Ultra-limited edition’s name inspired by the Latin word for ‘Gold’

Highlights

Bentley Motors has revealed the first glimpse of the only gold limited edition to ever be created by its commissioning department, Mulliner.

The Continental GT Aurum by Mulliner’s name comes from the Latin word for ‘gold’ and just 10 beautifully crafted examples will be created exclusively for Bentley customers in the Middle East, India and South Africa.

Inspired by the world’s most precious element, the Continental GT Aurum Edition by Mulliner features Bentley’s Black Specification as standard alongside gold painted 22” ‘Mulliner Driving Specification’ wheels, exclusive gold painted Mulliner badging and distinguishing gold exterior detailing.

Transforming the definitive luxury Grand Tourer into the ultimate statement of elegance, the gold theme continues inside the Continental GT Aurum by Mulliner. An 18 carat gold-plated tread plate welcomes occupants into the luxurious cabin whilst the finest materials and gold accents are handcrafted with the utmost precision throughout the limited edition’s interior.

The Piano Black fascia and waist rail are overlaid with gold and a delicate gold strip sweeps through the dual veneer. Quilted surfaces are finished with contrasting gold stitching, a gold stripe in the ’12-o-clock’ position has been added to the steering wheel, and, the floor mats are completed with gold stitched edging.

Full details of the ultra-exclusive Continental GT Aurum by Mulliner will be released later in 2019.
