It’s been barely eight years since Bentley<\/a> entered the Chinese market, and they haven’t looked back. Since arriving on the scene in 2002, Bentley’s sales have grown ten-fold, to the point that today China is the company’s third largest market. So it’s little wonder that the crew from Crewe is launching a pair of special editions specifically for the world’s largest populace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Both special editions are based on the Continental line-up. The first, as if the model’s name weren’t long enough already, is the Continental Flying Spur<\/a> Speed China. For the Chinese market, Bentley has actually toned down what it calls “the world’s fastest luxury four-door saloon” with a softer suspension and a quieter exhaust note.<\/p>\n

The second, called the Design Series China, starts with the Continental GT<\/a> coupe and centers its uniqueness around the interior, with three-tone leather trim and vibrant accents throughout. Bentley’s even added two new colors to the palette – Orange Flame and Magenta Metallic – with the launch of the Chinese special.<\/p>\n

The pair will be unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show<\/a>, which opens its doors on Friday. Details on both are available in the press release after the jump.<\/p>\n
