Bentley's Mulliner Division Gives the Bentayga an "Apex Edition" Makeover

Bentley's bespoke division, Mulliner, has introduced another special edition of the Bentayga, namely the "Apex Edition," an exclusive luxury SUV limited to just 20 units globally. Based on the sporty Bentayga S, the Apex Edition combines advanced engineering with exquisite design to offer unmatched performance and style.

At the heart of the Bentayga Apex Edition is Bentley’s robust 4L, twin-turbocharged V8 engine, producing 542 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque. This power allows the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, with a top speed of 180 mph. Enhanced by Bentley Dynamic Ride and rear-wheel steering, the Bentayga S serves as the foundation for what is now the most dynamic iteration of the model.

A standout feature of the Apex Edition is its 22" Mulliner carbon wheels, developed in collaboration with Bucci Composites. These wheels reduce the unsprung mass by 24 kg, enhancing steering agility and reducing tire wear through increased rim stiffness. Coupled with carbon ceramic brakes, these wheels also improve braking responsiveness and safety, ensuring performance that matches the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal.

The exterior design of the Apex Edition is equally impressive, featuring a central painted livery stripe -- an innovation for the Bentayga -- extending over the hood and roof. Mulliner offers six curated design themes for the Apex Edition, ranging from the striking Candy Red satin to the subtle Pale Brodgar, each complemented by unique interior designs. For example, the Candy Red theme features Arctic White and Hotspur hides inside, with accents in Arctic White. In contrast, the Pale Brodgar theme offers a relaxed interior atmosphere with flashes of Bacalar Bronze.

Notably, for owners of the Continental GT and GTC Le Mans Edition, an even rarer opportunity exists to commission an Apex Edition Bentayga that matches their vehicle's trim and livery, celebrating Bentley’s rich racing heritage.

The interior of each Apex Edition Bentayga showcases bespoke elements such as a satin carbon fiber fascia, Apex Edition embroidery and a high-spec Naim audio system, ensuring luxury and comfort are at the forefront. With such detailed personalization options and strict production limits, the Bentayga Apex Edition by Mulliner is positioned to be one of the most collectible and unique examples of the Bentayga to date.
