Bentley's bespoke and personalization division, Mulliner, has delivered a unique duo-tone Bentayga EWB Azure V8, marking the first of its kind. This bespoke creation reflects the growing trend among Bentley customers for personal commissions and individualization.
Crafted by hand, the vehicle showcases the result of a Mulliner commission that provides customers with considerable freedom and creativity in designing their Bentley. The car features a bespoke two-tone exterior finish, prompting Bentley Motors to expedite the introduction of two-tone finishes for Bentayga EWB by 12 months.
Customers are encouraged to actively participate in the design process, termed 'co-curation' by Mulliner, allowing them to contribute to the creation of truly unique vehicles. Beyond the myriad specifications available from the Bentley options list, vibrant color schemes, bespoke materials, and customized features are welcomed as challenges by Mulliner's team of designers and skilled artisans.
The particular example highlighted is a Bentayga EWB commissioned by a couple in Irvine, California. Initially planning to order a Bentayga EWB Azure V8 First Edition with standard options, the couple, with the assistance of Mulliner's Design Manager Phill Dean, opted for a duo-tone exterior of Onyx over Kingfisher Blue. This unique finish prompted Bentley to advance the launch of this option for Bentayga EWB.
The exterior features the Kingfisher Blue finish on the lower body, making a striking contrast with the gloss black elements specified in the Blackline package. The duo-tone effect, with a dark roof and cabin, creates a visually dynamic and sporty impression. The interior choices include a four-seat configuration with Bentley's airline seat specification for the two rear seats, Naim for Bentley audio system, and mood lighting.
This bespoke Bentayga EWB also includes personalized elements such as a Mulliner key box in Imperial Blue hide and Mandarin, engraved door treadplates with a "One of One" message, and Bentley seat emblems embroidered in Kingfisher. The vehicle exemplifies the trend for Mulliner bespoke commissions, with around 75 percent of vehicles leaving Bentley's Dream Factory in 2023 featuring Mulliner content, indicating a growing demand for luxury personalization across the Bentley lineup.
