Bentley Stuttgart has celebrated 15 years of delivering exceptional customer experiences with the debut of the Black Forest Regional Collection, a Mulliner bespoke series inspired by the landscape, heritage, and craftsmanship of southwest Germany. The launch event at Bentley Stuttgart brought together long-time clients, collectors, and friends of the brand to mark the retailer’s milestone anniversary. The exclusive series includes three models — the Bentayga S Black Edition, the Continental GT Speed, and the Continental GTC Speed — each interpreting the essence of the Black Forest through distinctive design and materials.
Each model draws inspiration from the region’s deep tones and textures, brought to life through Mulliner’s craftsmanship. The ‘Scarab’ exterior paint echoes the forest’s rich green hues, while bespoke treadplates and a custom luggage set in Beluga with Pillar Box Red accents and embossed Black Forest Collection tags emphasize each car’s exclusivity.
Inside, warm leather upholstery, intricate contrast stitching, and open-pore walnut veneers evoke the natural beauty of the Black Forest. Details such as etched dashboard motifs depicting regional foliage and embroidered seat inserts in Fern Green and Pillar Box Red reinforce the collection’s sense of place and artistry.
The Bentayga S Black Edition stands as a confident expression of performance and design, combining striking presence with everyday versatility. Its exterior detailing, 22-inch black directional wheels, and bold stance capture Bentley’s sporting DNA. Beneath the bonnet, a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 delivers 542 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque, propelling the SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds — a balance of grand touring comfort and dynamic capability.
The Continental GT Speed continues Bentley’s grand touring legacy with emotional design, precision engineering, and advanced performance. Featuring Bentley’s new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain, the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 works in harmony with an electric motor to produce 762 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque. The result is a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 3.2 seconds, making it the most powerful Continental ever built.
The Continental GTC Speed extends the same hybrid performance to an open-top format, blending exhilarating open-air driving with the sophistication of Bentley craftsmanship. Sharing the same powertrain and enhanced chassis technology as its coupé counterpart, it delivers the most powerful and driver-focused interpretation of Bentley’s benchmark convertible Grand Tourer.
The Black Forest Regional Collection highlights Bentley’s enduring partnership with its Stuttgart retailer. Over the past 15 years, Bentley Stuttgart has established itself as a cornerstone of the brand’s presence in Germany, known for excellence in sales, service, and customer relationships. The new collection celebrates this legacy by connecting regional heritage with Bentley’s global craftsmanship.
Richard Leopold, Regional Director of Bentley Motors Europe, commented: “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. Each model in the collection embodies the values that define Bentley — innovation, individuality, and an enduring connection to our customers.”
Christian Wild, General Manager of Bentley Stuttgart, added: “This collection is very personal to us. 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 that feels uniquely theirs — cars that tell a story about where they come from and what inspires them.”
Handcrafted by Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house coachbuilding division, the Black Forest Regional Collection showcases the pinnacle of personalisation. Each model transforms local inspiration into tangible luxury, blending technical excellence with artistry. These special editions exemplify Bentley’s ongoing commitment to creating vehicles that reflect not only their owners’ individuality but also the cultures and landscapes that inspire them.
