Resurrecting a Historic Bentley Color: Violette’s Comeback
The customization process for a new Bentley is an art form in itself, especially when delving into the Mulliner catalog.
- Classic Color Revival: The client specifically requested Violette, a relatively uncommon blue-purple shade from Bentley’s past. The Bentley Paint Shop possesses the expertise to bring any historic color back to life on a modern vehicle.
- Growing Trend: Violette joins other resurrected classics like 1950s Sage Green, 1960s Shell Grey, and 2000s Rubino Red, showcasing Mulliner’s commitment to bespoke heritage.
- Superfan’s Collection: This particular owner already boasts an impressive collection including six Bentaygas and a Continental GT, demonstrating a clear passion for the brand.
- Bold Specifications: True to his adventurous nature, this owner’s other Bentleys include a Magenta Bentayga and a Scarab Green Continental GT, proving his belief that luxury cars should not “play it safe” with their specifications.
A Sensational Exterior and Deluxe Interior
The new Continental GTC Speed in Violette is a visual masterpiece, meticulously specified both inside and out.
- Exterior Harmony: The striking blue-purple Violette paint is perfectly complemented by a Dark Grey Metallic seven-layer material canvas roof.
- Aggressive Accents: Gloss Black exterior brightware and black 22-inch wheels provide a sharp contrast, enhancing the GTC Speed’s dynamic and aggressive character.
- Lavish Cabin: The interior is just as bold, featuring Tanzanite Purple hide on the center console, doors, steering wheel, and seatbacks.
- Intricate Details: Light Linen hide forms the primary interior color, making the purple and numerous intricate Lilac accents (seat piping/stitching) truly stand out.
- Material Richness: The cabin incorporates Stone Veneer finishes, a highly textured natural veneer available in shades like Copper, Autumn, Galaxy, or Terra Red. The final touch is the Dark Chrome Interior Specification, adding a contemporary edge.
Mulliner’s Enduring Appeal and Expanded Options
The increasing demand for personalized luxury is met by Mulliner, Bentley’s bespoke division.
- Growing Demand: Over 70 percent of Bentley customers now choose at least one Mulliner feature for their vehicles, highlighting the rising desire for personalized details.
- Expanded Offerings: Mulliner recently introduced a range of new colors, materials, open-pore wood veneers, carbon fiber finishes with various tints, and yacht-inspired interior options to cater to this demand.
