Bentley Launches Special Edition Models Inspired by Istanbul
TapTechNews June 24th news, Bentley Motors announced the launch of three special edition models to pay tribute to the historical landmarks and beautiful scenery in Istanbul, Turkey. These three models are exclusively offered by the Bentley Istanbul dealer and have unique customized designs, named the Bentley Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette Collection. This series includes three models: the Continental GT, the Flying Spur, and the Bentayga, all of which are in the Azure specification and equipped with V8 engines.
TapTechNews noticed that the exteriors of all three models feature Black Sapphire paint, which forms a sharp contrast to the rich chrome trim pieces of the Azure models. The Continental GT and Flying Spur models have added Dragonfly Blue accents on the carbon fiber spoiler and side skirt extensions, while from the official photos, it seems that the Bentayga SUV model doesn't have this design.
The interior design is more remarkable. The new cars are decorated with blue trim strips in detailed positions, and patterns such as the Maiden's Tower, Galata Tower, and the Bosporus Bridge are embroidered on the seats and back cushions. In addition, the imperial blue and beluga black color matching on the vehicle's interior leather refers to the tile pattern of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul.
Mulliner's interior also features piano imperial blue wood trim and Galaxy stone accents on the dashboard. The metal nameplate embedded on the side steps further highlights the customized characteristics of this series. Owners will also receive a special key case to highlight the uniqueness of their exclusive vehicle.
According to Bentley Motors, the blue and turquoise tones used in the exterior and interior are all inspired by the Bosporus Strait. The Bosporus Strait is an important waterway connecting the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, and it is also the dividing line between western Turkey and the Anatolian hinterland.
The chassis and power co nfigurations of these special edition models have not changed and retain the comfort-oriented tuning of the Azure models. The Bentley Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette Collection models will be unveiled this month, and the price has not been announced yet.
