Bentley Motors has brought together three world-renowned musicians—Anna Lapwood MBE, Tina Guo, and Sister Bliss—to design a bespoke Continental GTC celebrating female empowerment and collaboration.
This one-of-a-kind vehicle, crafted by Bentley’s Mulliner division, represents a fusion of music, artistry, and luxury craftsmanship, reinforcing Bentley’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB).
The project is part of Bentley’s Extraordinary Women initiative, which champions gender equality and highlights inspiring women across industries.

Lapwood, Guo, and Sister Bliss, each pioneers in their respective fields, worked closely with two leading female Bentley designers to create a car that reflects their personal artistic influences.
The final design, which remains under wraps, will be unveiled in Q4 2024 after being handcrafted at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe, England.
As part of the collaboration, Bentley also hosted an Extraordinary Talks session at its headquarters, where the musicians spoke to employees about creativity, leadership, and breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated industries.
The Artists Behind the Design
Anna Lapwood MBE – An organist, conductor, and social media sensation with over two million followers, Lapwood has redefined the role of the organ in contemporary music.
She is a champion of women in music, having been the first female Organ Scholar in Magdalen College Oxford’s 560-year history. Her upcoming album, Firedove, blends classical, film scores, and pop covers, further showcasing her genre-defying talent.
Tina Guo – A Grammy-nominated virtuoso cellist, Guo is one of the most recorded solo cellists of all time. She has performed on scores for DUNE, Inception, Top Gun: Maverick, and Call of Duty, and has toured with Hans Zimmer Live since 2016. Co-composer of Wonder Woman’s iconic theme, Guo’s music has become synonymous with female strength and empowerment.
Sister Bliss – A trailblazer in electronic music, Sister Bliss co-founded Faithless, producing some of the most iconic dance tracks of all time, including Insomnia.
As one of the first female DJs to achieve mainstream success, she paved the way for women in dance music. Following a break after the passing of Maxi Jazz, Faithless is set to return in 2024, with a new album, Champion Sound, releasing in 2025.
Bentley’s Continental GTC collaboration is a powerful statement of creativity, inclusion, and craftsmanship, demonstrating what’s possible when talent, vision, and luxury design converge.
