Bentley Continental GT V8 S Convertible
in Orange Flame
When it comes to customizing your
vehicle straight from the factory, few offer the attention to detail as
Bentley’s Mulliner coach program does. And this particular Continental GT V8 S
Convertible is a prime example of what the Brits have to offer.
Created for the 2016 Geneva Motor Show,
this Continental gets an Orange Flame over Ghost White two-tone paint job,
complemented with the same color body-kit and illuminated treadplates.
The motif is continued inside with a
bespoke tri-tone theme, with split leather seats featuring orange accents and
Mulliner embroidered headrests, a Linen and Beluga leather-covered steering
wheel with the orange “12 o’clock” stripe, and orange carbon-fiber inserts. The
latter was named Sparkle Carbon, and it’s woven from three different fabrics(
carbon fiber, copper foil and metal wire), before being cut to size and
applied. Afterwards, the surface is lacquered and polished until the foil
aspect of the weave emerged to showcase its natural reflectivity.
The attention to details doesn’t stop
there, as the Breitling clock bezel is color matched to the exterior paint
color and embedded in the Orange Sparkle Carbon inserts.
Surprisingly (or not), the 521 hp and 680
Nm car was sold on the stand at Geneva for an undisclosed price.
