Peak Bentley

The Bentayga Mulliner Aoraki

Commissioned by Bentley Auckland, the Bentayga Mulliner Aoraki is a bespoke creation like no other – a tribute to our tallest peak, Aoraki.

 

This one-of-one masterpiece is the first Bentley ever inspired by Aotearoa, curated by Mulliner, Bentley’s renowned bespoke division.

 

The design brings New Zealand’s breathtaking landscape to life through exquisite details such as contrasting hand-stitched Bentley emblems and across-the-seat quilting in a negative perforation pattern – a world-first for Mulliner.

 

Marking its deep connection to the land, the Bentley Azure Aoraki proudly displays the precise coordinates of Aoraki (43.5950°S, 170.1418°E), embossed on the dashboard fascia and satin treadplates – a striking, personal homage to the mountain’s 3,724-metre summit.

 

The idea for the Aoraki Edition was born during Bentley’s ‘Extraordinary Journeys’ event in 2023. On day three, guests arrived by helicopter at a remote high-country station in Central Otago. There, surrounded by panoramic alpine views, a conversation unfolded between international and local guests – including Bentley New Zealand general manager Steve Fulks – about creating a vehicle as unforgettable as the landscape itself.

Mulliner’s design team responded with a colour palette that captures the essence of our nation’s natural beauty. The Anthracite over Cyprus duo-tone exterior evokes the dramatic hues of alpine rock above the tree line in the Southern Alps. Khamun hand-painted pinstriping, part of the Carbon Fibre Styling Specification, nods to the golden tussock grasslands that stretch across Otago’s high plateaus.

 

Inside, the craftsmanship is equally evocative. Open Pore Galaxy Stone decorates the centre console, while rich ‘Kea Green’ leather accents on the grab handles and steering wheel’s six o’clock spoke reference the olive-emerald feathers of our mischievous alpine parrot. Together with Anthracite and Khamun tones, the cabin reflects the deep greens and earthy hues of Fiordland National Park.

 

Built for both urban luxury and backcountry adventure, the Bentayga Mulliner Aoraki comes equipped with the Touring Specification and All Terrain Specification – offering advanced features for any road condition. A bespoke, colour-matched Bentley Roof Box adds extra storage, while 22-inch Azure wheels in Beluga Gloss with Cyprus pockets ensure both performance and elegance.

 

Passenger comfort is enhanced by rear acoustic privacy glass, mood lighting, and a Bang & Olufsen for Bentley sound system – creating a truly cloud-kissing cabin experience.
