2009 Continental Speed Tour Asia

    by -

    Following the success of the 2006 Diamond Anniversary Tour that spanned thirteen cities, 650 test drives, and over 15,000km, Bentley Kuala Lumpur announces the 2009 Continental Speed Tour Asia.

    Two unique Bentley models are on tour in Asia with scheduled stops in Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia for a limited duration of up to three weeks, during which a series of dynamic and very exclusive events will take place.

    Since the introduction of the Continental series in 2003, Bentley has continued to enhance and build on the success of its younger, more exciting, and performance-oriented positioning with the introduction of high performance Speed variants.
    Inspired by Bentley’s heritage of high performance “Speed” models from the 1920s, the 600bhp Continental Speed performance variant delivers a harder-edged, sportier experience with tauter handling, improved agility and new levels of road holding, whilst continuing to offer unmistakable Bentley hallmarks of outstanding design, peerless craftsmanship, envious power, and exhilarating driving dynamics.

    Participation in the 2009 Continental Speed Tour Asia is by invitation only; Bentley guests will have the unique opportunity to experience first-hand, the Continental Flying Spur Speed – the fastest four-door Bentley, and Continental GTC Speed – the most powerful Bentley convertible ever. The Malaysian leg is scheduled to kick-off on 23 September 2009 with the cars crossing the Singapore border at approximately 4pm.
