Toyo Tires Reveals 4th Display Vehicle for 2011 SEMA Show

CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA – It’s official, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. has announced the fourth and final vehicle to be displayed in their booth at the 2011 SEMA Show – a one-of-a-kind 2012 Bentley Continental GT with a new factory Mulliner Styling kit. It is one of only two cars in the world painted in Satin White by Bentley… this being the only one in the U.S. The luxurious super coupe is equipped with 22-inch Toyo Proxes T1R UHP summer tires wrapped around gunmetal Forgestar F14 wheels, 265/30ZR22 in the front and 295/25ZR22 in the rear.

Styled by Raul Pires, Bentley’s head of exterior design, the dealer-installed Mulliner Styling kit provides a more aggressive appearance. The exterior shape of the car is changed using a unique front bumper splitter, strakes integrated into the front intake grills, side extension blades and a rear diffuser. All of these components are made using high-gloss, black carbon fiber which was subjected to rigorous aerodynamic, durability and quality testing by Bentley engineers. Wheels and suspension modifications were done by Mega Motorsports. The Bentley is owned by Beverly Hills Bentley and will be available to purchase after the show.

“We are excited to debut the satin white, 2012 Bentley Continental GT with Mulliner Styling in our SEMA Show booth,” said Stan Chen, manager of events and motorsports, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. “The addition of this super coupe demonstrates the quality, performance capabilities, and diverse range of fitments manufactured into our line of Toyo tires.”

In addition to the new Bentley Continental GT, the Toyo Tires booth will debut three other vehicles. The WALD F10 Black Bison, a tuned 2011 BMW 5 Series by Wald International of Japan will be equipped with 20-inch Toyo Proxes T1 Sport UHP summer tires.
