Dealer commissions Tiffany-themed Bentleys

With Valentines Day right around the corner, we can tell you that few things impress a member of the fairer sex quite as much as a turquoise-blue box labelled “Tiffany and Company.”  If you’re on a limited budget, however, the famed jeweller probably won’t have much in your price range, as Tiffany’s specializes in higher-end bangles.

If money is no concern and your significant other already has all the necklaces, bracelets and earrings she can wear, you can still surprise her with a Tiffany & Company-inspired Valentine’s Day present that she’ll never forget, courtesy of Beverly Hills, California, Bentley dealership O’Gara Coach Company.

As Italy’s 0-100 revealed, O’Gara has commissioned three 2013 Bentley Continental models sprayed in Celeste Blue Pearlescent paint, virtually identical to the colour of the Tiffany’s gift box. 

The special edition 2013 Bentley Continental GTC V8 pictured here includes a black roof with a light grey headliner; piano black veneer trim; a Linen Beluga leather interior; massaging, ventilated front seats; a rearview camera and a unique sill plaque identifying the car as a specially-commissioned edition.

Power comes from a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8, rated at 370 kilowatts and 660 newton meters. Shifting through an eight-speed automatic transmission, that’s enough thrust to propel the open-air Bentley from 0-100 kph in under 4.8 seconds. Cylinder deactivation boosts fuel economy to 10.2 liters per kilometer on the highway, not bad considering the car’s mass.

This particular edition is available for US$224,215, although a similar one here would likely sell for a premium over the US$407,000 price tag of the local price. As for the other Tiffany-themed Bentley models, O’Gara references one more Bentley Continental GTC convertible and a Bentley Continental GT coupe on its website.
