Bentley chose the suitable Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance as the perfect location to debut two new special edition drop-tops: the continental GTC 80-11 and the GTC Speed 80-11.

Both cars get Union Jack badges on the front fenders and a special color named “Midnight,” matched up with a “Dark Grey Matallic” soft top. Interior trim includes Beluga leather with a bright aluminum finish for the GTC and a dark finish for the SPEED models. Both models also get unique 20-inch wheels.

As for power, well, both Bentley’s get the twin-turbo W12 with 552-hp and 479 ft-lbs of torque for the GTC 80-11 and 600-hp and 553 ft-lbs of torque for the GTC Speed 80-11.

Pricing is set at $220,545 for the GTC and $247,545 for the GTC Speed, which includes a $3,000 gas guzzler tax and $2,595 destination charge. Just 80 examples of each model will be made in 2011.
