German tuning company Mansory has unleashed this monster limited edition Bentley Convertible – and Auto Trader has the first pictures.

The LEMANSory Bentley Continental GT Convertible has taken a stock GT and fitted it with huge air intakes at the front, massive side-skirts, a completely redesigned rear and 22-inch lightweight forged wheels.

Inside, the usual suspects of leather, Alcantara and carbon fibre greet the driver, with illuminated sill plates and a sports steering wheel adding to the occasion.

But don’t think this exclusive Bentley is all show and no go.

The German tuners have upped the 6-litre W12-engined GT’s power from 552bhp to a whopping 641bhp.

This means the luxurious two-tonne Bentley now sprints from 0-60mph in just 4.4 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 205mph.

Only 24 of these customised Bentleys will ever see the road, named after the famous Le Mans endurance race with the quantity representing the total race time – 24 hours.

But if the expected £150,000 price tag is a little too extravagant, Auto Trader has another Bentley for sale with celebrity history.

A Bentley Turbo R formerly owned by Jazz aficionado Jools Holland is up for grabs and costs just £14,950.

The 6.75-litre turbocharged engine chucks out 300bhp with a whopping 487 lbs/ft of pulling power.

Inside, the two-tonne heavyweight gets an integrated phone, MP3 Player/CD and amplifier.

Jools Holland shot to fame in the early 80’s hosting popular Newcastle-based TV show ‘The Tube’, before moving on to present ‘Later with Jools Holland’.

He has released a string of hits and has worked with a variety of musicians throughout his near 40-year career, including Oasis, Radiohead and R.E.M.

Jools Holland’s Bentley Turbo R – which has covered 115,000 miles – comes with a full service history and is yours for £14,950.
