A special Bentley Bentayga Hybrid in green

Inspired by the Chinese colour of purity, Bentley Mulliner has created an elegant one-off Bentayga Hybrid specifically commissioned for a customer in China. The green-themed car is due to be showcased at the Shanghai Motor Show in April and is an exquisite example of Bentley Mulliner's craftsmanship.

This stunning personal commission has an exterior finished in Viridian, a dark emerald hue from the Mulliner Extended paint range. The exterior is complemented by bright-machined 22-inch Mulliner Driving Specification Wheels, each of which has the centre pockets of every spoke painted in matching Viridian.

The bespoke interior includes Cumbrian Green hide, matching piano veneer and contrasting stitching highlighting the craftsmanship throughout the cabin. Over 100m of bright white hand cross-stitched thread emphasies the craftsmanship and attention to interior detail and is reflected on the interior of the doors, seat backs and even in the piano Cumbrian Green veneer via a unique overlay.

Within Chinese culture, the colour green represents purity, regeneration, hope, harmony and growth. The dark greens reflect nature and are fundamentally soothing, adding to the inherent serenity brought by silent electric motoring in the Bentayga Hybrid. Furthermore, the shades of green commissioned by the customer were inspired by the British countryside, specifically the Lake District.

The exterior of this Bentayga Hybrid is painted in Viridian. Viridian is a mysterious dark emerald originally created for the EXP 10 Speed 6 concept. It is a dark shade of spring green situated between cyan and green on the colour wheel. With flecks of amber and gold, this colour embodies a sense of luxury.

The deep agate green with light green and blue undertones creates depth and a sporty dimension that compliments the lines of the Bentayga. The interior of the car is trimmed in Cumbrian Green leather that compliments the Viridian exterior. This shade is a modernisation and refreshment of Spruce Green with a more contemporary feel, inspired by the British countryside

To complement the colours further throughout the Bentayga, Bentley Mulliner have matched the interior veneered areas to the Cumbrian Green hide. This helps the serene atmosphere to flow through the car and surround the driver and passengers while emphasising the spacious interior and the connection with nature.

With 103 options for painted veneers, customers have an extensive choice available to create a bespoke interior that is reflective of their personality. Additionally, Bentley Mulliner has created an exquisite handcrafted design to the passenger fascia using a silver metal overlay to create a beautiful finish. This geometric diamond design is reminiscent of the EXP 100 GT concept car that embodies Bentley's sustainable future vision.

Through the Bentley Mulliner Personal Commissioning Guide, customers are able to personalise their cars down to the finest detail to create a configuration that is truly individual and suited to their personality, going even further than the billions of ways a Bentley can be commissioned using the 'standard' options.

To contrast the Cumbrian Green interior, Bentley Mulliner has added white accents through the car to accentuate the flow and beautifully crafted lines of the Bentayga Hybrid. Using contrast carpet binding and contrasting hand stitching to the seats, Bentley Mulliner elevates the serenity and depth of the interior.

The process of hand cross-stitching a Bentayga cabin takes one craftsperson 44 hours to complete. Unique thread has been designed to be extremely durable and uses special dyes to maintain its colour to last for the lifespan of the vehicle.

When entering the vehicle, the driver and passengers are greeted by an illuminated Mulliner treadplate. Housed in the rear centre console is an all new, fully integrated drinks cooler designed by Bentley Mulliner's craftsmen.The drinks cooler includes frosted glass with soft close door, a separate illuminated bottle-chilling ring and two bespoke handcrafted Cumbria Crystal flutes.

The Bentayga Hybrid is powered by a progressive new technology, with a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine producing 443bhp and 700Nm. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, zero to 100km/h arrives in 5.5 seconds, with a top speed of 254km/h. The Bentayga Hybrid does not compromise on performance, luxury or efficiency, and yet still has the unprecedented levels of serenity and composure from a Bentley grand tourer.
