Introducing the Bold New Design Theme by Mulliner for Super Sports Cars

Bentley Unveils New Design Theme for Super Sports Cars

On July 1, 2026, Bentley Motors introduced a fresh and exclusive custom design theme called 'Design Theme by Mulliner' aimed particularly at owners of super sports cars. The reveal took place at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed, where this daring new specification was presented to enthusiasts and media alike.

A Bold Aesthetic: Gradient Paint

This new design theme marks a significant milestone for Bentley as it features the first-ever side-to-side gradient paint that shifts from one color to another across the vehicle's body. The exterior showcases a vibrant accent color that highlights the driver’s side, seamlessly transitioning into a darker hue on the opposite side. To further emphasize the driver-centric aspect of the design, an off-center highlight stripe extends from the front to the rear along the passenger side, adding a unique flair that helps distinguish this model from the rest. Importantly, this arrangement maintains a driver-focused design, whether the vehicle is right-hand or left-hand drive.

To accentuate the exterior finish, the front grille is adorned with the number '8', and the carbon fiber diffuser, fender blades, and side sills sport accented pinstripes that enhance the overall sporty appeal.

Diverse Design Themes for a Tailored Experience

Bentley has crafted three selected design themes that extend the coordinated aesthetics from the exterior into the interior:

1. Dragon: This theme transitions seamlessly from Dragon Red to Black Crystal on the exterior and features an interior mix of Hotspur and Beluga, creating a striking environment centered around the driver.

2. Electric: This variant subtly shifts from Electric Blue to Dark Sapphire and incorporates vibrant Klein Blue accents within an Imperial Blue cabin, resulting in a balanced yet bold appearance.

3. Brodgar: With a modern appeal, the exterior transitions from Pale Brodgar to Brodgar while the interior combines Camel and Beluga to create an elegant and sophisticated space.

Interior Design: A Driver-Centric Focus

The interior of the new super sports car draws inspiration from the energy and precision of motorsports, echoing the driver-oriented design of the exterior. The layout is dedicated to two seats only, ensuring that the driver is at the heart of the experience. The 'Design Theme by Mulliner' embraces an asymmetric two-tone layout, characterized by a light color on the driver’s side and darker tones on the passenger side.

Every detail is considered in the interior, from full leather specifications to door inserts and seating, which feature unique perforation patterns exclusive to the super sports model. The contrast colors of the gear lever match the driver’s seat, while contrasting stitching on the dashboard and headrests enhances the cohesive ambiance of the cabin. Custom color combinations selected by Bentley's designers ensure exclusivity and flair.

Customers wishing for alternative colors or bespoke paint options can consult with their local Bentley dealership for customized specifications through Mulliner.

Design Themes for Personalization

At the launch of the super sports car, two primary design themes were available: 'Level One' and 'Level Two,' allowing customers to combine various interior textures, such as three-tone interiors with specialized stitching, hand-stitched details, and a heated three-spoke steering wheel.

Exterior options include 22-inch wheels with a gloss black and diamond cut finish, alongside body kit accent pinstripes and logo placements on the lower door. The styling options come in color choices like Skies, Meteorite, Daybreak, Snowstorm, and Nightfall.

World Premiere at Goodwood Festival of Speed

The 'Design Theme by Mulliner' had its world premiere at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, displayed alongside other limited-edition vehicles with unique designs created by Mulliner at the Bentley stand, located across from the Goodwood House. This showcase highlighted Bentley's dedication to craftsmanship and creativity in the world of super sports cars.
