These bold accents are seamlessly integrated into both the exterior and interior, creating a cohesive and impactful design language. This exquisite model was on display at the Dubai Polo Gold Cup hosted at the prestigious Al Habtoor Polo Resort & Club, providing an exclusive opportunity for guests to experience the Bentley legacy in person while enjoying the excitement of one of the UAE's most prestigious events. Unparalleled Design & Personalization On the exterior, the accent colours are showcased through a laser-like stripe running across the Styling Specification body kit, which includes the front bumper, side sills, and rear spoiler. Matching brake calipers further enhance the eye-catching contrast, complementing the 22-inch black-painted wheels. All traditional brightware is finished in gloss black, including the Bentley wings and lettering—a first in Bentley's history. A Black Edition badge is positioned on the rear D pillar as the final signature touch. Inside, the handcrafted cabin maintains Bentley's signature luxury while integrating bold accent colours through contrast stitching, piping, and leather sections. The new carbon fibre weave on the fascia, centre console, and waist rails add a dynamic depth to the interior, with the Black Edition badge seamlessly inlaid beneath the lacquered surface. A Dark Chrome pack comes as standard, replacing the traditional bright chrome elements with gloss black finishes on the air vents, organ stop controls, and centre vents.

A sports exhaust system is included as standard, delivering a deeper, more performance-oriented exhaust note.
