Color Check: Bentley Continental GT Speed First Edition in Magenta

Bentley is rolling out the Global Media Drive in Andermatt Switzerland for the new Continental GT Speed and has dropped a comprehensive mix of photos of each car on location for the drive, including full build specifications. Over the next couple of days we’ll color check all of them, but figured we’d catch with the one that is likely the most attention-getting.

On the outside, the most striking part of this build is its Magenta paint, with granite finish on the typical brightwork and rounded out by grey painted 22-inch ten-swept-spoke wheels with machined faces. Inside, the cabin is monotone with Gravity Grey leather and Magenta accents, dark tinted Diamond Brushed Aluminum trim and Magenta contrast stitching nearly everywhere.

Worth noting, the car also has several options that we’ll list here along with U.S. pricing. These include First Edition Specification ($39,940), Carbon Ceramic Brakes with Painted Calipers ($18,820), Extended Range Solid and Metallic Paint ($8,655), 22-inch Ten Swept Spoke Wheels ($4,400) and Contrast Stitching ($3,930).

First Edition Specification includes Touring Specification, Front Seat Comfort Specification, Front Wellness Seating including postural and lumbar adjustment, Naim Audio, Bentley Rotating Display, Technical Veneer Choice or Single Finish Veneer, Animated LED Welcome Lamps by Mulliner, Mood Lighting Specification, Deep Pile Overmats front and rear, First Edition Exterior Badge, First Edition Treadplates, First Edition Embroidery to Seats, Garage Door Opener and Valet Key.

Front Seat Comfort Specification (included in First Edition Specification) includes Adjustable Seat Bolsters, Adjustable Seat Cushion Length, Power Adjustable Headrest, Ventilation and Massage, Heated Front Armrest and Hide Trimmed Seat Belt Buckles.
