The Bentley Nicolaus Copernicus collection pairs a V8 4.0-liter biturbo plug-in hybrid powertrain producing 680 cv with bespoke astronomical design elements across a trio of unique vehicles built in partnership with Bentley Varsóvia.
Bentley Varsóvia Unveils the Nicolaus Copernicus Collection
Bentley Varsóvia has revealed a specialized series of three vehicles honoring the 16th-century Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. The collection draws inspiration from the polymath who first hypothesized that the Sun, rather than the Earth, sits at the center of the universe. The lineup consists of two Continental GT S Coupes and one Continental GTC S convertible, all utilizing the same 680 cv V8 4.0-liter biturbo plug-in hybrid system and 22-inch black wheels.
Each car in the three-vehicle collection represents a different celestial body. The first model, named “Sun,” is a Continental GTC S finished in Manuka Orange with black wheels. Inside, the cabin features Gravity Grey and Orange leather combined with Copper Stone dashboard trim. A graphic representation of the Earth and the Moon sits directly behind the rear headrests.
The second vehicle, designated “Earth,” is a Continental GT S Coupe finished in a custom-tailored shade of Nebula Blue. According to Bentley Varsóvia, this deep ocean tone emphasizes the coupe’s wide rear fenders and wheel arches. The third model, “Moon,” features a “Moonstruck” silver exterior paint infused with pink, purple, and blue hues. Its interior utilizes Beluga and Ice leather alongside planetary motifs.
Did you know? All three models in the Nicolaus Copernicus collection feature a specialized orbital pattern on the central console. Inspired by the Copernican Diagram, the graphic includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
