The car pays homage to American sports reporter Craig Sager, known for his flamboyant sense of style. This is reflected in the car, as the model’s multi-colored exterior was inspired by the jacket Sager wore to the ESPY Awards in 2016. He died in December of that year.

“Our interpretation of the ‘clothing’ for the Continental GT Speed Convertible in something Craig will wear honors his positive spirit and consistent passion,” said Scott Reynolds of Bentley.
The reporter’s signature is embroidered on the headrest. The car will be joined by signatures from sports, entertainment and celebrity figures as it tours the United States before going up for auction early next year.
