Bentley Mulliner’s new Collections
portfolio is officially open with the creation of this bespoke Continental GT
Convertible, dubbed the Equestrian Edition. The car is inspired by a
prestigious course that’s part of the horse racing calendar, and was
commissioned by Bentley Bristol. The pics were
taken at Jackdaws Castle, a famous equestrian training facility.
The exterior features a specially
commissioned shade of green called Spruce, paired with the Blackline
specification – adding gloss black details instead of bright chrome ones
(bezels, radiator grille, exhaust outlets etc). There’s also a set of gloss
black 22-inch Mulliner Driving Specification wheels.
Inside, there are horse and rider
silhouettes on all four seats, which are finished in sustainable Saddle hide,
complemented by a Cumbrian Green secondary hide. Other details include the
diamond quilting, authentic Tweed fabric, Bentley Mulliner branding, lavish
gold detailing, straight grain Walnut single veneer and box wood inlays.
In order to complete the bespoke look of
the interior, Bentley Mulliner also applied their trademark branded
treadplates, so you’d know this isn’t just any Bentley.
As for on-board tech, this Continental GTC
Equestrian Edition is loaded with driver assistance features that are part of
the Touring spec. This includes Lane Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Bentley
Safeguard Plus, Night vision and Head-up display. Meanwhile, Bentley’s City
spec adds the Top view camera, Traffic sign recognition, City assist,
Pedestrian warning, Reversing traffic warning, Automatic dimming mirrors and
Hands-free boot opening.
