Bentley has just revealed a one-off Continental GTC Azure Mulliner Qatar Edition. Within the latest Continental GTC lineup, the Azure sits above the standard GTC and below the Speed. The Azure focuses on comfort, long-distance usability, and refinement, making it the natural base for a location-specific commission like this one.
This car starts with a bespoke paint shade called Desert Sand. In strong daylight, it stays neutral and almost blends into the landscape. As the sun drops, the color warms noticeably, matching the Gulf’s late evening light. The brightwork and gold wheels almost give this spec a monochrome look, but the imposing grille and some piano black elements on the rear bumper serve as a contrast. Qatar Edition badges on the fender flares serve as a reminder that what you’re looking at is something rather special.
Inside, the Azure specification already gets you comfort-focused seats for extended drives, insulation tuned for heat management, and a multi-layer fabric roof that blocks the sun during the day and can be stowed away once the temperatures drop for an open-top driving experience. This particular Qatari commission, seen here, features plaid highlights on the headrests, further enhancing an already luxurious cabin.
This Qatar Edition also fits into a wider Mulliner push. Last year, Mulliner delivered several standout commissions, including the art-inspired Mulliner collection, the regional Mulliner Black Forest series, and the Ombré by Mulliner paint finish revealed at The Quail. Mulliner also introduced a bespoke animated Bentley Welcome Lamp, expanded interior material options, and honored three historic Bentley sedans with modern Mulliner tributes.
Seen in that context, this one-off GTC Azure is not decorative. It is a precise application of Bentley’s comfort-focused flagship convertible, filtered through Mulliner’s current bespoke capabilities and tuned to a specific place and time of day.
