A commissioned Continental GTC Speed has resurrected a color from Bentley’s history – the striking and vibrant blue-purple tone of Violette. The shade was chosen to reflect a client’s personal vision and to avoid more understated colors.
The bold tone is complemented by a Gloss Black exterior and Gloss Black Bentley badges. The seven-layer material canvas roof is finished in a dark gray metallic weave, to complement the contemporary exterior of the car.
An interior to match
To mirror the customer’s penchant for vibrancy, Mulliner has incorporated a bespoke hide in Tanzanite Purple to reflect the exterior’s distinctive tone. The color is applied to the center console, three-dimensional leather door panels, steering wheel and seat backs, while Linen hide is featured on the seats, steering wheel and center console to enhance the richness of the purple. Accents of Lilac are woven throughout the cabin using hide and thread, including the gear lever and steering wheel straight-ahead mark, adding depth and refinement to the bespoke interior.
Finely detailed stitching and seat piping in Lilac add depth and refinement, contrasted against the tactile surfaces of the Stone Veneer and 3D-textured hide.
Stone Veneer is a state-of-the-art finish crafted by Bentley, and is a fusion of century-old craftsmanship and advanced technologies. The result is a highly textured veneer with variations in color and pattern that are almost impossible to imitate. Mulliner’s craft teams can take stone and create fascia, console and waistrail panels in lightweight veneers just 0.1mm in thickness.
The cabin is further elevated with Bentley’s signature rotating display, a Bentley flagship audio system and the dark chrome interior specification.
