Color Check: Bentley Continental GT Speed First Edition in Tourmaline Green

There’s something right about a green Bentley… especially an incredible specification like this new Continental GT Speed that turned up on the Global Media Drive for the new Continental GT Speed in Andermatt Switzerland. Bentley has released photos of each car on location for the drive. This includes full build specifications. Over the last week or so we’ve been color checking all of them, and next up is a great-looking super light blue known as Tourmaline Green.

On the lighter side of green, Tourmaline Green definitely seems to fit the part on a GT Speed without dipping too closely to British Green that, while iconic, is all-too-common on such cars. The hue is accented on this car with granite on the exterior brightware trim and grey-painted 22-inch ten swept spoke wheels with machined accent surfaces.

Inside, the cabin is a monotone Brunel leather with Mandarin accents, open pore Dark Burr fascias and contrast stitching throughout.

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.

Touring Specification (included in First Edition Specification) includes Lane Guidance, Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control, Night Vision and Head-up Display.
