Bentley presents three unique Bentayga Victoris SUVs with innovative gradient paint and bespoke features, raising $75,000 for Texas children's charities.

A bold philanthropic initiative by Bentley Dallas has brought to life three one-of-a-kind Bentayga Victoris vehicles, each representing a beacon of hope for children battling serious illnesses. Created in close collaboration with artist Stephen Selzler and Bentley’s bespoke division Mulliner, the cars were designed not only as automotive masterpieces but as emblems of resilience and charity. The net proceeds of $75,000 from their sale will benefit three Texas-based children’s medical institutions.

What sets the Victoris Bentaygas apart technically is their pioneering use of a dual-tone gradient paint technique, developed at Bentley’s Excellence Centre for Paint in Crewe, UK. Each body underwent over 70 hours of meticulous hand-spraying to achieve a seamless color fade, with precision masking ensuring a flawless transition between tones — accurate to within 2mm.

All three cars are based on the V8 Azure model and feature individual exterior and interior designs. The first sports a Candy over Cricketball red paint with a black and white cabin accented in Pillar Box Red. The second blends Moonbeam silver and Anthracite grey, paired with a Beluga and Saddle brown interior. The third exhibits a striking transition from Anthracite to Extreme Silver, with bespoke Cricketball and Beluga upholstery.

Stephen Selzler, the Dallas-based artist behind the visual identity of the Victoris series, is renowned for his work at the intersection of motorsport and visual arts. His creative vision, characterized by a refined sense of form and contrast, adds a layer of artistic storytelling to the vehicles.

Distinctive interior elements such as the Victoris pinstripe motif, embroidered headrests, and bespoke trim ensure these models are not only rare but deeply symbolic. As Hesham Algaghil, President of Avondale Dealerships, notes, “The message of Victoris is the triumph of resilience over adversity.”

While there are no confirmed plans for expanding the initiative beyond these three vehicles, the emotional impact and unique craftsmanship may well pave the way for future charitable collaborations within the Bentley brand.
