Bentley Korea unveiled Tuesday two limited edition Flying Spur luxury sedans only for the Korean market,.
They were created for customers under the guidance of Lee Sang-yup, Bentley Motors’ head of exterior and advanced design.
The black edition is a two-toned car themed after business suits, while the white edition has been inspired by white porcelain.
They are manufactured by Bentley’s special customized bespoke service Mulliner, where customers can choose up to 120,000 options including the color of the leather and stitches, and wheel hub shapes.
Calling them “the two most limited Bentleys in the world,” Lee said he wanted to represent the Korea culture where dynamic and static characteristics coexist, as well as the U.K. that incorporated the noble and commoner culture.
The company said the highest price of options ordered from the Mulliner service so far has reached 8.7 billion won, adding that the services will satisfy the refined tastes Korean customers prefers with its delicate handcraftsmanship.
Globally, just 5 percent of Bentley customers use the bespoke service, according to the company.
It said no Korean customer has ordered the car through this service.
The price of the black edition is 3.4 billion won and the price is 3.3 billion won for the white edition.
