Specially ordered exterior spruce paint
22-inch Mulliner Driving Specification glossy black wheels with Continental Blackline specifications
(Crewe, March 06, 2020) Bentley Mulliner has enriched its new portfolio of collections with the creation of a truly tailor-made Continental GT Convertible – the equestrian edition.
This one-of-a-kind Continental GT Convertible embodies a myriad of distinctive features, building on the strengths of Bentley’s iconic open-top Grand Tourer. Inspired by the largest racetrack in the world and home to the most exhilarating and prestigious event on the horse racing calendar, the Cheltenham Festival, the only example of the equestrian edition was specially commissioned by Bentley Bristol and hand built by Bentley Mulliner at Crewe. To celebrate the inspiration for the car, it was recently photographed at Jackdaws Castle – the famous state-of-the-art equestrian training center and home of Jonjo O’Neill Racing, just 10 miles from Cheltenham Racecourse.
Sumptuous embroidery and handcrafted marquetry rarefies the equestrian edition. Horse and rider silhouettes adorn the four seats, which are finished in the aptly named durable saddle skin. A secondary green skin from Cumbria completes the custom theme. The same silhouette of horse and rider accompanies the Bentley Mulliner brand in the front fairing, where the sumptuous golden details elegantly accentuate the simple walnut veneer with straight grain and boxwood inlays.
Continuing the interior theme, the diamond quilt now synonymous with Bentley Mulliner is crafted using authentic Tweed fabric, with a contrasting light blue dot introducing a modern touch and providing a distinctive feature to the door inlays and rear quarter panels. Bentley Mulliner has applied its brand threshold sills to complement the custom interior of the equestrian edition.
On the outside, a specially ordered and distinct shade of green called spruce is associated with the Blackline specification, which replaces shiny chrome with shiny black versions for all outdoor light fixtures, goggles, radiator grille and outlet lights. exhaust. 22-inch Mulliner Driving Specification rims in glossy black complete the specification.
The car is equipped with two suites of Bentley’s advanced driver assistance technologies, namely; Bentley Touring specifications which include lane assist, adaptive cruise control, Bentley Safeguard Plus, night vision and head-up display, as well as the Bentley City specification incorporating the top view camera, panel recognition signaling, city assistance, pedestrian warning, reverse traffic warning, auto-dimming mirrors and hands-free start opening.

A new three-portfolio structure sees an expansion of Bentley Mulliner in the coming months.
