California's Monterey Peninsula is preparing for the Pebble Beach event, a week of displays and events at which Bentley Motors will give a North American debut of two new models - the Continental GT Speed and the EXP 9 F luxury SUV concept.

"Pebble Beach and the spectacular scenery of the Monterey Peninsula provide the perfect venue for automotive connoisseurs and enthusiasts from around the world to display and celebrate the very best of motoring," said Christophe Georges, president and COO of Bentley Motors, Inc. "It also serves as an ideal backdrop for Bentley to showcase not only its latest production model, the Continental GT Speed, but also, with the EXP 9 F SUV concept, to provide a glimpse into Bentley's future."

Bentley's fastest ever production model, the 616hp Continental GT Speed, will make its North American debut on the Pebble Beach concept lawn. The Continental GT Speed, Bentley's performance flagship, is set to enter the market in October, and until then, Pebble Beach spectators will have to imagine its 4.0-second 0-60mph sprint and its 205-mph top speed during the static display.

For those looking even further into Bentley's future, EXP 9F SUV concept makes its North American premiere on the concept lawn of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. EXP 9F highlights the marque's desire to build the fastest and most luxurious SUV in the world, and the concept car combines a bespoke interior with a dramatic exterior.
