New Bentley Continental V8 Helicoptered into Munich

Oh publicity stunts, they are so stupidly fun. Bentley helicoptered a new Bentley Continental GT 4.0 V8 through Munich's rush hour traffic to the Skylounge located between two high-rise buildings in the city's center. The car was suspended under the helicopter and delivered to a specially made podium for a party with 300 invited guests. 

“A dramatic car got the debut we felt it deserved and we took a little bit of our inspiration from Bentley’s iconic ‘Winged B’ emblem. On a practical level the helicopter was the fastest way to get to the rooftop podium,” said Klaus Becker  who is general manager of Bentley Munich and organized the event. 

You can see a video of the car being delivered below.
