Bentley auctions 1st bespoke Bentayga EWB for charity

Bentley has placed the first bespoke Bentayga extended wheelbase (EWB) under the hammer. The proceeds, the Crewe-based carmaker said, will benefit the Naples Children and Education Foundation (NCEF).

The auction took place at this year’s Naples Winter Wine Festival.

“I’m extremely proud of Bentley Naples and our Mulliner team for creating this unique car to support a wonderful and worthy cause. Giving back and establishing purpose within the community are all part of our wider definition of sustainability,” said Bentley Americas President and Chief Executive Officer Christophe Georges.

The bespoke Bentayga EWB — crafted specifically for the Naples Winter Wine Festival — features a three-layer pearlescent Snow Quartz exterior paint. It is contrasted with the Blackline Specification and finished with 22-inch 10-spoke black painted and bright machined wheels.

Its interior comes with Amethyst detailing, which can be seen throughout the Mulliner White and Beluga Black cabin found on the gear lever, door pockets, piping, and stitching.

Mulliner’s additional loose rear cushions also take inspiration from the wine theme and are in Amethyst with white piping too.

Personalized Naples Winter Wine Festival tread plates add to the bespoke nature of the Bentayga. The cabin experience is enhanced with world-class leading audio from Naim accented by white speaker grilles.

Other notable interior appointments include the new Bentayga EWB Airline Seat Specification, which features 22 ways of adjustment, the world’s first auto climate sensing system, and advanced postural adjustment technology.

“We choose to support the Naples Winter Wine Festival because this event is one of the largest fundraisers in the country and all the donations raised stay in Collier County and go directly to the children that need it most. Also, NCEF supports so many different organizations, rather than just one. Over 50 different organizations have received grants, which is incredible. We love our SWFL community and want to give back in as many ways as we possibly can, so NCEF/NWWF is a great way to directly impact the lives of so many different people within the community. Their website reads that over 300,000 lives have been impacted since the festival has been implemented. We are helping to change the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and we hope to continue to partner with NCEF not only as a corporate partner but also in curating exciting lots for many years to come,” commented Bentley Naples Managing Partner Jason Reidel.
