German tuner MTM announced its Birkin Edition customization program for the Bentley Continental GT models. Engine upgrades on the MTM Bentley Continental GT Birkin Edition offer a 90 hp increase to the standard turbocharged W12 engine and bring its total power to an impressive 650 Hp and 795 Km of torque. To accommodate this kind of power the MTM Bentley Continental GT Birkin Edition was fitted with a new adjustable suspension system and better brakes and performance figures now indicate a 3 seconds improved 0 to 200 km/h sprint time over the basic version.

As far as exterior mods the MTM Bentley Continental GT Birkin Edition features a new front grill, 21 inch Bimoto rims as well as a set of twin stainless steel exhaust pipes. The whole upgrade kit on the MTM Bentley Continental GT

Birkin Edition comes with an 20,000 Euros price tag and the company says it can also be applied on model like the GTC, Flying Spur, GT Speed, GTC Speed and Continental Supersports.

MTM press release :

MTM's Birkin Edition upgrades performance of Bentley standard model

– 650 Hp and 795 Nm with the Birkin Edition kit for the Continental GT, GTC, Flying Spur, GT
Speed, GTC Speed and Continental Supersports

– Unbeatable: the 331 km/h world record with MTM's Bentley Contintenal GT still stands after
three years.

– Exclusive 21-inch "bimoto" alloy rims.

Even though Bentley offers greater power and performance in the new Speed version standard models, the special series offer 650 Hp performance in addition to an exclusive sporty look. After nearly three years, the 331 km/h world record still stands – achieved by a sportscar with the MTM Bentley Continental GT. With MTM's Birkin Edition kit, the Continental GT, GTC and Flying Spur series can be upgraded with an exclusive and sporty look, fully in line with the legendary Bentley Boys, who exerted such an influence on the racing scene around 75 years ago.

The modified performance data with which MTM has revived the Bentley cannot be documented in purely technical terms, but performance is also proved on the track in the true sense of the word "experience". The MTM Bentley took three seconds off the standard counterpart on the short Hockenheim circuit, and also three seconds in the 0 to 200 km/h sprint, which the MTM Bolide achieved in 15.9 seconds. No wonder: With his great love for detail and technical efficiency, the developer Roland Mayer pushed the crucial 90 more Hp out of the 12-cylinder standard engine at Wettstetten near Ingolstadt. 650 Hp is the result, and the in-house performance tests recorded 795 Nm, supported by a perfectly coordinated exhaust system with muffler and throttle control which, in addition to the increased performance, delivers a beguiling sound.

As far as the optics and external appearance are concerned, MTM has made no obvious changes to the bodywork. The four-pipe exhaust system with MTM's F-Cantronic gives the tail its visual effect: approximately 30 mm lower than in the standard series. The small intelligent electronic control unit lowers the 2.4-tonner by 35 mm at the rear axle and by around 25 mm at the front axle. Combined with 21-inch alloy rims, the timeless Bimoto design lends an exclusive, sportier look to the Bentley, which not only offers more dynamics to buyers of new vehicles, but will also appeal to those who already drive a Bentley.
EUR 20,000 incl. VAT. MTM throws in the VAT, TÜV certification and assembly in the Birkin edition kit. Those who are still not satisfied can fall back on the MTM Individual program which, as the name implies, customises according to the buyer's wishes.
