The Bentley Bespoke Series 2027: Six Expressions of Mulliner Craftsmanship
Bentley Mulliner has introduced the Bespoke Series 2027, the first installment in a new
annual collection created to explore the evolving possibilities of bespoke
automotive craftsmanship.
Limited to just 100 individually numbered vehicles worldwide, the inaugural collection
is available on the Bentley Continental GT S and Continental GTC S. Clients may
choose from six carefully developed exterior and interior expressions, each
centered on a distinctive interpretation of color.
Rather than approaching personalization as a collection of individual options, the
Bentley Bespoke Series 2027 presents six cohesive specifications. Exterior
paint, hand-applied details, veneers, upholstery accents and identifying
features have been composed to create a complete visual identity for each
vehicle.
For clients in Houston and throughout Texas, Bentley Houston’s brand experts can
provide additional information about the Bespoke Series 2027, discuss potential
commissioning opportunities and help explore how Mulliner may allow an
individual specification to extend beyond the curated collection.
What Is the Bentley Bespoke Series 2027?
The Bespoke Series 2027 is Mulliner’s first annual bespoke collection. Bentley
describes the series as a new yearly showcase through which Mulliner will
examine different aspects of its heritage, artistry, innovation and
craftsmanship.
The inaugural series focuses on color as one of the most immediate and personal
forms of automotive expression. Five of its six paints are new, with finishes
inspired by natural landscapes, precious materials and the changing interaction
between color and light.
Every vehicle is individually numbered as part of a worldwide production run of 100
examples. The collection is based on two members of the Continental family:
· Bentley Continental GT S
· Bentley Continental GTC S
The Continental GT S offers the proportions and presence of a grand touring coupe,
while the Continental GTC S provides an open-air interpretation of the same
performance-focused character.
Across both models, the Bespoke Series treatment combines a distinctive exterior
finish with coordinated cabin materials, detailed Mulliner craftsmanship and
discreet identifiers that distinguish the vehicle as part of the limited
collection.
Six Curated Bentley Bespoke Series Specifications
Each Bespoke Series 2027 expression begins with a specific paint finish and carries
its color story into the vehicle’s cabin. The result is not simply a choice of
exterior color, but a coordinated design intended to be appreciated as a whole.
Salerno Blue
Salerno Blue draws its inspiration from the waters surrounding Italy’s Salerno Coast.
Three shades of blue are combined to produce a layered finish with the visual
depth and variation associated with the Mediterranean.
The specification is intended to change subtly with light and viewing angle,
emphasizing the sculpted bodywork of the Continental GT S or Continental GTC S.
Bright Ruby Pearlescent
Bright Ruby Pearlescent introduces a jewel-like red finish developed around Bentley’s
Ruby Diamond paint. Bentley identifies it as the company’s first tinted
three-layer paint system.
A deep base coat is covered by transparent and vivid red layers, creating a rich
finish with changing highlights reminiscent of a faceted ruby. The result is
expressive without losing the sense of precision expected from a Mulliner
commission.
Midnight Prism Pearlescent
Midnight Prism Pearlescent takes its inspiration from deep space. A solid black base is
combined with a glass-infused pearlescent coating to create an exceptionally
dark blue with brighter highlights emerging under direct light.
From a distance, the finish can appear restrained and nearly black. At closer range or
in changing light, the blue undertones and pearlescent elements become more
apparent.
Manuka Orange
Inspired by the amber tones of manuka honey, Manuka Orange combines warmth, depth and a
highly reflective finish.
Its caramel-like undertones and brighter highlights allow the paint to respond
noticeably to its surroundings. The specification offers a confident use of
color while retaining the richness and sophistication associated with Bentley’s
grand touring models.
Spectral Verdant
Spectral Verdant is influenced by both rainforest canopies and the heritage of BritishRacing Green. Its layered greens create a prismatic effect that can shift in
appearance as the vehicle moves through different lighting conditions.
This specification connects a color closely associated with British motoring history
to a more contemporary expression of Mulliner paint craftsmanship.
Snow Quartz
Snow Quartz is a pearlescent white inspired by the crystalline appearance of
Norway’s snow-covered mountains.
Its cool tone and reflective qualities are intended to bring greater definition to the
superformed exterior surfaces of the Continental GT S and Continental GTC S.
The result is a clean and sculptural presentation that reveals its complexity
through texture and light rather than through a more vivid hue.
Bespoke Details Inside and Out
The six paint finishes may be the collection’s central theme, but the Bespoke Series
treatment extends well beyond exterior color.
A hand-painted central livery stripe runs from the boot to the bonnet, visually
connecting the front and rear of the vehicle while emphasizing the
Continental’s shape. Inside, exterior colors are echoed through piano-painted
veneers and coordinated accent details.
Satin black veneers are paired with surfaces matched to the chosen exterior finish
and divided by a fine dark-chrome pinstripe. This approach brings the exterior
color story into the cabin without allowing it to overwhelm the interior.
Additional Bespoke Series elements include:
· Individually numbered anodized black treadplates
· Bespoke plaques engraved with each vehicle’s
collection number
· A unique perforation pattern
· Discreet Bespoke Series branding
· Coordinated handover accessories
These details give every vehicle a recognizable place within the collection while
allowing each of the six color expressions to maintain its own identity.
Can Mulliner Personalize a Bespoke Series Bentley Further?
The Bentley Bespoke Series 2027 provides a curated starting point: six carefully
coordinated specifications designed by Mulliner to demonstrate the expressive
possibilities of color. Mulliner, however, represents a broader approach to
personal commissioning.
Depending on the vehicle, the requested feature and Bentley’s approval, clients may be
able to consider established choices from the Mulliner Personal Commissioning
Guide or work with Bentley’s specialists on more individualized details.
This can provide an opportunity to explore bespoke features beyond the collection’s
foundational specification. The objective is not simply to add more options,
but to determine whether additional details can make the vehicle more
personally meaningful while respecting the design integrity and identifying
characteristics of the Bespoke Series.
Because bespoke requests are evaluated individually, the availability and feasibility
of any particular material, finish or design element must be confirmed through
Bentley. A Bentley Houston brand expert can help communicate the client’s
intentions, explain available pathways and coordinate the commissioning
conversation with the appropriate Bentley and Mulliner representatives.
A New Annual Chapter for Bentley Mulliner
Mulliner’s origins can be traced to a saddlery established in 1559, long before the
motorcar. Over the centuries, its work evolved from equipment for horse-drawn
transportation to coachbuilding and, ultimately, to the highly individualized
Bentley commissions created today.
The Bespoke Series brings that history into a new annual format. Similar to a
seasonal collection from a luxury fashion house, each edition is expected to
examine a particular dimension of bespoke design.
For 2027, that dimension is color: how it responds to light, how it can connect the
exterior and interior, and how a carefully developed finish can give a vehicle
a distinct identity.
With only 100 individually numbered examples planned worldwide, this first Bespoke Series
also marks the beginning of the annual collection itself. Its significance
therefore comes from more than production quantity. It represents the opening
chapter of a new Mulliner tradition.
