Bentley Continental GT Number 9 Edition by Mulliner
Inspired by Bentley’s motorsports history and created to celebrated Bentley’s centenary, the Bentley Continental GT Number 9 Edition by Mulliner made its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The Number 9 Edition is identified by a white 9 graphic on the grille and No. 9 badges — a reference to the car driven by Sir Henry Ralph Stanley “Tim” Birkin in the 1930 Le Mans 24 Hour race. Birkin commissioned a series of 4 1/2 Litre Bentleys with the addition of a supercharger (developed with an independent engineer) which increased output from 110 horsepower to 175. The dominating green “Blower Bentley” cars have become the symbol of Bentley pre-war racing.
