Bentley is commemorating two significant milestones, one being the 20th anniversary of their sixth win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and other being the 100th anniversary of the legendary race itself, by introducing a limited edition of Continental GT Coupés and Continental GTCs based on Le Mans winning Speed 8 race car from Bentley.
Bentley initially had a shaky start at Le Mans, but quickly turned things around with a factory entry in 1924 and five wins in the following decade. In 2001, they returned with the EXP Speed 8 and after a three-year program, Bentley's two factory Speed 8s finished first and second in the 2003 Le Mans 24 Hours race.
