First seen on the Continental GT and GTC, Bentley now offers the Series 51 design options – 14 in total – on the Continental Flying Spur and Speed. These range from duo-tone exterior paint options to new interior color and trim combinations. Also, all Continental Flying Spur and Supersports models are specified as standard with a "state-of-the-art" 30GB touchscreen infotainment system.

Duo-tone means that, beside the main color applied to the body, there's also an accent color that runs from the bonnet to the boot lid..

Bentley says that the paint range "encompasses cool and crisp hues through to rich and fiery shades and everything in between", based on which additional three interior colors are selected to create a visual equilibrium between the exterior and the cabin.

Every Series 51 model also gets unique nine-spoke 19-inch alloys, finished in a cool graphite tone, complemented by Series 51 wing badges, positioned behind the front wheel arches. If that's still not enough, customers can specify their cars with blue brake calipers and black or chrome wing vents as well.

For the interior, Bentley's styling team operates on a "rule of three" principle; meaning that color and trim specialists begin with a main color, typically a darker shade, and then select a second, insert color. This is to provide an eye-catching contrast. Third is the accent color, which goes on the stitching and piping.

Series 51 interiors are made even more exclusive by specially chosen wood veneers and aluminum panels.

If a client doesn't find a suitable choice among the 14 available options of the Series 51, Bentley will be more than happy to create a new, bespoke one, as Melinda June-Jenkins explains:

"One of the most exciting aspects of the Series 51 designs is the feedback from Bentley customers and their desire to explore further what we can offer. Series 51 provides just a starting point and now we are creating designs which make an even stronger and more personal statement".

Last but not least, all Bentley Continental Flying Spur and Supersports coupe and convertible models are equipped with a new touchscreen infotainment system, with 30GB of capacity.

Audio system, telephone, ride and comfort settings are displayed on an 8-inch display, alongside navigation information. The GPS uses "dynamic navigation" to avoid heavy traffic spots and can locate destinations by using geo-tagged photos from an SD card.

Besides the six-disc CD changer, music can be played directly from an iPod, SD card and the hard drive, which can store up to 15GB of music.

Customers also benefit from telephone connectivity, digital television (where available) and DVD movie playback.

The Middle East isn't the only region to get a pair of special edition Bentleys as the British automaker unveiled the Continental GTC and GTC Speed 80-11 models designed exclusively for North America on the Concept Lawn at this past weekend's 60th Annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. For those wondering about the designation, the 80 stands for the number of units that will be built and the "11" indicates the cars' model year (2011).

And yes, as you probably already suspect, the changes over the standard Continental GTC and GTC Speed convertibles are purely cosmetic. Both cars are offered in a variety of colors including a new and unique finish called "Midnight", combined with a Dark Grey Metallic soft top and the Mulliner fuel-filler cap plus Union Jack brightware badges on the front fenders as standard.

The GTC, which boasts a twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 engine producing 552HP and 479 lb-ft of torque for a top speed of 195mph (190mph with the top down) and a 0-60mph sprint time of 4.8 seconds, also gets new 20-inch 4-spoke alloy diamond wheels, polished with unique black center caps.

The sportier GTC Speed model, which uses an uprated twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 with 600HP and 553 lb-ft of torque for a top speed of 200mph (195mph with top down) and a 0-60mph time of 4.5 seconds, is offered with dark tinted 20-inch alloy wheels displaying red brake calipers underneath.

Inside, the firm's designers dressed the interior in Beluga leather with contrast stitching, piping and Bentley emblems in white on the GTC and Pillar Box Red on the GTC Speed. In addition, both cars get Piano Black trim and engine-turned aluminum dash with a bright finish in the GTC and a dark finish for the GTC Speed.

The "race-inspired" drilled alloy sport foot pedals along with the special treadplates and a badge on the console which are both branded with the "80-11 Edition" signature, complete the look.
