(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 result of their collaboration has now been completed by Bentley's artisans, and will soon join Bentley's fleet. Before then, it will make its public debut at a bespoke female-focused cars and coffee event, set up by Bentley and to be held on Sunday - International Women's Day - at Bicester Motion, in conjunction with What She Drives.

Anna Lapwood, awarded an MBE at just 28, has captivated millions on social media and in live audiences by redefining the role of the organ, blending classical music with modern genres and pushing the boundaries of performance. Lapwood has built a following of more than four million across her social media channels, regularly performs concertos with leading symphony orchestras and conductors and collaborated with artists including Raye, Bonobo and Benedict Cumberbatch. Anna's passion for the organ is matched by her mission to support girls and women in music. She was the first female in Magdalen College Oxford's 560-year history to be awarded the Organ Scholarship and since then has run regular organ workshops for young players around the country. Having spent some years being encouraged to "play like a man", Anna is proud and humbled to see so many adopt her hashtag, #playlikeagirl. In March 2025, she released 'Firedove', with the Chapel Choir of Pembroke College, Cambridge, and recorded on the organ of Nidaros Cathedral. In Two months later, she was appointed the inaugural official organist of the Royal Albert Hall.

Tina Guo, a Chinese-born American Grammy-nominated virtuoso cellist, is known for her genre-defying approach and collaborations with some of the world's most celebrated artists. Guo has performed as the featured soloist in scores for major film productions (including Sherlock Holmes, Dunkirk, Inception and many others), TV shows and video games. One of the most recorded solo cellists of all time, Guo recent film projects include DUNE, DUNE 2, Gran Turismo and Top Gun: Maverick, while also delivering music for new video games Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Tina also co-composed the Main Theme for Wonder Woman with Hans Zimmer - music that has since become an anthem for female empowerment, and a defining example of her own power and ability.

Alongside her work for film scores, Tina is a classical soloist performing with orchestras across the globe. Tina's newest endeavor is The Water Phoenix, a prehistoric music project combining her love for Nordic Tribal music and Chinese prose. It channels her ancestral roots from China, Mongolia, Indigenous America, and Pakistan. Guo performs on a Gand & Bernadel cello made in Paris, France in 1878, a customized Yamaha SVC-210 electric cello, and an erhu made in Shanghai, China.

Sister Bliss, one of the founding members of legendary dance act Faithless, has led a pioneering 30-year career, producing eight albums, six top-ten singles and selling over 20 million records and over a billion streams worldwide, breaking new ground for female DJs. Founding Faithless as the core musician together with producer Rollo and vocalist Maxi Jazz in 1995, Sister Bliss is responsible for the music behind all of Faithless' most iconic records, including Insomnia - voted the fifth best dance track of all time. Faithless have headlined major festivals across Europe, including four appearances at Glastonbury.

As one of the first female DJs to find incredible mainstream success, Sister Bliss paved the way for a generation of female talent to rise up through the traditionally male-dominated dance music industry. Following a break after the tragic loss of Maxi Jazz in 2022, Sister Bliss announced that Faithless would return to the stage in 2024 after an eight year absence. 2025 saw continued touring with summer dates across the UK and Europe and the release of Faithless' latest studio album, Champion Sound.

The unique Continental GTC, tailored through Bentley's Mulliner division, represents the artistic and personal influences of each musician, blending bespoke design elements that reflect their personal journeys and shared vision. Bentley's Mulliner design team played a pivotal role in bringing the vision to life, with two leading female design consultants at the forefront of the project. These industry leading experts ensured every detail of the Continental GTC reflected the essence of the musicians' artistry.

All three women drew on their careers and experience in creating this unique Bentley. They started with the exterior, opting for a satin paint with the striking Peacock Satin. An exterior accent fine line in Tornado Red was applied to the gloss black front bumper lower edge and rear diffuser, with a matching accent in Tornado Red Satin to the wing mirrors and red brake calipers. The Peacock Satin paint was carried from the body to the wheels, filling the pockets of the ten-spoke 22" wheels, which feature bright-machined faces. The roof is Dark Grey Metallic.

For the interior, Anna, Tina and Sister Bliss collaborated on the palette of colours to use, before each selecting a final detail that resonated with their work. The colour scheme started with Imperial Blue, to align with the Peacock Satin exterior, then contrasted vividly with the use of Pillar Box Red accents and a Gold accent hide. Contrast stitching using Imperial Blue, Pillar Box Red and Gold thread provides sharp accents to key areas, while the headrest bezels - usually chrome - are painted Imperial Blue Satin to match the surrounding leather.

Pillar Box Red is also applied to the inner dials of the Bentley Rotating Display, while the speaker grilles are anodised in Gold and Beluga. Mulliner overmats are Imperial Blue with a Gold micropipe.

Tina Guo selected the fascia design, using Copper Stone veneer. Made of real stone, just 0.6 mm thick, the veneers reminded Guo of her recent work around tribal music, capturing an aesthetic hundreds of thousands of years in the making. The red and gold tones of the Copper Stone matched the interior colour palette perfectly.

To this, Sister Bliss added a soundwave embroidery design - a first for a Bentley. The soundwave pattern is reminiscent of the waveforms Sister Bliss uses across Faithless' music and is stitched to the seats and doors in 'blind' Imperial Blue thread, and to the tonneau cover of the convertible rood in contrast Pillar Box Red thread. The soundwave pattern is also featured on the treadplates, and an animated version is projected to the floor when either door is opened.

Anna Lapwood's bespoke element came from an instant connection to a Bentley detail. The controls for the air vents in every Bentley's cabin are called 'Organ Stops', because their motion, action and purpose are the same as the stops on a pipe organ - a tactile, linear control that affects the flow of air. For this car, Lapwood specified the Organ Stops to be finished in 24K gold, again complementing the palette of the interior and making the Organ Stops stand out from the cabin.

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. When the code is scanned by the Spotify app, the user is taken to a bespoke playlist curated by Lapwood, Guo and Sister Bliss, which can be instantly played through the car's Bang & Olufsen sound system, which features anodised gold and black speaker grilles.

After its debut on Saturday, the Extraordinary Women Continental GTC will join Bentley's UK press fleet for several months, before being sold.
