Bentley Continental GTC revealed in the UK, created by three musicians!

Luxury carmaker Bentley Motors has revealed a bespoke version of its Bentley Continental GTC, created in collaboration with three internationally recognised musicians and unveiled around International Women’s Day.

The one-off convertible was designed with input from British organist Anna Lapwood, Grammy-nominated cellist Tina Guo, and electronic music producer Sister Bliss. The trio worked with designers from Bentley Mulliner, the brand’s bespoke and coachbuilding division, to create a Continental GTC that blends musical inspiration with traditional craftsmanship.

Music-inspired design details

Prepared by Bentley’s artisans at the company’s headquarters in Crewe, the bespoke convertible features several design cues inspired by the artists’ musical careers.

Among the highlights are red and gold exterior accents and custom “soundwave” embroidery stitched into the seats, doors and tonneau cover. The same soundwave pattern also appears in the car’s animated puddle lamps.

Other bespoke touches include anodised gold and black speaker grilles and 24-carat gold organ-style control stops, referencing Lapwood’s career as an organist.

Inside the cabin, the collaboration is further reflected in a curated playlist etched into the centre console, creating a permanent link between the artists and the car.

Collaboration began at Bentley’s Crewe campus

The project originated in 2025 when the three musicians visited Bentley’s campus in Crewe and worked with Mulliner designers to develop a shared concept for the car.

The design process aimed to translate elements of music, such as rhythm and soundwaves, into visual and tactile details within the vehicle’s cabin.

Public debut planned at UK automotive event

Before joining Bentley’s internal fleet, the one-off Continental GTC will make its public debut at a female-focused Cars and Coffee event at Bicester Motion.

The event is being organised in collaboration with What She Drives, a platform dedicated to celebrating women in automotive culture.

Although the vehicle will debut in the UK, the project highlights Bentley’s broader effort to recognise female creativity and influence across industries, a theme aligned with the global celebration of International Women’s Day.
