In March 2025, three exceptional women in music came together at the home of Bentley Motors in Crewe, England, to design a bespoke Bentley Continental GTC. Anna Lapwood, conductor and organist, Tina Guo, cellist and composer, and Sister Bliss from the group Faithless joined Mulliner to create a bespoke Bentley that combines their ideas and inspirations in a harmonious, stunning creation with Bentley’s incredible luxury artisan craftsmanship.
Now that the build has been completed, it will join Bentley’s fleet soon, before which it will debut at a female-focused cars and coffee event to be held on International Women’s Day at Bicester Motion, held in collaboration with What She Drives. Lapwood’s incredible talent in combining classical and modern music in her performance has been part of collaborations with artists like Raye, Bonobo and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Guo has been nominated for a Grammy award, performing solo for the scores of films like Sherlock Holmes, Dunkirk, and Inception, and has recently performed for other projects like DUNE, DUNE 2, Gran Turismo, Top Gun: Maverick, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and even co-composed the main theme of Wonder Woman with Hans Zimmer.
Sister Bliss has performed with Faithless since its founding, with a 30-year career comprised of eight albums, six top-ten singles, over 20 million records sold, and over a billion streams globally. A trailblazer for female DJs, Sister Bliss is a mainstay at festivals and one of the most celebrated dance artists in the music world.

The car, a bespoke Bentley Continental GTC, features various bespoke touches from Mulliner, representing the artistic vision and perspectives of each of the three musicians who contributed to its design. The exterior is finished in a satin-finish Peacock paintwork, with accents in Tornado Red. Inside, Imperial Blue is paired with accents in Gold and Pillar Box Red, with contrast stitching and veneer in Copper Stone adding to the ultra-luxury design. The real stone veneer reminded Tina Guo of her recent work in tribal music. Sister Bliss contributed a soundwave design to the car, a Bentley first, which is applied to the seats and doors, the tonneau cover for the convertible top, the treadplates, and in an animated welcome lamp.
Anna Lapwood’s unique contribution came in the form of Bentley’s signature air vent “organ stop” controls, which, as an organist, she particularly resonated with. In the new bespoke Continental GTC, the organ stops are finished in 24-karat gold. The finishing touch is a plaque on the center console, which features a Spotify code that can be scanned to get to a playlist curated by Lapwood, Guo, and Sister Bliss.
With Bang & Olufsen audio, the bespoke Continental GTC is the perfect place to enjoy the music. After its International Women’s Day debut and its time with the Bentley press fleet, the new bespoke car will be sold as a collector-worthy showcase of bespoke luxury and the excellence of three incredible women in the music industry.
