Following the success of the Blackline package on the Continental GT, Bentley and its in-house coach builder, Mulliner, have introduced the same darkened package to the Flying Spur Mulliner. Available on vehicles equipped with the V6 hybrid, V8, or W12 powertrain, the package trades the large majority of the Flying Spur‘s exterior brightwork for darker, more menacing trim. The contemporary treatment, the brand says, is now available on all Mulliner models.
Specifically, the trim treatment replaces
the satin silver upper mirror caps with “Beluga Black” versions. The wing
vents, meanwhile, are also blackened and highlighted with a bright Mulliner
badge. The radiator grille remains black with bright edges and the lower bumper
grille is also finished in black. The Blackline trim also comes with two wheel
options. The first are, it won’t surprise you to hear, black 22-inch wheels
with contrasting polished pockets that offer a little visual intrigue. The
second set’s wheels also span 22-inches across, but they feature self-leveling
badges that are surrounded with chrome rings.
Inside, Bentley says the
Blackline package offers no changes from normal Mulliner models. Flying Spur
customers, though, were always offered countless choices in specifying the
interior appointments of their sedan. As ever, Bentley offers eight
individually curated interior treatments, which are made up of a main color,
secondary color, and accent color for customers to choose. With lots of
exquisite materials, customers are sure to be able to craft an interior that
suits them and their new darkened exterior trim.
Bentley calls the Mulliner edition the
pinnacle of the Flying Spur range, and introduced the model a year ago at
Monterey Car Week. It’s only fitting, then, that this new option has been
introduced at the same event.
