Bentley debuts six new cars at Monterey Car Week 2021, a four-day exhibition. All three of Bentley Mulliner’s portfolios – Classic, Coachbuilt and Collections – came together for the first time, alongside a public debut of Bentley’s new hybrid range featuring both the new Flying Spur Hybrid and the Bentayga Hybrid.
The new Flying Spur Mulliner – the pinnacle of the Flying Spur range, and featuring unique Mulliner details such as 22” Mulliner wheels with self-leveling centers, a “Double Diamond” front grille and satin silver mirror caps. The Flying Spur Mulliner was joined by its Continental GT coupe and Convertible siblings to represent the Mulliner Collections portfolio. The Coachbuilt portfolio was demonstrated by the development prototype (“Car Zero”) of the Bacalar project, resplendent in new Scarab green paint and a retrimmed cabin, both specifically created for Monterey Car Week.
The final star attraction from Mulliner was the representative of the Classic portfolio, in the form of the engineering prototype of the Blower Continuation Series. Having completed a 6,000 mile development and durability program, Blower Car Zero was run on the roads around the peninsula every day during Monterey Car Week, covering 350 miles.
Alongside the Mulliner showcase were new cars from Bentley’s mainstream product range. Of particular note was the public debut of Bentley’s new hybrid range, with the new Flying Spur Hybrid taking its place alongside the Bentayga Hybrid. Two thirds of Bentley’s model range is now available with a Hybrid option.
The Mulliner family, the Hybrid range, the Unifying Spur and the Continental GT Speed Convertible formed a stunning display to welcome guests to Saturday night’s Signature Party, held at The Beach & Tennis Club in Pebble Beach. The party followed the previous night’s private dinner at Seal Rock Beach for 150 clients.
