Bentley Motors has introduced an exclusive collection of limited edition cars, celebrating the rich heritage of Istanbul. Crafted by Bentley’s Mulliner bespoke division, the collection features three distinctive models: the Continental GT Azure V8, Flying Spur Azure V8, and Bentayga Azure V8. Each vehicle, handbuilt at Bentley’s factory in Crewe, England, is available exclusively through Bentley Istanbul.
The Istanbul Silhouette Collection highlights the city’s cultural heritage and iconic landmarks, including the Sultanahmet Mosque, Maiden’s Tower, Galata Tower, and Bosphorus Bridges. Bentley’s Mulliner team collaborated with Bentley Istanbul to develop a color scheme inspired by the vibrant blues and turquoises of the Bosphorus Strait and the skies reflected in its waters. The cars’ exteriors are finished in Black Sapphire paint, complemented by sporty ‘Dragonfly’ blue accents on the carbon side skirts and special Silhouette tread plates.
Inside, the luxurious interiors feature Imperial Blue and Beluga hides, echoing the patterned tiles of the Sultanahmet Mosque. The headrests and cushions are adorned with Dragonfly Blue embroidery depicting Istanbul’s landmarks. Unique to this collection, ‘Piano Imperial Blue’ wood and ‘Galaxy’ stone are used on the front panel and infotainment area, enhancing the exclusivity and bespoke craftsmanship.
Kerem Güven, General Manager of Bentley Istanbul, expressed enthusiasm for the collection: “We have seen the Bentley brand grow and prosper over the last 17 years in Istanbul. The market for bespoke craftsmanship has increased here, so we anticipate strong interest from our discerning customers for this exclusive collection, which celebrates our city’s unique blend of history, art, and modernity.”
Balazs Rooz, Director at Bentley Motors Europe, added: “Mulliner represents the pinnacle of the Bentley experience, with bespoke details that reflect a place, time, or occasion. Each limited edition car features beautiful interior decor, stitching details, and visuals of Istanbul, while also using sustainable materials and designs from the city itself, all carefully created in the Mulliner workshop in Crewe.”
The Bentley Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette Collection will go on sale in early June and can be viewed at the Bentley Istanbul showroom, represented by the brand’s long-standing partner, Doğuş Otomotiv. A pop-up store in Galaport will also showcase these remarkable vehicles, offering a closer look at their bespoke details and luxurious features.
