Bentley Mulliner Launches Exclusive Istanbul Silhouette Collection Celebrating Turkish Culture
(Munich, 20 June 2024) Bentley Motors has introduced a trio of limited edition models: the Continental GT Azure V8, the Flying Spur Azure V8, and the Bentayga Azure V8. These vehicles are handbuilt at Bentley's factory in Crewe, England, and are exclusively available through Bentley Istanbul.
The exclusive collection celebrates Istanbul's rich cultural heritage, world-famous landmarks, and beautiful art. The craftspeople from Bentley's Mulliner bespoke division collaborated with Bentley Istanbul to create an accent colour concept inspired by the Bosphorus Strait's blue and turquoise hues and the open skies reflected in its waters.
The exterior features striking Black Sapphire paint with sporty highlights in 'Dragonfly' blue. This includes a blue strip on the carbon side skirts and special Silhouette tread plates. The interior continues this theme with Istanbul Silhouette embroidery of the city's Maiden's Tower, Galata Tower, and famous bridges over the Bosphorus displayed in Dragonfly Blue across the headrests and rear cushions.
The interiors are covered with hides of Imperial Blue and Beluga, inspired by the clear blue patterned tiles of the Sultanahmet Mosque. 'Piano Imperial Blue' wood and natural jewel-like 'Galaxy' stone feature on the front panel and infotainment area. A specially designed key box serves as a reminder of the car's exclusive nature and its remarkable location.
Istanbul enjoys a strategic position where East meets West, blending European cultures with those of Asia. The limited edition Mulliner models aim to blend this cultural heritage with Bentley's commitment to luxury and innovation.
Market Expectations
Kerem Güven, General Manager of Bentley Istanbul, commented: "We have seen the Bentley brand grow over the last 17 years in Istanbul. The market for bespoke craftsmanship has increased here, so we anticipate strong interest from our discerning customers for this exclusive collection."
Balazs Rooz, Director at Bentley Motors Europe, added: "Mulliner represents the pinnacle of the Bentley experience, with bespoke details that reflect a place or celebrate an occasion. Each limited edition car features beautiful interior decor, stitching details, and visuals of Istanbul while using sustainable materials."
