LONDON: Bentley has extended its range of exterior personalisation options for the fourth-generation Continental GT and Continental GT Convertible.
The automaker’s bespoke and coachbuilding division, Mulliner, now offers an expanded selection of accent colours for exterior features, enabling customers to customise details such as pinstripes, body kits, door mirrors, and wheels.
These accent options can be applied in single or dual colour schemes, including pinstripe details, and are available in solid, metallic, satin or pearlescent finishes.
All in, there are 46 billion "standard ways to configure a Continental GT. And if that isn't truly infinite, we don't know what is.
The new range allows customers to either complement or contrast the vehicle’s main exterior finish, or to echo an interior finish or hide colour.
For example, the new dark chrome interior finish for the Continental GT may be paired with a matching dark grey exterior accent.
The Mulliner Personal Commissioning Guide outlines these options, providing a framework for customers to realise their unique design vision.
Bentley’s approach to design emphasises both aesthetics and performance. For the Continental models, Mulliner now includes a contrast accent pinstripe option for the aerodynamic body kit, available in gloss or satin finish.
This pinstripe outlines the front spoiler, side sills and rear diffuser, and is also offered for mirror caps and wheel rims.
A Beluga black roof option, available when a panoramic roof is specified, further reinforces a performance-oriented appearance reminiscent of the record-breaking Pikes Peak limited edition.
For the Flying Spur, similar accent pinstripe detailing is available along the lower edge of the body kit, and a carbon fibre body kit is offered with the option of a protective clear lacquer finish or a customised finish, with an optional contrast accent pinstripe.
In the case of the Bentayga, contrast accent options extend to mirror caps and wheel rims. Additionally, painted brake callipers can be specified in Klein Blue, Signal Yellow or Ice Silver as an alternative to the standard black finish. The optional carbon fibre body kit on the Bentayga can also include a contrast accent pinstripe.
Wheels, seen as the finishing touch, can be specified in a range of finishes from solid to metallic, duo tone, satin or pearlescent.
Customers may choose to match these to the body colour for a unified look or opt for a contrasting scheme to enhance visual appeal.
Bespoke creations are also available; recent examples include a one-off Bentayga S featuring a uniquely commissioned Nila Blue accent inspired by Indian heritage, and a customised Continental GT Convertible auctioned for charity.
The move comes as one in four Bentleys leaving the Crewe factory now include Mulliner content, highlighting growing customer demand for individualisation.
