Bentley is ringing in its 100th year with a record-breaking run up the world famous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb course in Colorado. Piloted by veteran racing driver Rhys Millen, the new Bentley Continental GT now holds the outright record for production cars by 8.4 seconds. A camera mounted to Rhys’ race helmet reveals footage from a driver’s point-of-view as he tackles the 156 corners, climbing almost 5,000ft in 10m18.488s.

The Pikes Peak project was supported by Bentley’s technical partners Mobil1, Lifeline, Brembo SGL Group, and Pirelli, and by exhaust partner Akrapovič.
