- Bentley Mulliner reveals a side-to-side fading paint theme for the Supersports.
- Buyers can choose between the Dragon, Electric, and Brodgar themes.
- The ultra-exclusive model will debut at the Goodwood FOS later this week.
The Bentley Supersports is the most hardcore version of the Continental GT, built around a non-electrified twin-turbo V8 sending power only to the rear axle, in a sharper chassis setup, and a capped production run of just 500 units. For buyers who want something rarer still, Mulliner has unveiled a new “Design Theme” wrapped in an asymmetric livery that leans heavily into Mansory territory.
Rather than the usual bi-tone approach that splits a car horizontally or lays down stripes, the bespoke program runs a gradient across the width of the body. In the example shown here, the driver’s side wears a dark Black Crystal tone that bleeds into a vivid Dragon Red on the passenger side.

The special Supersports also features an off-center red stripe running front to back, aligned with the passenger seat and offsetting the gradient on the driver’s side. Additional exterior accents include a red number eight on the grille and red pinstripes on the carbon fiber aero components.
The asymmetry carries into the two-seat cabin, this time calling to mind the Fiat 500 RED Edition. The driver’s seat is trimmed in Hotspur red, while the passenger’s seat gets a more discreet black Beluga. The interior comes in Full Leather trim with a Supersports-specific pattern on the doors and seats.

Beyond the pictured Dragon theme, Bentley Mulliner has two more configurations. The Electric theme pairs Electric Blue and Dark Sapphire outside with Klein Blu and Imperial Blue inside. The more subtle Brodgar theme matches Pale Brodgar and Brodgar bodywork with a Camel and Beluga interior.
Buyers after something else can go further still, with the company inviting prospective customers to contact their Bentley retailers about alternative or bespoke finishes.
An Asymmetric Interior Too
The powertrain carries over unchanged, with the non-electrified twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 producing 657 hp (490 kW / 666 PS) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. The engine is mated to an upgraded eight-speed dual-clutch automatic, sending power to the rear wheels. The Supersports tips the scales at 4,407 lbs (1,999 kg), making it the lightest road-going Bentley in 85 years.
The Bentley Mulliner Supersports Design Theme will make its public debut at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. The company didn’t reveal the cost of the optional treatment, which likely commands a hefty premium over the standard Supersports that starts at over $486,000.
