What is the Bentley Mulliner Supersports Design Theme?

In my experience, bespoke programs like Bentley Mulliner’s Design Theme offer a unique way for owners to personalize their vehicles. The Supersports Design Theme features a side-to-side fading paint theme, available in three configurations: Dragon, Electric, and Brodgar.

The Dragon theme, shown in the example, features a dark Black Crystal tone on the driver’s side that bleeds into a vivid Dragon Red on the passenger side. The Electric theme pairs Electric Blue and Dark Sapphire outside with Klein Blu and Imperial Blue inside, while the Brodgar theme matches Pale Brodgar and Brodgar bodywork with a Camel and Beluga interior.

How does the Supersports Design Theme differ from other bespoke programs?

Unlike traditional bi-tone approaches, the Supersports Design Theme runs a gradient across the width of the body, creating a unique and eye-catching visual effect. The theme also carries into the two-seat cabin, with the driver’s seat trimmed in Hotspur red and the passenger’s seat in black Beluga.

In addition to the unique paint theme, the Supersports features an off-center red stripe running front to back, aligned with the passenger seat and offsetting the gradient on the driver’s side. Additional exterior accents include a red number eight on the grille and red pinstripes on the carbon fiber aero components.
