The world of luxury and philanthropy came together last weekend, as the first-ever custom Bentley Bentayga EWB was sold at the Naples Winter Wine Festival in Florida, with the proceeds going to support underprivileged children in Collier County.
A Masterpiece on Four Wheels
Designed specifically for the Naples Winter Wine Festival, the Bentayga EWB boasts a sleek and sophisticated design, with three layers of Snow Quartz paint, black detailing, and 22-inch rims with ten spokes in a black finish.
The interior is just as striking, with Amethyst accents on the gear lever, door panels, stitching, and other details, as well as purple cushions on the back seats. The winter festival theme is reflected in the tire treads, while the interior features Naim speakers with white grills.
Giving Back with Style
The sale of the Bentayga EWB was a true showcase of Bentley's commitment to sustainability and community engagement, as stated by Christophe Georges, President and CEO of Bentley Americas: “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 is all part of our wider definition of sustainability”. The winning bidder of the car will not only get to enjoy a one-of-a-kind luxury SUV, but also the opportunity to participate in the British Extraordinary Journey program, including a visit to the Bentley plant in Crewe, a tour of Scotland, and a whiskey tasting at the Macallan estate.
Paul Hills, NCEF's Immediate Past Chair, expressed his excitement about the successful auction: “We are thrilled to have this extraordinary vehicle auctioned at this year’s Naples Winter Wine Festival, helping to raise funds benefitting at-risk and underprivileged children in our community.
This unique, one-of-a-kind car is truly stunning and builds upon our tremendous partnership with Bentley as an exceptional luxury automaker and the Naples Winter Wine Festival as one of the world’s top charity wine auctions”.
