Bentayga Equestrian Collection is Bentley’s first Belgian limited edition

MANILA: The Bentley Mulliner division has completed a 10-car series of bespoke Bentleys representing the Belgian sport of show jumping. Mulliner and the Belgian retail partners have worked together for the first time to design this sophisticated contrast between the equestrian world and the first-ever go-anywhere luxury SUV that combines the highest levels of power, elegance, and usefulness.

The Bentayga Belgian Equestrian Collection features a distinctive Spectre exterior paint scheme and Bentayga V8 with its 550ps output. Many exterior features, like the 22-inch 10-spoke wheels in black painted finish, the carbon fiber styling kit with mirror caps, and the sports exhaust, have been created to boost the performance and sportiness of the Bentayga.

The interior's Burnt Oak color contrasted with Mandarin stitching neatly complements the exterior. The cushions in Burnt Oak that include Mandarin contrast stitching and the embroidery by the "Stephex Masters" have the same contrast. The door inserts' Herringbone Sand Tweed mirrors the diamond-shaped seat details. The center console and steering wheel are designed in the same color as the gear lever for a pleasant contrast, adding some lightness and sportiness to the interior that is accentuated in full Mandarin. The "Belgian Equestrian Collection" is prominently shown on the veneer on the passenger side behind a metal overlay.

The Belgian Equestrian Collection emphasizes the similarities between the worlds of equestrian and Bentley. Ten cars created in collaboration with Mulliner use eco-friendly materials like the tweed option, which is made in Scotland and gives customers an even more unique interior finish.  Bentley will continue to use only sustainably sourced materials across its current and next generation of cars, assuring the use of ethical and environmentally friendly methods.

In a statement, Bentley Regional Director for Europe Balazs Rooz said, “The Belgian Equestrian Collection illustrates the creativity, craftsmanship and individual personalization details that can be designed through Mulliner. Offering the dream car and attention to detail is what Mulliner stands for and we are glad to see it happen in Belgium this time, now the new home of a 10-car collection of bespoke Bentayga.”

“We are delighted to have worked on this Belgian Equestrian Collection featuring the best of both worlds,” D’Ieteren Automotive Luxury Brands Managing Director Eric Cortois stated. “We have been inspired by the shared passion between the automotive and the equestrian worlds. Many of our customers are involved in the latter and have a strong passion for the 5* jumping contest. Therefore, we worked in association with Stephex on all details to make this collection truly unique. This collection is an homage to the Equestrian world and the athletes competing in Belgium.”

The Bentayga Belgian Equestrian Collection will be on display at the Brussels Stephex Masters, one of the most prestigious show jumping events in the world, from August 24 to 28.

The Belgian Equestrian Collection can be ordered from Bentley Antwerp, Bentley Brussels, and Bentley Knokke.
