Bentley Motors proudly unveils a trio of limited edition models exclusive to Bentley Istanbul: the Continental GT Azure V8, the Flying Spur Azure V8, and the Bentayga Azure V8. Handbuilt at Bentley’s factory in Crewe, England, these models form the Bentley Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette Collection, celebrating the rich cultural heritage, iconic landmarks, and stunning art of Istanbul.
Inspired by the Bosphorus
Bentley’s Mulliner bespoke division collaborated with Bentley Istanbul to create an accent color theme inspired by the vibrant blue and turquoise hues of the Bosphorus Strait. This unique concept is reflected in the Black Sapphire exterior paint, complemented by sporty ‘Dragonfly’ blue highlights on the carbon side skirts and special Silhouette tread plates.
Luxurious Interiors
Inside, the Istanbul Silhouette Collection features special embroidery depicting the Maiden’s Tower, Galata Tower, and the famous Bosphorus bridges, all in Dragonfly Blue. The headrests and rear cushions are adorned with these designs, covered in Imperial Blue and Beluga hides inspired by the Sultanahmet Mosque’s tiles. The interiors also boast ‘Piano Imperial Blue’ wood and ‘Galaxy’ stone on the front panel and infotainment area, adding to the bespoke luxury. Each model includes a specially designed key box, signifying the exclusive nature of these vehicles.
Celebrating Istanbul
Istanbul’s unique position as a crossroads of East and West is reflected in these limited edition models. The city’s vibrant mix of European and Asian cultures, historic and modern elements, and rich artistic heritage are seamlessly blended with Bentley’s luxury and innovation.
Kerem Güven, General Manager of Bentley Istanbul, noted the growing market for bespoke craftsmanship in Istanbul, expressing confidence in the collection’s appeal to discerning customers. “This exclusive collection celebrates our city’s unique blend of history, art, and modernity,” Güven said.
Balazs Rooz, Director at Bentley Motors Europe, highlighted Mulliner’s commitment to bespoke details. “Each limited edition car features beautiful interior decor, stitching details, and visuals of Istanbul, using sustainable materials and designs from the city itself,” Rooz commented.

The Bentley Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette Collection will be available for viewing and purchase starting in early June at Bentley Istanbul, located at Maslak in the Doğuş Center, with a pop-up store in Galaport. Bentley Istanbul is represented by Doğuş Otomotiv, Bentley’s long-standing partner in the region.
