Bentley Motors Commemorates Remembrance Day with Unique Bentayga EWB Mulliner
In a heartfelt tribute to the Armed Forces, Bentley Motors has unveiled a one-of-a-kind Bentayga EWB Mulliner for Remembrance Day, marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day. This bespoke vehicle, adorned with a poignant poppy-themed design, was revealed as part of Bentley's continued dedication to honoring military service and remembering the sacrifices made during one of history's most significant military events.
A Tribute on Wheels: The Remembrance Bentayga
Crafted by Bentley's skilled design team in collaboration with the BeReady network—a colleague-led initiative supporting veterans and reservists—the special edition Bentayga EWB Mulliner features a striking wrap of 80 poppies over a map of Northern France. This design not only celebrates the bravery of those who served during D-Day but also symbolizes the journey from England to Northern Europe, encapsulating a narrative of courage and commemoration.
The exterior of the Bentayga transforms into a moving tribute, with vibrant red poppies that stand out against the vehicle’s elegant lines, turning each journey into a public act of remembrance and respect. The design serves as a mobile memorial, reminding onlookers of the profound impacts of past sacrifices on our present and future.
Reflecting on History with Modern Craftsmanship
Robin Page, Director of Design at Bentley Motors, expressed his views on the project: "This Remembrance Car is not just a symbol of our collective memory but also a testament to the individual stories of bravery and sacrifice. It reflects our deep respect for history, while also looking forward to the future of design and innovation."
The interior of the vehicle mirrors the exterior's attention to detail, with bespoke features that enhance both comfort and aesthetic appeal, ensuring that the act of remembrance is woven into every aspect of its design.
Community Engagement and the Journey Ahead
The Bentayga EWB Mulliner will not remain stationary. Planned to traverse the UK, it starts its journey in Crewe, making stops at significant events, including the Race of Remembrance in Anglesey, where it will feature as the course car. This event, organized by Mission Motorsport, fosters a sense of community and shared remembrance, highlighting Bentley’s role in supporting not just luxury automotive culture but also community values.
James Lynam, Functional Project Manager at Bentley and co-chair of the BeReady network, remarked on the initiative: "With the 80th anniversary of D-Day, we aimed to craft a design that resonates with the histories and hearts of those who recognize the day’s significance. The Remembrance Car is a powerful emblem of our ongoing commitment to honouring those who have served."
