Bentley invited us to customize a 2025 Continental GT Speed as part of its bespoke Mulliner process. There are billions of possible exterior and interior combinations
Transcript
00:00Picture this you're at work. You want to burn a couple of hours and you hop onto the Bentley customization tool
00:05You make yourself a perfect Bentley
00:07Well, you can actually do that in real life if you want with a bespoke design consultant for Mulliner such as Georgia here
00:14Which is exactly what we're gonna do
00:15We're gonna act like we're real Bentley customers and we are going to customize our very own Bentley and see how it goes
00:30Mulliner is the team you call when you want to customize a car from the ground up
00:34But today's visit isn't just for S's and G's Bentley intends to actually build the Continental GT speed
00:40I customized as a media vehicle and send it back here for me to drive
00:44The process you see in this video is as authentic to the buying experience as can be
00:49Only I will not be buying the car at the end unless I like win the lottery or something
00:55Okay. So what's the first step the good question is what your favorite color?
00:59I have been into like plums recently
01:04Okay. Yeah, brilliant
01:06So depending on what kind of purple you would like and have a look at some samples see what you like
01:11Yeah. Yeah. Should we have a look? Yes
01:19This one is tanzanite purple
01:23If we're kind of looking at the trim on the exterior to be black, yeah, yeah, should we go kind of down that route
01:32Can we do the whole wheel black? Of course you can
01:36You can either have steel brakes or you can have carbon ceramic brakes
01:40Steel brakes are a good idea
01:41Steel brakes, perfect
01:43Depending on if you want a more minimal look the Bentley text can be removed
01:48I like the D badge
01:50There is some other elements we can tie in from the exterior
01:53But I'm gonna let you guide me on kind of what colors you'd like to introduce from the interior
01:59And we can always pop back out and kind of elevate the exterior if you want to include any small details
02:12What if we did like a saddle? Okay
02:15That's the main thing
02:17What's this one? Mulliner white? Yes
02:23Now that you've done it, I don't love it
02:26Maybe something darker
02:28I wonder if we can do... Oh, tanzanite purple?
02:32Perfect match
02:33Let's match it, yes
02:39What do we think there?
02:41I think it's a good idea
02:44What do we think there?
02:47I wanted to make the purple work, I think the purple is not currently bending to my will
02:54Oh gosh, we're at an impasse now
02:59Can we change the exterior color? Of course
03:04Do you have like a pale pink?
03:08That's a nice pink
03:10That's a nice pink
03:11It's cool, isn't it? Especially with the black line
03:14It became so beachy all of a sudden
03:16So that's the outside
03:18What seat leather are we doing?
03:21So the minute we've got saddle and tanzanite purple
03:25Especially when you've got that kind of light golden
03:29Camel's also a nice color
03:31This one?
03:32Yeah
03:33Let's try that
03:34And then I'm gonna rethink the purple in there as well
03:41What would you do as a contrast stitch?
03:46So the stratos, which is kind of a light grey
03:52Yeah, that's better
03:54It's almost like you do this all the time
04:03So these are the little details I was talking about
04:07Where once we know what we're doing in the interior
04:10We can include these kind of accent colors
04:13And have the stalks in black
04:15Yes
04:16Yes?
04:17Yes
04:18You can also include a pinstripe on the mirror caps
04:23I love her, she's perfect
04:25She's brilliant
04:27As you saw, I changed my mind a few times
04:30Because what you think you want might not always work in real life
04:34But I'm happy with the car I designed
04:36And after this session, Bentley sent over some high-res renders
04:39So we can get a better idea of how it would look
04:41What do you think?
04:47As for price, well, all my bespoke options came to $48,345
04:54That, mind you, is on top of the Continental GT Speed's $353,595 MSRP
05:02So the grand total for this Vision in Pink is
05:05Are you sitting down?
05:07$401,640
05:11I guess I have expensive taste
05:16So, that is what the process would look like
05:19If you wanted a Bentley and didn't want to just go home
05:23With something off of the dealer lot
05:25You would sit down with a professional, such as Georgia
05:27And she would walk you through all of the things that Malena can do for you
05:31And more
05:32So, this car, I'm told, will be ready in about 6-8 months
05:37I'm hoping not a whole lot will be changed on her
05:40Because I really, really want to meet her
05:42So, until then, thank you so much for everything, Georgia
05:45It was so nice working with you
05:47And thanks for watching, guys
