Bentley has once again redefined the paradigm of bespoke luxury with the introduction of the Bentayga EWB Azure V8 by Mulliner. This masterpiece, a symphony of meticulous craftsmanship and unparalleled personalization, heralds a new era for Bentley enthusiasts seeking to infuse their automotive dreams with a unique signature.
Crafted by Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house bespoke and personalization division, the Bentayga EWB Azure V8 emerges as a canvas for the extraordinary. It is the embodiment of a growing trend among the marque’s patrons: the quest for a truly individualized Bentley experience. This pursuit of personalization is vividly illustrated in the delivery of a striking duo-tone Bentayga Azure, a first of its kind, tailored to the desires of its expectant custodians.
The narrative of this Bentley begins with its singular two-tone exterior finish, a decision that prompted Bentley Motors to advance the introduction of two-tone finishes for Bentayga Azure by a year. This adaptation is a testament to Bentley’s commitment to realizing its customers’ visions, irrespective of the complexity or novelty of the request.
The vehicle’s inception is rooted in the process of ‘co-curation’—a collaborative journey where customers are encouraged to dive deep into the tens of billions of possible specifications, guided by Mulliner’s artisans and designers.
The tale of the “Kingfisher” Bentayga Azure, named for its brilliant metallic electric blue finish, is illustrative of the bespoke journey. Commissioned by a couple from Irvine, California, the vehicle transcends the conventional with its vibrant hues, bespoke materials, and customized features.
This journey of creation saw the couple, initially intending to select from the existing palette of options, inspired to push the boundaries of imagination alongside Mulliner’s Design Manager, Phill Dean. The result is a vehicle that stands as a testament to the possibilities inherent in true luxury personalization.
This “One of One” edition of the Bentayga Azure is more than an automobile; it is a personal vision realized—a narrative of luxury that speaks through Onyx and Kingfisher Blue, through dark roofs and cabin spaces designed to evoke a sportier, yet elegantly subdued aesthetic. The interior, a realm of bespoke luxury, features four-seat configurations with Bentley’s airline seat specification, mood lighting, and an audio system by Naim for Bentley, each element accentuated by Kingfisher accents.
The commitment to personalization extends beyond the visual to the tactile, with a Mulliner key box designed for the security of valuables, delivered in a harmonious blend of Imperial Blue hide and Mandarin, complemented by Imperial Blue Alcantara for the inner surfaces.
The burgeoning trend for personal commissions is evidenced by the fact that approximately 75% of vehicles departing Bentley’s Crewe factory featured Mulliner content in 2023. In the Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure V8 by Mulliner, we have the perfect example of such a demand for personalization. It is also a testament to the art of bespoke craftsmanship at Bentley.
