Bentley Continental Mulliner Riviera Collection revealed
The Continental GT-based Mulliner Riviera Collection cars will only be available through the firmâs Monaco hub
Despite having around half the population of Bentleyâs hometown of Crewe, Monaco will receive a bespoke line of nautical-themed Continental GTs to celebrate âthe elegant world of the yachting industryâ.Â
Bentley says its new Mulliner Riviera Collection will be the âultimate expression of open-air grand touringâ with handcrafted detailing to reflect the âexclusive character of the French Rivieraâ. Monegasque customers will be able to configure their cars through Bentleyâs Mulliner Bespoke programme.Â
Available only in convertible GTC form, these special Continentals are available with three unique paint finishes - Aegean Blue, Aquamarine and Caribbean Blue, which can also cover the carbon fibre extensions and boot lid spoiler. The faux vent behind the front wheel gains a Mulliner badge, while the usual badging to indicate the presence of either the Continentialâs V8 or W12 engine is removed. Bentley has yet to reveal which of the powerplants the Riviera Collection will be offered with but the regular Continental GTC Mulliner range is available with either engine and the quad exhaust tips on the car in the pictures suggests the V8 will be available.Â
Inside thereâs a selection of sailing-inspired features such as the marine knot logos embroidered on the headrests, a light, linen and Alcantara trim to the seats, plus navy and gold leather elsewhere. There are also treadplates with âRiviera Collectionâ inscribed and the centre console receives a yacht-like teak decking design.
As with all of Bentleyâs Mulliner creations, pricing is dependent on the customerâs specification. We expect each one of the Riviera Collection cars to cost far north of the standard carâs ÂŁ194,000 price tag.
