:. The New Continental GT |
|
|
|
We have been waiting 50 years for this moment and now the
Continental GT is born.
The new Continental GT will catapult us into the 21st Century head
and shoulders above our competitors. However, to all you Bentley
enthusiasts out there, do not fear, because Bentley have kept all
things such as style, class and power so not to lose all things
sacred to the Bentley marque.
From the start the driving philosophy behind the Continental GT has
been to produce a car with true supercar performance in a package so
effective that owners who used it every day would find a car with a
complete range of answers to the questions posed by daily life on
the road. Unlike typical supercars it would be refined, comfortable
and seat four people; unlike other large coupés, it would also be
utterly thrilling to drive.
However, if refinement, class, power and uniqueness are what you
aspire to then the Continental GT will be worth waiting for.

Breitling and Bentley Motors have teamed up to form a unique
partnership on three levels. First, Breitling have participated in
the styling of instrumentation in the new Continental GT. More
specifically, Breitling’s signature will appear on the dashboard
clock, a first for Bentley. In addition Breitling will join Team
Bentley for Le Mans 2003 and produce a unique chronograph bearing
the prestigious Bentley name.
Both brands share a coherent identity which focuses on performance,
prestige and tradition coupled with technical innovation. The
evolution of what is to be a three tiered partnership begins with a
branded clock which will be centrally mounted within the Continental
GT’s famed Bentley winged interior design. This perfectly
compliments the surrounding chrome instruments and classic bullseye
ventilation outlets. It is the first time Bentley have implemented a
branded clock within their luxurious hand crafted interior.
The famous 24hr race at Le Mans is of great significance for Bentley
with the re-emergence of a race car since the days of the legendary
Bentley Boys over 70 years ago. In 2003 Breitling will be the main
sponsor for Team Bentley, its name firmly positioned across both
front wings and side panels. This is the ultimate platform,
highlighting mutual brand values for performance and precision in
the most challenging of environments.
Furthermore, to emphasis this dynamic relationship, Breitling will
present an exceptional new chronograph at the Geneva motor show in
March 2003. This wrist instrument has been designed to perfectly
reflect the distinct styling of the Continental GT, including
elements which mirror the knurled finishes traditionally found in
Bentleys. Driven by an exclusive Breitling self-winding movement,
and premiering innovative functions, this watch will certainly stand
out in celebration of this auspicious partnership.
