Bentley’s new Flying Spur Design Series by Mulliner will be limited to just 100 cars.
Comprising a selection of five interior and exterior accent colour splits – Mandarin, Pillar Box Red, White, Kingfisher and Azure Purple – this limited edition delivers a unique and exclusive design take on Bentley’s luxury sedan, curated by Bentley’s personal commissioning division.
The Design Series is available across the four-car Flying Spur range – V8, W12, V8 S and W12S.
The new series has been created by Mulliner for the driver who seeks a more extreme, bespoke interpretation of the performance-oriented sedan.
The new car is characterised externally by bright-coloured fine lines contrasted with blackened brightware (W12 S only), to enhance its dynamic, performance-oriented nature of the car.
Inside, the hallmarks of Mulliner – Bentley’s personal commissioning division – include fine leather detailing picked out in bold colours, new materials and technical precision.
The Flying Spur Design Series takes its inspiration from the finest details: the flash of colour on a suit lining, or the vibrant stitching on a leather saddle.
The exterior of the car is marked out by a bold, front-bumper design (V8 S and W12 S models only), a lower fine line and LED Welcome Lamps. The front bumper detail and the lower fine line, which runs along the doors to the rear, are highlighted with a striking colour accent. At night, the Welcome Lamps reflect the word ‘Mulliner’ on the ground.
The Flying Spur Design Series W12 S has the significant design additions of black brightware around the headlamps and grille, for a more dramatic appearance. The 21” Directional Sports Wheels are painted in Gloss Black, further enhancing the powerful, aggressive nature of the W12 S engine.
The sporting Flying Spur Design Series V8 S sits on 21-inch six twin-spoke wheels which have been black-machined to reflect the unrivalled dynamic character of the V8 engine.
Inside the Flying Spur Design Series, Mulliner has handcrafted a unique, luxurious space in which to travel. The perforated hide on the leather seats reveals a vibrant secondary colour underneath, which echoes the bold colour accents throughout the limited-edition Flying Spur. The steering wheel also features a coloured 12 o’clock stripe. The hide on the seat bolsters, and on the door inserts, is exquisitely quilted by Mulliner.
There is a new, bespoke contrast colour split on the inside of the top roll and waist rail tops, creating a palette of three hide colours inside the luxury sedan. The centre console is finished in Piano Black.
In an automotive first, Mulliner has also showcased the technical precision and sporting prowess of Bentley with the use of Titanium-enriched carbon fibre on the waist rails and fascia panel. Previously, this highly technical finish was only used in the aviation industry. The treadplates are finished in one of the five accent colours and feature a ‘Mulliner’ illumination.
