The Bentley Supersports has never needed much help getting noticed, but Mulliner has found a new way to pull attention before the engine even enters the conversation.
This latest personalised example brings a side-to-side colour fade to the Supersports, adding a more experimental visual language to Bentley’s performance grand tourer.
It’s the sort of treatment that sits neatly between motorsport reference and coachbuilt theatre, which is exactly where Mulliner tends to operate best.
At a glance
- Mulliner has created a Bentley Supersports with a dramatic colour fade running across the body.
- The finish transitions from Dragon Red II to Black Crystal, paired with an offset racing stripe and a matching two-tone cabin.
- The treatment forms part of Bentley’s expanding Mulliner personalisation programme, with themes including Dragon, Electric and Brodgar.
A Bentley first in side-to-side colour
The key move here is the fade itself, which runs from one side of the car to the other rather than following the more familiar front-to-rear gradient.
In this configuration, Dragon Red II shifts into Black Crystal, creating a visual pull toward the driver’s side.
It’s a clever use of colour because it doesn’t just decorate the car, it changes how the car reads from different angles.
From one side, the Supersports presents as a deep red performance coupe with obvious presence.
Move around it and the Black Crystal takes over, giving the car a darker, more technical edge.
The offset racing stripe adds another layer without making the treatment feel purely ornamental.
On a car like the Supersports, that matters, because the visual language needs to acknowledge performance without turning into costume.
Mulliner’s more assertive performance brief
Mulliner is often associated with fine material choices, bespoke colour palettes and subtle detailing, but this Supersports shows a louder side of the division.
The finish is bold by Bentley standards, yet it still feels controlled because the colour transition has a clear direction and purpose.
Rather than simply applying a dramatic paint effect, Mulliner has used the fade to frame the driver as the focal point.
That idea is reinforced by the racing stripe, which breaks the symmetry and gives the car a more dynamic stance even at rest.
The themes attached to this treatment, including Dragon, Electric and Brodgar, suggest Bentley is giving clients more defined creative starting points rather than asking them to build every decision from scratch.
For buyers who want a Supersports with a strong identity but still within the Bentley world, that’s a useful middle ground.
The cabin follows the exterior story
Inside, the same two-tone thinking continues, with contrasting colours arranged to mirror the exterior treatment.
The effect is not just decorative, because the cabin layout is intended to place the driver at the centre of the experience.
That approach suits the Supersports name, which has always carried a more focused character within Bentley’s grand touring universe.
Still, this is not a stripped-out interpretation of performance.
The cabin remains recognisably Bentley, with rich materials, careful stitching and the kind of detail work expected from Mulliner.
The interesting balance is between theatre and restraint.
There’s enough contrast to feel special, but the execution keeps the car within the luxury performance space rather than pushing it into novelty.

This Supersports works because it doesn’t treat personalisation as an afterthought.
The colour fade, stripe and interior concept all point in the same direction, giving the car a visual identity that feels deliberately composed rather than simply optioned.
For Bentley clients who want performance with a more individual presence, Mulliner has made the Supersports hard to ignore for reasons that go well beyond speed.
