Bentley Unveils One-of-a-Kind Continental GTC Designed by Three Pioneering Women in Music

Three pioneering musicians collaborate with Bentley Mulliner to create a one-of-a-kind Continental GTC that celebrates creativity, sound and female excellence.

In a striking celebration of artistry and craftsmanship, Bentley has unveiled a one-of-a-kind Bentley Continental GTC designed in collaboration with three trailblazing women from the world of music. Created to mark International Women's Day, the bespoke convertible blends luxury automotive design with the personal creative signatures of celebrated organist Anna Lapwood, Grammy-nominated cellist Tina Guo, and pioneering DJ-producer Sister Bliss of Faithless.

Brought to life by the artisans at Bentley’s Crewe headquarters and crafted through Bentley Mulliner, the brand’s bespoke and coachbuilding division, the car represents a harmonious fusion of music, luxury and personal storytelling. The finished Continental GTC will make its public debut this weekend at a female-focused Cars & Coffee gathering held at Bicester Motion, hosted in collaboration with What She Drives.

A Symphony in Colour and Craft

The collaboration began with a visit to Bentley’s Crewe campus in 2025, where the three musicians worked alongside Mulliner designers to translate their creative influences into automotive design.

The exterior makes an immediate statement with Peacock Satin paint, paired with striking Tornado Red accents along the front bumper and rear diffuser. Matching red detailing continues on the wing mirrors and brake calipers, while the ten-spoke 22-inch wheels feature peacock satin pockets contrasted with bright-machined faces.

Inside, the cabin continues the visual symphony. A rich base of Imperial Blue leather is contrasted by Pillar Box Red accents and elegant gold detailing, creating a bold yet refined interior palette. Contrast stitching in blue, red and gold threads highlights key areas of the cabin, while headrest bezels finished in Imperial Blue satin replace the traditional chrome.

Personal Signatures from Three Artists

Each musician contributed a bespoke element that reflects their artistic identity.

For Tina Guo, the focal point is the Copper Stone veneer fascia. Crafted from genuine stone just 0.6 mm thick, the surface evokes ancient landscapes and natural textures, a nod to the tribal musical influences behind her latest creative project.

Sister Bliss introduced a distinctive soundwave embroidery design, marking the first time Bentley has incorporated such a motif into its interiors. Inspired by the waveform graphics used in music production, the pattern is subtly stitched across the seats and doors in Imperial Blue thread, while the convertible’s tonneau cover features the design in striking Pillar Box Red. The waveform motif even appears as an animated puddle lamp projection when the doors open.

Anna Lapwood’s bespoke contribution celebrates the instrument that defines her career. Bentley’s air vent controls, known as “Organ Stops” due to their similarity to those found on a pipe organ, have been finished in 24-carat gold, creating a tactile and symbolic link between the worlds of music and craftsmanship.

The Soundtrack to the Journey

The final detail is perhaps the most personal. A polished stainless-steel plaque on the centre console features the laser-engraved signatures of the three artists alongside a scannable code linking to a curated playlist on Spotify.

When scanned, the code unlocks a bespoke soundtrack selected by Lapwood, Guo and Sister Bliss, designed to be experienced through the car’s Bang & Olufsen audio system with its anodised gold and black speaker grilles.

It’s a subtle yet powerful reminder that this Bentley is not only about design, it’s about the sound and stories that inspired it.

Celebrating a New Era of Female Creativity

The collaboration also honours the extraordinary achievements of the women behind the project. Anna Lapwood MBE has captivated millions by redefining classical organ performance for modern audiences. Tina Guo has shaped the sound of blockbuster cinema, performing on scores for films such as Dune, Top Gun: Maverick and Inception. Meanwhile, Sister Bliss helped redefine electronic music as a founding member of Faithless, whose iconic track Insomnia remains one of the most influential dance records of all time.

Together, they represent a powerful cross-section of modern music, classical, cinematic and electronic — brought together through the shared language of creativity.

Following its debut, the Extraordinary Women Continental GTC will join Bentley’s UK press fleet for several months before eventually being offered for sale, leaving behind a legacy that goes far beyond luxury motoring.

It is, quite simply, a rolling composition, one where music, craftsmanship and design play perfectly in harmony.
