Look-wise, the celebratory unit comes with a special shade of Orange Flame color. Further, for the finishing, Bentley has used an optional Blackline specification for that enhanced road presence.

Further, inside the cabin, the celebratory edition remains the same. It comes with a 4-seater layout, power windows, automatic climate control and leather upholstery among others. Meanwhile, for enhanced safety, Bentley Continental GT comes with multiple airbags, crash sensors, a rearview camera, engine immobilizer and ABS as well.

Under the hood, Bentley Continental GT comes with a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine. The engine is tuned in such a manner that it produces a massive 634.6HP alongside a peak torque of 900Nm. Further, it comes mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. However, that is not the case with the 80,000th unit. Earlier, Bentley introduced a new entry-level V8 variant of the Continental GT and that same engine is now powering the 80,000th unit.

In India, the luxury sedan comes with a price tag of Rs.3.29 Crore onwards. However, to celebrate this massive achievement, Bentley has recently released a photograph that consists of the entire fleet since 2003.
