Bentley unveils Nicolaus Copernicus-inspired luxury car collection
Bentley, in collaboration with its Mulliner personalization division and its Polish dealership, has unveiled the Nicolaus Copernicus Collection. This ultra-exclusive series consists of only three vehicles inspired by the work of the Polish astronomer and mathematician.
The collection features three distinct models based on the Continental GT S and GTC S:
• The Sun: A Continental GTC S convertible in Manuka Orangena, featuring orange and grey leather with Copper Stone accents. • The Earth: A Continental GT S coupe in Nebula Blue, with an interior utilizing Imperial Blue and Aegean Blue leather. • The Moon: A Continental GT S coupe in Moonstruck Silver, designed to simulate the lunar surface with a dark Beluga interior and Ice leather contrasts.
A unifying design element is the ‘Copernicus Diagram,’ a graphic representation of the eight planets' orbits, which is engraved on the central consoles. The interiors also incorporate engravings inspired by illustrations from Copernicus’s original manuscript, ‘De revolutionibus orbium coelestium’.
