British luxury car-maker Bentley Motors' motorsport arm is gearing up to race in 24 Hours Nürburgring for the third consecutive year this week with its three Continental GT3s. To commemorate the team's participation, Bentley also unveiled Continental 24, a limited edition series of 24 bespoke models for Europe based on Continental Supersports.

Supersports is the fastest four-seater car in the world which Bentley unveiled in January. The range-topping Conti is also Bentley's most powerful, quickest and fastest vehicle till date.
The car is powered by a 6.0-litre W12 engine developing a power output of 700bhp at 6,000 rpm and a mammoth 1,017Nm of torque at 2,050-4,500rpm range. The mill is mated to ZF 8-speed automatic with Quickshift, Block Shifting and wheel-mounted paddleshift.
Continental 24 has performance figures identical to those of Supersports, with a top speed of 336 kmph and a 0-100 kmph time of 3.5 seconds.
The Continental 24 special edition features a wealth of interior and exterior design cues that reflect the car's motorsport themes. The highlight of the special edition is the two flashy dual-tone colour options -- Monaco Yellow over Black Crystal and St James' Red over Black Crystal. The special edition is also available in single-tone colours.
Black 21-inch lightweight forged wheels are offered in yellow or red accents to match the paintwork. The snazzy exterior package also includes carbon fibre door mirrors, black brake calipers and all-black exterior brightware.
The interior is similarly race-themed with individually-numbered tread plates finished in carbon fibre. The diamond-quilting to all four seats is in Alcantara, while an accent colour theme to match the exterior paint highlights the curves of the cabin. The headrests feature a unique emblem, while Continental 24 inlays are fitted to the fascias.
Bentley will start deliveries of Continental 24 in July, with prices starting at €250,000.
