Bentley's Istanbul dealer has announced the exclusive sale of three limited-edition vehicles. Featuring the Continental GT, Flying Spur, and Bentayga in Azure specification with V8 engines, the Bentley Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette Collection offers a wide range of luxury vehicles.

The three vehicles have a Black Sapphire paint job that stands out against the shiny chrome accents of the Azure exterior. The carbon fiber splitter and side skirt extensions of the Continental GT and the Flying Spur feature dragonfly blue accents.

Custom Dragonfly Blue embroidery illustrating the Maiden's Tower, the Galata Tower, and the Bosporus Bridges makes the interior specification more intriguing. Both the headrests and the back cushions have the same designs. Additionally, the Imperial Blue and Beluga hides allude to the patterned tiles of Istanbul's other famous monument, the Blue Mosque.

Piano Imperial Blue wood and Galaxy stone accents on the dashboard, together with a metal plaque on the side sills, are further interior components of the Mulliner treatment. Finally, owners will receive a unique key box that accentuates the distinctiveness of their car. Bentley claims that the Bosporus Strait served as inspiration for the external and interior blue and turquoise tones.

This famous river separates the western half of Turkey from the mainland and links the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara, in case you're not acquainted with the area. The vehicles' foundations remain unchanged, including the Azure trim's comfort-focused layout. Keep in mind that the next edition of the Continental GT will include a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle system that will electrify the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine.

The Bentley Mulliner Istanbul Silhouette Collection, whose price remains unannounced, made its debut this month. The Maslak showroom and a Galaport pop-up shop will display the models.
