Bentley Stuttgart celebrates its 15th anniversary with the exclusive Black Forest Regional Collection by Mulliner — a trio of handcrafted models inspired by the beauty and heritage of Germany’s legendary Schwarzwald region.
15 Years of Bentley Stuttgart: Where Luxury Meets Nature
Bentley has marked the 15th anniversary of Bentley Stuttgart, one of its most distinguished retailers in Germany, with a truly special collection — the Black Forest Regional Collection. Designed and hand-built by Mulliner, Bentley’s bespoke division, this limited series brings together the essence of the brand with the natural elegance and cultural identity of Germany’s Black Forest (Schwarzwald).
The Black Forest Collection includes three exclusive models that reinterpret the spirit of grand touring through the lens of nature and craftsmanship:
- Bentayga S Black Edition
- Continental GT Speed
- Continental GTC Speed
The exclusive event in Stuttgart brought together Bentley’s most loyal clients, collectors, and friends of the brand, celebrating 15 years of success while ushering in a new chapter of Bentley’s journey in Europe.
The Spirit of the Black Forest: Nature Reimagined in Craftsmanship
The Black Forest Collection is a showcase of Mulliner’s artisanal excellence — a seamless blend of natural inspiration and British luxury. The exterior is finished in a deep, sophisticated Scarab Green paint, echoing the lush tones of the Black Forest. Each car features a special edition luggage set and illuminated door sills engraved with the “Black Forest” insignia, underlining their bespoke nature.
Inside, open-pore walnut veneers, warm natural leather tones, and contrasting stitching bring the serene harmony of nature into the cabin. Intricate leaf motifs etched into the dashboard and green-red embroidered details on the seats pay homage to the region’s flora and cultural heritage.
Each detail is a tactile reminder of Bentley’s mastery in merging mechanical precision with artistic craftsmanship — transforming nature’s tranquility into a moving piece of luxury design.
Bentayga S Black Edition: Sporty DNA, Timeless Sophistication
The Bentayga S Black Edition represents the boldest expression of Bentley’s best-selling SUV. Powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivering 542 hp and 770 Nm of torque, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds.
The model’s aggressive stance is emphasized by 22-inch black alloy wheels, darkened exterior accents, and a commanding body design that reflects both performance and elegance. Inside, the Bentayga S combines athletic intent with ultimate comfort — a true showcase of Bentley’s dual personality: dynamic on the road, yet serene in motion.
This model stands as the perfect embodiment of how engineering precision and the colors of nature can coexist within the same masterpiece.
Continental GT Speed: The Pinnacle of Grand Touring
The Continental GT Speed continues Bentley’s grand touring legacy, now elevated by next-generation hybrid technology. Equipped with the brand’s new Ultra Performance Hybrid system, the GT Speed combines a 4.0-litre V8 engine with an advanced electric motor to produce an astonishing 762 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque.
The result is staggering performance: 0–100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. Yet beyond the numbers, the GT Speed represents Bentley’s shift toward sustainable high performance — proof that electrification and luxury can enhance, rather than compromise, one another.
The combination of raw power and sustainable engineering makes the GT Speed the most powerful Continental ever built, setting a new benchmark for the brand’s future grand tourers.
Continental GTC Speed: Power Meets Open-Air Elegance
The Continental GTC Speed, the convertible counterpart of the GT Speed, brings the same hybrid powertrain and advanced chassis systems into an open-top format. With its roof down, the GTC offers an unparalleled sensory experience — the sound of the powertrain blending with the open air and the scent of nature.
Every GTC Speed is meticulously handcrafted, offering unlimited personalization through Mulliner, from custom stitching to unique veneer selections. The model perfectly combines performance, sophistication, and the joy of open-air driving — transforming every journey into a grand touring experience.
15 Years of Craftsmanship and Partnership
The Black Forest Collection is more than a celebration of cars — it’s a symbol of Bentley Stuttgart’s 15-year partnership with Bentley Motors. Over the years, the Stuttgart dealership has evolved from a traditional showroom into a hub of luxury experiences, representing the brand’s philosophy of “extraordinary journeys” both on and off the road.
Richard Leopold, Bentley’s Regional Director for Europe, summarized the essence of the project:
“The Black Forest Collection reflects the perfect harmony between British craftsmanship and regional inspiration. This series embodies our vision to create truly personal expressions of luxury that connect our customers to their roots and their stories.”
The Intersection of Heritage and Innovation
Each model in the Black Forest Collection captures the balance between tradition and progress. Mulliner’s bespoke craftsmanship transforms regional inspiration into a form of modern artistry — fusing Bentley’s British heritage with the spirit of Germany’s natural landscapes.
From the hand-stitched interiors to the bespoke paint finishes, the collection serves as a reminder that luxury is not just about performance or prestige — it’s about storytelling, authenticity, and connection to place.
The Bentley Black Forest Regional Collection will be available exclusively through Bentley Stuttgart, with each car produced in extremely limited numbers.
Piston Kafalar Comment
The Black Forest Collection stands as a testament to Bentley’s philosophy: craftsmanship without compromise. It’s not just a celebration of a dealership milestone, but an example of how luxury brands can localize their identity while maintaining global appeal.
Each model — from the athletic Bentayga S to the elegant Continental GT and GTC — tells a story of nature meeting innovation, of regional heritage meeting British artistry. It’s Mulliner at its finest: personal, poetic, and timeless.
