The Pikes Peak Continental GT Limited Edition is one of the most eyecatching coupes on the road today with its Radium by Mulliner paintwork, lightweight carbon fiber body kit, and Acid Green brake calipers making sure no one can possibly mistake it for a standard Continental GT. Spotting a Pikes Peak edition in the wild will be rare since just 15 of these limited editions have been delivered to their new owners around the world.
Apparently, at least one owner decided to be a little more subtle and ordered their car in black.
Owners are from around the world including Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, New Zealand, Latvia, and the United Kingdom. Your best chance of spotting one is in the USA as five of them have made their way stateside. If you are in the U.S. look for the bright green Bentley in Manhattan, Fort Lauderdale, Troy, Rancho Mirage, or Omaha you might be lucky enough to see one.
The limited-edition car celebrates the Continental GT shattering the Pikes Peak production car by more than eight seconds, at the hands of racing legend Rhys Millen, climbing almost 5,000 ft through 156 bends, in just 10 minutes, 18.4 seconds. Customers had the option of getting the exact same livery as the race-winning car, yet only a third of customers ticked the box on the order form, which seems like an opportunity missed.
Mechanically the Pikes Peak Contential GT Limited Edition packs the same twin-turbocharged Bentley W12 develops 626 bhp and 900 Nm of torque, accelerating the Continental GT from 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 207 mph.
Below are a few images of the actual record-setting GT when it was on display here in Texas in 2019:
