(PRESS RELEASE) STUTTGART, 17-Oct-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Bentley Stuttgart has commemorated its 15th anniversary by introducing the Black Forest Regional Collection, a bespoke lineup created by Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house coachbuilding division. Inspired by the natural beauty and heritage of southwest Germany’s famed Black Forest, the exclusive series features three exceptional models — the Bentayga S Black Edition, the Continental GT Speed, and the Continental GTC Speed — each representing a fusion of local artistry and Bentley’s hallmark craftsmanship.

The anniversary celebration, held at Bentley Stuttgart, gathered clients, collectors, and brand enthusiasts to witness the debut of this limited-edition collection. Every model in the Black Forest Regional Collection embodies the region’s depth and textures, showcasing the refined design language for which Bentley and Mulliner are renowned. The vehicles feature a distinctive ‘Scarab’ green exterior, bespoke Black Forest treadplates, and an exclusive luggage set in Beluga leather with Pillar Box Red accents, complete with embossed collection tags.

Inside, the cabins evoke the essence of the forest through open-pore walnut veneers, contrast stitching, and warm, natural leathers. Finely detailed craftsmanship includes a unique dashboard etching of Black Forest leaves and custom embroidery on the seat inserts featuring leaf and berry motifs in Fern Green and Pillar Box Red — subtle yet striking tributes to the region’s lush scenery.

The Bentayga S Black Edition showcases Bentley’s commanding SUV character, blending elegance and performance with a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 542 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque, propelling it from 0–100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. It exudes confidence through 22-inch black directional wheels and dynamic design accents that highlight its sporty versatility.

The Continental GT Speed brings forward Bentley’s grand touring tradition with an innovative Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain, pairing a twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor for a combined 762 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque. Accelerating from 0–100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, it stands as the most powerful Continental GT ever produced. Its open-top sibling, the Continental GTC Speed, shares this hybrid system and elevated chassis technology, ensuring an exhilarating yet composed drive — embodying the ultimate expression of open-air luxury performance.

This collection also underscores the enduring partnership between Bentley Motors and Bentley Stuttgart, which over the past 15 years has become a leading destination for luxury automotive excellence in Germany. It celebrates not only the dealership’s legacy but also Bentley’s vision of personalisation and local connection through design.

Richard Leopold, Regional Director of Bentley Motors Europe, remarked:
“The Black Forest Regional Collection is a perfect example of how Bentley’s British craftsmanship and regional inspiration come together. It celebrates our 15-year partnership with Bentley Stuttgart, reflecting our shared commitment to creating truly personal and locally resonant expressions of luxury.”

Christian Wild, General Manager of Bentley Stuttgart, added:
“The Black Forest has always been part of our identity — it represents craftsmanship, heritage, and timeless beauty, much like Bentley itself. With these special editions, we wanted to give our customers something uniquely theirs — cars that tell a story about where they come from and what inspires them.”

Designed and handcrafted by Mulliner, the Black Forest Regional Collection represents the height of automotive personalisation. Each vehicle merges artistry, technology, and narrative — turning local inspiration into world-class luxury and reinforcing Bentley’s commitment to creating cars that embody individuality, culture, and craftsmanship.
