Bentley has introduced a trio of limited edition models that includes a Continental GT Azure V8, a Flying Spur Azure V8 and a Bentayga Azure V8, all handbuilt at Bentley's factory in Crewe, England and only available through Bentley Istanbul. The exclusive trio - the Bentley Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette Collection - celebrates the rich cultural heritage, world-famous landmarks and beautiful art of the historic Turkish city of Istanbul.
Working closely with the team at
Bentley Istanbul, the craftspeople from Bentley's Mulliner bespoke
division chose an accent colour concept for the Istanbul Silhouette
Collection that is inspired by both the rich blue and turquoise hues of
the Bosphorus Strait that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara,
and the open skies reflected in its waters.
On the exterior,
striking Black Sapphire paint provides the perfect canvas for sporty
highlights in 'Dragonfly' blue, such as the blue strip to the carbon
side skirts and the special Silhouette tread plates.
The colour
theme carries on throughout each car's interior, with special Istanbul
Silhouette embroidery of the city's Maiden's Tower, the Galata Tower and
the famous bridges over the Bosphorus displayed in Dragonfly Blue
across the headrests and cushions in the rear. These are covered with
hides of Imperial Blue and Beluga, inspired by the clear blue patterned
tiles of the famous Sultanahmet Mosque.
Further distinguishing
the Istanbul Silhouette Collection models, 'Piano Imperial Blue' wood
and natural jewel-like 'Galaxy' stone feature on the front panel and
infotainment area, while another personalised feature is the specially
designed key box that serves as a reminder of the exclusive nature of
the car and the equally remarkable location.
The city of Istanbul
enjoys a strategic position in the world, sitting at the point where
East meets West. It is a place where European cultures mix with those of
Asia, in a riot of colourful streetscapes and a unique blend of history
and art, juxtaposed with modernity and innovation. To appeal to its
discerning Turkish customers, the limited edition Mulliner models have
been designed to blend the city's cultural heritage with Bentley's
commitment to luxury and innovation.
Bentley Mulliner's Istanbul
Silhouette Collection will go on sale in early June and will be
available for viewing at the showroom. Bentley Istanbul is represented
by the brand’s long-standing partner, Doğuş Otomotiv, and is located at
Maslak in the Doğuş Center. There is also a pop-up store in Galaport.
