Bentley Continental GT Monster by Mulliner, Monster

Bentley Continental GT Monster-01

Remember the stone veneers being offered by Mulliner, for the more ‘Atas?’ Well, the coachbuilding division, together with audio specialist, Monster, have just revealed another special – a one-off Bentley Continental GT Monster in V8 S form – at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. No prices quoted here, but we believe if you have a rich brother with many jobs, you’d be able to get one!

While inside is where the real magic happens, the Continental GT Monster’s exterior is still worth a mention. It gets an Onyx black paint scheme, detailed with fine red Hotspur accents. To add to that, the coupe features a ventilated hood, complemented with a bodykit, while two-tone alloy wheels are present on this one-off.

Onwards to the interior trim, the Continental GT is wrapped in Beluga and Hotspur leather upholstery with more red going on. Other interior specials include a 3D laser-engraved fascia panel, derived and inspired by the Monster logo, sill plates that have the words “Always Lead, Never Follow” engraved onto them and the words “Monster by Mulliner” embroidered onto the headrests.

Seeing that this custom Continental GT was developed together with an audio company, that’s where it stands out. In a special compartment, you’ll find a pair of 24k gold wireless headphones. In addition to that, it has a custom sound system that comprises of monstrous 3,400 watt, 16-speaker system, specially tuned by the company’s founder, Noel Lee himself.

No changes to the powertrain though. Beneath the bonnet lies an Audi-sourced 4.0 litre V8 engine that churns out 521 hp and 680 Nm of torque. Said mill is paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels via the all wheel drive system. The Continental GT Monster will still hit 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.

Having spent a number of years as a journalist for a local paper, a marketing executive for a popular German automotive brand and a copywriter, Graham, a true-blue Sarawakian, knew he had to take the leap back into the motoring scene - and so he did. To him, nothing’s better than cruising for hours along a scenic route, in a car that’s designed and built for that purpose.

    Wow, that’s gross. Is this really what sells headphones in the age of the millennial? I tend to think they’re marketing needs a reboot.

  • Monster is an audio company the same way as Proton is a car manufacturer. The Naim audio system in the prev. Continental was one of the best in the business.
