MUNICH: Bentley's new 4.0 litre V8 Continental GT coupe made a dramatic entrance into Germany with a flying debut above downtown Munich.
The bright red Bentley was seen by Munich residents taking a dramatic short-cut, suspended beneath a helicopter, to beat the traffic jams and arrive at a podium at the top of a high rise complex close to Munich’s city centre on Friday.
The fashionable SkyLounge – positioned in a glazed bridge between two skyscrapers – was the venue for an exclusive Bentley Continental V8 launch party for 300 VIP guests.
Klaus Becker, General Manager of Bentley Munich, who organised the show-stopping helicopter lift said: “A dramatic car got the debut we felt it deserved and we took a little bit of our inspiration from Bentley’s iconic ‘Winged B’ emblem. On a practical level the helicopter was the fastest way to get to the rooftop podium.”
