The 2002 Bentley Continental GT, designed by Dirk Van Breukel, has achieved the esteemed title of the most beautiful car of the year in the world, as awarded by the prestigious The Most Beautiful Car In The World competition. This accolade marks the second triumph for Bentley, following the recognition of Arnage in 1999.
The award ceremony, scheduled for March 5, 2004, in Milan, holds significant symbolism. Milan, renowned for its prominence in global fashion and design, serves as an apt venue for celebrating automotive beauty. Notably, the jury of the competition primarily comprises Italians, reflecting their keen eye for aesthetics and design.
Unlike other automotive accolades, The Most Beautiful Car In The World competition prioritizes artistic merit over technical specifications. The jury, comprised of designers, stylists, journalists from fashion publications, and other creative professionals, evaluates cars as works of art rather than focusing on horsepower and gear ratios.
The Bentley Continental GT's triumph underscores its exceptional design, which seamlessly blends timeless elegance with contemporary flair. Its sleek lines, luxurious details, and refined craftsmanship make it a standout in the automotive world. As a testament to its enduring beauty, the Continental GT joins the ranks of iconic automotive masterpieces celebrated for their aesthetic excellence.
