The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/continental+gt\">Continental<\/a> is already a stunner in its &#8220;base&#8221; trim, but not everybody is content with an &#8220;ordinary&#8221; Bentley. <\/p>\n<p>The ultra-exclusive Continental adds a new Series 51 trim for 2010, named after Bentley&#8217;s first official styling department in the 1950s. Series 51 trim will be available for the entire Continental lineup and offer exclusive exterior design cues and a unique color palette. We&#8217;re talking three-tone leather with contrasting piping and stitching here, folks. Check the Series 51 box and you&#8217;ll also get 14-spoke, 20-inch wheels and a Series 51 badge on the front wings.<\/p>\n<p>The new trim, which will be available throughout the Continental lineup, starts at $192,750 for the GT coupe.
