The Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette collection celebrates Istanbul and is exclusively available through Bentley Istanbul. Three vehicles, including the Bentayga Azure V8, the Flying Spur Azure V8, and the Continental GT Azure V8, received special Mulliner touches. Istanbul is a large city that straddles the Bosphorus Strait and was originally called Byzantium by the Greeks and later renamed Constantinople. Istanbul became official in the 20th century after the Ottoman conquest.
Azure is Bentley’s way of saying more beautiful than standard interior details and debuted in May 2022 across the range. It includes various luxury features such as adjustable seats, massage modes, upholstery options, wood veneer choices, and special branding. The Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette Collection features unique black and blue accents, special embroideries of Istanbul landmarks on the seats, and a V8 engine with Audi’s TFSI technology.
The trio is distinguished by Black Sapphire paint, Dragonfly Blue accents, and special tread plates. Key features include a special drawing of Istanbul landmarks, unique upholstery inspired by the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, and special Galaxy stone and Imperial Blue Piano wood details. The V8 engine produces 542 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque, with top speeds ranging between 180 to 198 miles per hour.
In 2025, the Continental GT and Continental GTC will receive revisions, with a plug-in hybrid option built around the twin-turbo V8 engine replacing the W12 engine. Celebrating the beauty and luxury of Istanbul, the Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette collection offers a unique and exclusive experience for Bentley enthusiasts looking for a touch of elegance and sophistication inspired by the vibrant city.
