They are united by the Black Sapphire exterior color, chosen for its resemblance to the waters of the Bosphorus Strait, as well as Beluga leather, Imperial Blue and quartzite slate interior trim.

Modern Istanbul combines the richness of history and culture, but at the same time keeps up with the times and tries to keep up with other world capitals. This is what the limited edition Continental GT Azure V8, Flying Spur Azure V8 and Bentayga Azure V8 are dedicated to, uniting under the general name Istanbul Silhouette Collection. All cars in the series are painted with Black Sapphire enamel, symbolizing the waters of the Bosphorus Strait. But for accents, the British used the shade Dragonfly Blue, since it is similar to the color of the reflected sky.

The limited edition salon is decorated with embroidery with images of the Galata Tower and the famous bridges of Istanbul. Two colors of leather – Beluga and Imperial Blue, chosen for their resemblance to the tiles on the roof of the Blue Mosque – are adjacent to decorative Piano Imperial Blue inlays made of natural wood and quartzite slate. Each car comes with a key holder specially created for the series. This is a kind of reminder of the special status and city that served as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the Mulliner atelier.
