Last June, Bentley Ho Chi Minh introduced the Continental GTC S V8 – Vietnam Skyline Edition, a luxurious open-top supercar, to Vietnam. However, it took 18 months for the vehicle to make its public debut and find its owner.
The Bentley Continental GTC S V8 Vietnam Skyline Edition is a unique masterpiece inspired by the urban nightlife. Its Onyx Black exterior exudes depth, harmonizing with the black fabric roof and the Blackline Specification, featuring sleek, glossy black accents.
The Styling Specification adds a subtle contrast with its black carbon fiber bodykit, accented by a striking Arctica trim. The intricate three-spoke wheels draw attention, revealing the red brake calipers—a small yet bold detail.
The Bentley Continental GTC S V8 Vietnam Skyline Edition project spanned over three years. It included one year of planning with Bentley’s Mulliner customization department in the UK to select the paint, interior, and another year for production and delivery to Vietnam. Despite being in the country for over a year, it has yet to find a buyer.
The exterior of this exclusive Bentley Continental GTC S V8 Vietnam Skyline Edition boasts a sleek Onyx Black finish. Highlighting its design are 21-inch, five-spoke wheels with a contrasting silver and black finish, complemented by red-painted brake calipers. Additionally, the Mulliner package adds unique details to the front bumper, sides, and rear bumper.
Inspired by Vietnam’s landscapes, the Bentley Continental GTC S V8 Vietnam Skyline Edition focuses on its interior. Mulliner artisans meticulously embroidered the skylines of Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City on the seatbacks.
Furthermore, iconic Vietnamese landmarks such as the Temple of Literature – National University, Hanoi Opera House, Dragon Bridge, and towering structures like Bitexco, Landmark 81, and Vietcombank Tower are elegantly depicted, showcasing Vietnam’s rich culture and modern development.
The “Skyline Collection” inscription on the glass before the passenger seat and the illuminated “Vietnam Collection” on the door sill unmistakably identify this as the one-of-a-kind Bentley Continental GTC S V8 Vietnam Skyline Edition.
The remainder of the interior remains consistent with the standard model, featuring diamond-patterned contrast stitching, a rotating three-dimensional display, and a Naim for Bentley sound system. The Ambient Light system allows owners to personalize the cabin ambiance with various colors.
Powering the Bentley Continental GTC S V8 is a V8 engine delivering 542 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 318 km/h. Unlike previous Bentley Continental GT S V8 models, this edition features a convenient one-touch roof operation, opening or closing in only 14 seconds.
