- Seven limited edition Continental GT Speeds inspired by famed jets
- Handcrafted models take Mulliner customisation to new heights
- Models to debut at Boeing Seafair Air Show, Seattle (USA)
Bentley is taking its fusion of luxury and performance to new heights with the launch of the Continental GT Speed
"Breitling Jet Team" series. This exclusive edition is limited to just seven cars, each inspired by one of the seven
Breitling Jets.
Renowned for their precision, speed and daring, this summer the Breitling Jet Team will be performing across the
United States and Canada in a grand tour of epic proportions. To commemorate this spectacle, Bentley’s Mulliner
division has re-imagined the Continental GT Speed to take on the distinctive look of the Breitling Jets.

The exterior is painted in a striking duo-tone split of Hallmark and Onyx with highlights colour matched to the exact
Pantone of Breitling’s unique Yellow, reflecting the trademark look of the L-39 Albatros Jets.
This bespoke colour theme is continued on the interior, with unique sculpted seats featuring accents in Breitling
Yellow.
Each car is individually numbered and corresponds to one of the seven Breitling Jets. The dashboard’s carbon fibre
fascia panel displays an image of the seven planes in their signature Avenger flight formation, with the corresponding
jet highlighted in Breitling Yellow.
Similarly, Mulliner has matched the hide and thread to Breitling’s signature yellow and designed a series of logos and
graphics for the head restraints that highlight the number of each car and the jet that inspired it. The tread plate
plaques are also individually numbered.
The series will debut at the Boeing Seafair Air Show on 31st July 2015 in Seattle, Washington, USA, where the
Breitling Jet Team is performing. The key for each car will be handed over to its owner by the corresponding plane’s
pilot ..... after they have experienced a flight in the jet that inspired their car.
Geoff Dowding, Director of Mulliner, said: “The Continental GT Speed Breitling Jet Team Series demonstrates the
level of customisation Mulliner can achieve for customers. Creating this very special edition has been an exciting
experience for the entire team, taking inspiration from the Breitling Jet Team’s grand tour.”

About Mulliner
Mulliner responds to the requirements of Bentley customers. The specialist division’s Limited Editions reflect
carefully chosen themes. Individually these might have special significance for customers in specific markets, but what
they all share is the high standard of Mulliner craftsmanship.
About the Breitling Jet Team
The Breitling Jet Team, supported by the independent Swiss watch company
Breitling, is the world’s largest professional civilian flight team performing
in jets. The team is comprised of seven L-39 C Albatros jets that can reach
speeds of up to 565 mph and fly within just a few feet of each other.
Widely recognized for their precision and seamless coordination displayed
throughout high-speed aerobatic performances, the France-based team brings their
unmatched flying to North America for the first time, mirroring the quality and
precision of a Breitling timepiece.
