First ‘Ombré’ Sedan Revealed by Bentley – Flying Spur by Mulliner

First ‘Ombré’ Sedan Revealed by Bentley

Bentley has once again raised the bar in automotive artistry with the debut of its first sedan to showcase the exclusive ‘Ombré by Mulliner’ paint finish. This remarkable design innovation blends two complementary paint colours seamlessly across the length of the car, creating a striking and truly bespoke appearance. Applied entirely by hand at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe, England, the Ombré finish represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship, precision, and creativity.

A Flying Spur Like No Other

The model chosen for this debut is the Bentley Flying Spur, a luxury sedan already synonymous with refinement and presence. For this special edition, the paintwork transitions from a vibrant Topaz Blue at the front to a rich Windsor Blue at the rear, with the gradient effect flowing gracefully along the doors, sills, and roofline. The process requires nearly 60 hours of meticulous work by two master paint technicians, ensuring that the transition is perfectly symmetrical and flawless to the human eye.

The Art of Ombré Painting

Creating the Ombré effect is no ordinary task. Each car begins with the front and rear painted separately before the blending process begins. Using traditional mixing techniques, the colours are carefully adjusted to achieve a smooth, gradual transition. The challenge lies in maintaining consistency across both sides of the car—ensuring the gradient is uniform without creating an unintended third shade. This requires immense skill, experience, and precision.

Currently, Bentley offers the Ombré finish in three curated combinations:

• Topaz Blue to Windsor Blue
• Sunburst Gold to Orange Flame
• Tungsten to Onyx

Each pairing is carefully selected to ensure harmony, avoiding colour clashes or accidental creation of a new hue. No two cars will be identical, giving every Ombré Bentley a sense of individuality and exclusivity.

A Showcase of Luxury at the Southampton International Boat Show

The Ombré Flying Spur makes its global debut at the Southampton International Boat Show, a fitting stage to highlight this level of craftsmanship alongside the world’s most luxurious yachts. The sedan follows in the footsteps of the Continental GT, which was the first Bentley to wear this finish when it debuted at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering earlier this year during Monterey Car Week.

Looking Ahead

Bentley has confirmed that more colour combinations will be revealed in the near future, giving clients even greater opportunities for personalisation. With Mulliner leading the charge in bespoke luxury, the Ombré technique further establishes Bentley’s reputation as not only a carmaker but also an artisan of automotive beauty.

For those seeking exclusivity, innovation, and timeless craftsmanship, the Bentley Flying Spur Ombré by Mulliner is more than a car—it is a rolling masterpiece.
