The Middle East isn't the only region to get a pair of special edition Bentleys as the British automaker unveiled the Continental GTC and GTC Speed 80-11 models designed exclusively for North America on the Concept Lawn at this past weekend's 60th Annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. For those wondering about the designation, the 80 stands for the number of units that will be built and the "11" indicates the cars' model year (2011).
And yes, as you probably already suspect, the changes over the standard Continental GTC and GTC Speed convertibles are purely cosmetic. Both cars are offered in a variety of colors including a new and unique finish called "Midnight", combined with a Dark Grey Metallic soft top and the Mulliner fuel-filler cap plus Union Jack brightware badges on the front fenders as standard.
The GTC, which boasts a twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 engine producing 552HP and 479 lb-ft of torque for a top speed of 195mph (190mph with the top down) and a 0-60mph sprint time of 4.8 seconds, also gets new 20-inch 4-spoke alloy diamond wheels, polished with unique black center caps.
The sportier GTC Speed model, which uses an uprated twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 with 600HP and 553 lb-ft of torque for a top speed of 200mph (195mph with top down) and a 0-60mph time of 4.5 seconds, is offered with dark tinted 20-inch alloy wheels displaying red brake calipers underneath.
Inside, the firm's designers dressed the interior in Beluga leather with contrast stitching, piping and Bentley emblems in white on the GTC and Pillar Box Red on the GTC Speed. In addition, both cars get Piano Black trim and engine-turned aluminum dash with a bright finish in the GTC and a dark finish for the GTC Speed.
The "race-inspired" drilled alloy sport foot pedals along with the special treadplates and a badge on the console which are both branded with the "80-11 Edition" signature, complete the look.
