Bentley & Savile Row’s Huntsman Suit Up Cars In Designs Inspired By Tailoring

Bentley’s Bentayga range is as stylish as they come for luxury vehicles. However, bespoke liveries, plush interiors, and a stellar chassis may not be enough for someone looking for a ride fit for royalty.
Bentley’s oldest retailer, Jack Barclay, and one of Savile Row’s most iconic tailors, Huntsman, are stitching up two special-edition vehicles for the Savile Row Concours.
The cars are based on the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase Azure and the Continental GTC Speed, which Huntsman will reimagine into vehicles representative of its 174-year history of tailoring.
The Bentayga EWB Huntsman Eiditon has a Burgundy exterior, chrome accents, 22-inch wheels, and Huntsman Edition badges on its pillars. However, the garment maker’s true touch shines inside, with Huntsman tweed, and Damson and Portland leather blending together in the car’s upholstery. It can be seen through its cabin on the door pockets, stowage areas, gear stick, and grab handles.
On the other hand, the Continental GTC Huntsman Edition goes for a sleeker option with a grey satin paint job, black accents, and black 22-inch wheels. The Huntsman badge can, this time, be seen on the front fenders. Its interior carries through with its darkened colorway with Bentley’s Belug and Porpoise leather cast against Huntsman’s tweed.
The two cars showcased at the Savile Row Concours were one of five of each model, and customers can “influence many aspects” of the special-edition cars.
Of course, now that one has a Bentley outfitted in its tailored materials, it’s only fitting its driver has one to match as well. So with each vehicle comes a Huntsman jacket that will be fitted to each owner.
