Extraordinary Women compose their harmonious Bentley Continental GTC
(Crewe, 6 March 2026) Bentley has completed the craftsmanship of a bespoke Continental GTC designed by three extraordinary women from the world of music.
After a visit to Bentley's campus in Crewe last year, celebrated organist and conductor Anna Lapwood MBE, virtuoso cellist and composer Tina Guo and artist Sister Bliss (of the legendary British dance group Faithless) worked together with design consultants from Mulliner – Bentley's bespoke and coachbuilding division – to create a Bentley that combines their inspirations and ideas into one harmonious whole.
The Extraordinary Women
**Anna Lapwood MBE** has captivated millions on social media and in live audiences by redefining the role of the organ, blending classical music with modern genres. She was the first female in Magdalen College Oxford's 560-year history to be awarded the Organ Scholarship and was appointed the inaugural official organist of the Royal Albert Hall in 2025.
**Tina Guo**, a Chinese-born American Grammy-nominated virtuoso cellist, is known for her genre-defying approach. She has performed as the featured soloist in scores for major film productions including DUNE, Top Gun: Maverick, and co-composed the Main Theme for Wonder Woman with Hans Zimmer.
**Sister Bliss**, founding member of Faithless, has led a pioneering 30-year career, producing eight albums, six top-ten singles and selling over 20 million records. She is responsible for iconic records including Insomnia – voted the fifth best dance track of all time.
The Extraordinary Women Car
The unique Continental GTC features:
• Peacock Satin exterior with Tornado Red accent fine lines
• 22" ten-spoke wheels with Peacock Satin filled pockets
• Imperial Blue interior with Pillar Box Red and Gold accents
• Copper Stone veneer fascia – real stone just 0.6mm thick
• First-ever soundwave embroidery design on seats, doors and tonneau
• 24K gold Organ Stops – inspired by Anna Lapwood's connection to pipe organs
• Anodised gold and black Bang & Olufsen speaker grilles
• Laser-engraved Spotify code linking to a curated playlist by all three artists
The colour scheme contrasts Imperial Blue with Pillar Box Red accents and Gold accent hide. Contrast stitching using Imperial Blue, Pillar Box Red and Gold thread provides sharp accents to key areas.
The finishing touch is a polished stainless steel plaque fitted to the centre console of the car, bearing both the laser-engraved signatures of the three women and a unique Spotify code.
After its debut on Sunday, the Extraordinary Women Continental GTC will join Bentley's UK press fleet for several months, before being sold.
