(Crewe, 06 March 2025) – Bentley Motors is taking automotive personalisation to unprecedented heights with the expansion of exterior accent colour options for its fourth-generation Continental GT and Continental GT Convertible. Thanks to Mulliner, Bentley’s esteemed coachbuilding division, customers can now explore an even broader range of bespoke colour possibilities, making the 46 billion ‘standard’ configurations truly infinite. This exciting evolution offers owners the chance to create a Bentley as unique as their own vision, from striking body kits to intricate wheel finishes and meticulously crafted door mirrors.
The Art of Personalisation: Accent Colours Redefined
Mulliner’s expanded palette of exterior accent colours allows customers to highlight and elevate their vehicle with exquisite detailing. Whether it’s a pinstripe along the aerodynamic body kit, a contrasting accent on the mirror caps, or a unique wheel rim design, each choice is executed with the utmost precision by Bentley’s artisans. The new offerings include a selection of solid and metallic colours, satin and pearlescent finishes, and duo-tone options, ensuring that no two Bentleys are ever quite the same.
For example, a bespoke pinstripe accent can now trace the edges of the front spoiler, side sills, and rear diffuser on the Continental GT, available in both gloss and satin finishes. Additionally, contrast accent colours can be added to wheel rims and mirror caps, bringing a cohesive yet distinctive look to every detail of the car. These colour accents can be chosen to complement or contrast the main body finish, or even echo the interior colour palette for a seamless transition between the exterior and the cabin.
Performance Meets Style: The Mulliner Influence
The new contrast accent options not only enhance the visual appeal of the Continental GT and Convertible, but also underline the model’s performance credentials. Mulliner’s newly offered Beluga black roof finish for the Continental GT adds a bold, performance-focused look, invoking the spirit of the Pikes Peak limited edition, which famously conquered the record-breaking climb in 10 minutes and 18.4 seconds. This performance-driven option provides a sleek and dramatic silhouette that perfectly mirrors the Continental GT’s athletic stance.
Subtlety and Flair for the Flying Spur
As with the Continental GT, Mulliner’s enhancements extend to the Flying Spur, where a contrast accent pinstripe traces the lower edge of the body kit, further elevating its refined design. For those seeking an even more performance-driven look, a carbon fibre body kit can be added, either in a clear lacquer finish that showcases the weave of the carbon fibre or in a bespoke finish of the customer’s choosing. To finish off the look, matching accent pinstripes on the wheel rims and mirror caps provide a perfect balance of detail and drama.
Bright and Bold: Bentayga’s Personalised Edge
Bentley’s Bentayga SUV also receives the Mulliner touch, with new contrast accent options that allow for an even bolder expression of style. Pinstripes for the mirror caps and wheel rims provide subtle yet impactful detailing, while painted brake calipers in Klein Blue, Signal Yellow, and Ice Silver offer a vibrant alternative to the standard black finish. For those seeking the ultimate in bespoke craftsmanship, a carbon fibre body kit can be specified with a contrast accent pinstripe, adding a further layer of exclusivity to the Bentayga’s commanding presence.
Wheels: The Finishing Touch to Perfection
Wheels are often the first element to catch the eye, and Mulliner offers a dramatic array of finishes that allow customers to make a bold statement. A single colour, matched to the body finish, creates a unified and contemporary look, while metallic duo-tone wheels with contrasting spokes and pockets bring an opulent touch to the car’s design. For those seeking something more refined, pinstriping around the circumference of the wheel rim offers a more subtle but equally striking effect. Available in solid, metallic, duo-tone, satin, or pearlescent finishes, the wheel options can be further personalised with a bespoke colour choice, ensuring each creation is truly one-of-a-kind.
Bespoke Creations: Where Vision Becomes Reality
Mulliner’s bespoke creations are not limited to standard options; they offer a chance to realise a truly personalised vision. Fashion designer Supriya Lele’s collaboration with Mulliner resulted in the creation of a one-off Bentayga S, with the bespoke Nīla Blue colour inspired by her Indian heritage. This unique shade was applied to the wheel rims, while the Mulliner White accent colour on the body kit reflected the restrained elegance of the interior, a perfect harmony of colour and craftsmanship.
Similarly, Mulliner’s first bespoke fourth-generation Continental GT Convertible, co-curated with Bentley Naples, was auctioned at the Naples Winter Wine Festival, raising an impressive $1.7m for at-risk and underprivileged children. With its Damson exterior paint, complemented by Moonbeam accents and a sumptuous interior of White and Damson hides, this one-off creation captured the essence of Bentley’s commitment to bespoke design and luxury.
A Growing Trend
As customer demand for individuality continues to grow, Bentley’s Mulliner division has seen a significant rise in the number of bespoke commissions. Today, one in four Bentleys leaving the Crewe factory is equipped with Mulliner bespoke options, showcasing the increasing desire for unique, handcrafted details. As David Parker, Chief Commercial Officer at Mulliner, states: “Our team of designers, engineers, and artisans aim to ensure that each customer’s tastes and personality can be expressed, whether by exclusive paint and hide colours, materials, or bespoke features. The only limits are those of the imagination.”
Bentley’s latest range of exterior personalisation options, now available for the fourth-generation Continental GT, Continental GT Convertible, Flying Spur, and Bentayga, provides a platform for customers to truly make their mark. With Mulliner’s expertise and craftsmanship at the forefront, each vehicle becomes a bespoke masterpiece, a testament to the luxury and individuality that Bentley owners have come to expect.
