Bentley’s Design Services department has once again proven its expertise by designing a luxurious yacht interior inspired by the iconic Continental GT V8. Teaming up with Dutch manufacturer Contest Yachts, Bentley has expanded its horizons beyond car customization to create the interior of an impressive 18-meter yacht.
Named Contest 59 CS, the yacht’s interior exudes opulence with its red leather and beige linen accents. The design stays true to Bentley’s signature aesthetic, with quilted diamond-shaped patterns adorning the panels, boasting an impressive 712 diamond stitch points. Complementing the lavish interior, the exterior hull of the yacht boasts a striking deep blue shade. This color choice was a deliberate decision to harmonize with the owner’s Bentley Continental GT V8, showcasing a cohesive and stylish look.
