Le Mans Classic, marks a remarkable milestone for luxury cars and motorsports enthusiasts worldwide. View all Bentley models currently for sale on duPont REGISTRY by clicking the link below.
