Those looking for a more subtle Bentley now have the option to spec their GT and GT Convertible in the Mulliner Blackline specification.

The unique specification brings a daring, black alternative to the exterior chrome-work on Bentley's class-leading Grand Tourer.

For the Blackline version, all of the exterior brightware excluding the Bentley Winged B' badge turns black, as does the radiator grille bezel. The radiator grille meanwhile remains black with bright edges to the 3D design and the lower bumper grilles are also finished in black.

In place of the satin silver upper mirror caps typical of a GT Mulliner, the mirrors on the Blackline version are finished in gloss Beluga black. The signature Mulliner matrix wing vents are also blackened, and finished with bright Mulliner branding.

The GT Mulliner Blackline models also feature 22-inch painted black rims, with self-levelling badges featuring a chrome ring. Alternatively, a black Mulliner wheel with contrast polished 'pockets' will be available in the near future.

The sumptuous, striking interior of the GT Mulliner Blackline remains unchanged from the existing Mulliner edition, allowing customers to enjoy any colour combination they choose as part of Mulliner's limitless offering, or one of eight recommended three-colour combinations, using Bentley's wide palette of hides and threads.

Depending on region, customers are able to choose between Bentley's now iconic 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 delivering 626bhp, or the dynamic 4.0-litre V8, which offers 542bhp, both of which provide grand touring range with the effortless performance expected of a pinnacle Grand Tourer.
