Bentley Continental Mulliner Riviera Collection Revealed - A Nautical Celebration

The Bentley Continental Mulliner Riviera Collection is offered in a choice of three unique exterior palettes for Monegasque customers - Aegean Blue, Aquamarine and Caribbean Blue - created to mirror the colours of the Mediterranean Sea. The paint schemes extend to the carbon fibre body kit and the boot lid spoiler.

There are quite a few unique sailing-inspired features inside the cabin of the Continental GT Convertible Mulliner Riviera Collection cars including marine knot logos on the headrests, Linen hide and Alcantara trim, and personalized Riviera Collection treadplate plaques.

Seen almost everywhere across the cabin are navy and gold leather while the centre console features a yacht-like teak decking design. Also featured on these special Riviera Collection cars are hide Riviera key cases, and embroidered Riviera trim emblems.

Like every other Bentley car worked on by Mulliner, the world's oldest coach builder, each Riviera collection car can be customised to the owner's specification which should make each of these cars unique.

Speaking about the new Mulliner Riviera Collection, Balazs Rooz, Regional Director Bentley Europe, commented, "The Mulliner Riviera Collection shows how Bentley has responded to the high customer demand for personalisation and bespoke exclusivity. Bentley Monaco's understanding of the yachting world, a key focus of the principality, together with the know-how of our Mulliner designers, have created truly exceptional and unique cars. This will complement the breath-taking Mediterranean coastline and surroundings where this one-off Continental GT Convertible will likely be driven and enjoyed."

Bentley has not revealed any details about which of its two turbocharged engines - the 4.0-litre V8 and the 6.0-litre W12 - will be offered with the new Mulliner Riviera Collection. However, we expect Bentley to offer both powerplants to its customers opting for the Mulliner Riviera Collection versions of the Continental GT Convertible.

The V8 version of the Continental GT C produces 542bhp at 6,000rpm and 770Nm of peak torque between 2,000 and 4,500rpm. The W12 engine which is offered in the Speed models offers 650bhp between 5,000 and 6,000rpm and 900Nm of peak torque between 1,500 and 5,000rpm. Both engines are offered with an 8-speed dual clutch gearbox and all-wheel drive.
