Bentley has just unveiled a new bespoke and distinctive Flying Spur Hybrid model curated by The Surgeon. The model was launched at Bentley’s evening event during Art Basel Miami following the launch of a limited run of Bentley-inspired sneakers by Dominic Ciambrone, aka “The Surgeon”.
The Surgeon is a leader in the custom-made footwear industry. His inspiration to create a limited edition ten pair of bespoke trainers began after his visit to Bentley’s Mulliner division in early 2022. The trainers feature Bentley artisan signatures such as diamond quilting and cross stitching, as well as his signature “Surgeon” skull and cross stitch logo Scalpel Monogram.
Based on Bentley’s new Flying-Spur hybrid, the sneakers were the springboard for a second collaboration. The new model features a 2.9-litre V6 engine combined with a powerful electric motor and illustrates the next step in Bentley’s Beyond 100 journey towards electrified luxury in the future.
Mulliner Blackline specification replaces the polished chrome exterior with all-black trim, styling specs for the model include a carbon fiber front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser and rear spoiler, and the new model’s exterior has been finished in a two-tone paint finish Anthracite over anthracite satin to create an expression of strength and confidence.
The 22-inch Satin Anthracite wheels feature a Satin Bronze pinstripe around the outer rim, the Surgeon badging on the D-pillars and the Hybrid badging on the fenders were also finished in the same paint job, and the The finishing touch is provided by an illuminated Flying B radiator mascot in glossy black.
The new model features “The Surgeon” motif on the outer rocker panel, personal “Never Stop” philosophy on the inner door sill and bespoke LED welcome lamps that project the skull and crossbones logo onto the ground to show your… to guide entry. The interior of the Flying Spur Hybrid consists of canvas on the seats, doors and lower trim and Beluga on the top of the trim, center console and rear parcel shelf.
In addition, the interior also features contrasting bronze stitching on the seats and seat piping, cross-stitch pattern on the steering wheel, “Surgeon” naming style in bronze on the seats above the headrests, walnut veneer adorns the cabin, Surgeon logo overlaid in chrome on the rear cup holder , walnut inserts on the rear doors in 3D diamond pattern and Bentley rotary display in the center of the instrument panel offering a choice of three faces ie analogue dials, digital display or walnut veneer.
