Bentley Motors is set to launch an exclusive trio of limited edition models celebrating the vibrant essence of Istanbul. The collection, dubbed the Bentley Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette Collection, includes the Continental GT Azure V8, the Flying Spur Azure V8, and the Bentayga Azure V8. These models, meticulously handcrafted at Bentley’s factory in Crewe, England, will be available exclusively through Bentley Istanbul.
The Istanbul Silhouette Collection pays homage to Istanbul’s rich cultural tapestry, iconic landmarks, and artistic heritage. Collaborating closely with Bentley Istanbul, the craftspeople from Bentley’s Mulliner bespoke division have crafted an accent color concept inspired by the mesmerizing blue and turquoise hues of the Bosphorus Strait and the expansive skies that reflect on its waters.

The exterior of these cars features a stunning Black Sapphire paint that provides a perfect backdrop for sporty ‘Dragonfly’ blue highlights, such as the blue stripe on the carbon side skirts and the unique Silhouette tread plates.
This color theme extends into the interior, where special Istanbul Silhouette embroidery of the Maiden’s Tower, the Galata Tower, and the Bosphorus Bridges is showcased in Dragonfly Blue across the headrests and rear cushions. These elements are complemented by hides in Imperial Blue and Beluga, reminiscent of the intricate blue patterned tiles of the famous Sultanahmet Mosque.
Further enhancing the distinctiveness of the Istanbul Silhouette Collection, ‘Piano Imperial Blue’ wood and ‘Galaxy’ stone adorn the front panel and infotainment area. Each car comes with a specially designed key box, symbolizing the exclusive nature of the vehicle and its connection to Istanbul.
Istanbul, a city that straddles Europe and Asia, is celebrated for its unique blend of history, art, and modernity. The limited edition Mulliner models are designed to reflect this cultural fusion, blending Bentley’s luxury and innovation with the city’s rich heritage.
Kerem Güven, General Manager of Bentley Istanbul, remarked, “Over the past 17 years, we have seen the Bentley brand thrive in Istanbul. The demand for bespoke craftsmanship has grown significantly here, and we expect strong interest from our discerning customers for this exclusive collection that celebrates Istanbul’s unique blend of history, art, and modernity.”
Balazs Rooz, Director at Bentley Motors Europe, added, “Mulliner represents the pinnacle of the Bentley experience, with bespoke details that reflect a place, time, or celebrate an occasion.
Each limited edition car features exquisite interior decor, stitching details, and visuals of Istanbul, while also incorporating sustainable materials and designs inspired by the city, all meticulously crafted in the Mulliner workshop in Crewe.”
The Bentley Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette Collection will be available for purchase in early June, with viewings at Bentley Istanbul’s showroom, represented by the brand’s long-standing partner, Doğuş Otomotiv, located at Maslak in the Doğuş Center. Additionally, a pop-up store will be available at Galaport for potential buyers to explore this exclusive collection.
