Bentley’s first collection of race-inspired clothing and accessories has gone on sale across the world.
Revealed at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, which is currently under way in Geneva, Switzerland, the new Motorsport Collection draws its inspiration form the Continental GT3’s new livery, with pieces echoing the vibrant green colour scheme and Union Flag inspired design cues introduced on the racer for the 2016 season.
Created to embody the thrill and energy of the sport, each piece blends contemporary design with the finest materials and craftsmanship.
An authentic range of race clothing forms the basis of the collection.
Designed for and worn by the Bentley racing team, technical polo shirts and t-shirts are complemented by soft shell jackets and practical gilets. All race-wear features a streamlined design consisting of dark panels to the side, accented by vivid green decorative tape for a sporting look, and is available for both ladies and gentlemen. More lifestyle led items include a Bentley motorsport hoodie, a first for Bentley, which comes in a stylish and subtle colour palette of white and grey.
A collection of racing accessories complements the race wear. A race duffle bag, originally designed to fit a race helmet, makes a perfect accessory for the racing enthusiast. Other trackside essentials such as a baseball cap and ear plugs feature Bentley style cues, and a GT3 lanyard to keep hold of those all-important VIP passes complete the circuit-side look.
Away from the race track, a GT3 Espresso features dynamic imagery which embodies the excitement of the sport, while a new beach towel ensures motorsport enthusiasts can be inspired by their passion even while on the beach.
Younger fans are not forgotten, selected items of the clothing have been miniaturised for children aged 3-8, with the technical polo shirt and baseball cap both available in children’s sizes. For even younger motorsport enthusiasts, a motorsport baby grow with a racing overall inspired design is available for babies aged 0-6months.
Bentley Collection items are available globally from Bentley retailers, or alternatively online at www.bentleycollection.com.
