The Continental GT, for example, is available with seven different wood species – either as a single finish or paired with Grand Black as a dual finish. Additionally, through Bentley Mulliner’s Extended Veneer option, any two species of wood can be combined in a dual finish. For those customers wanting to move away from traditional lacquered wood veneer, Bentley also offers a number of veneer families.

Bentley says the shaping and application of ethically sourced, sustainable wood veneer to the interiors of its cars has been recognised as industry-leading in the recent years. It adds that shaping and polishing wood veneer to tolerances measured in tenths of a millimetre bring an intricate, beautiful element of natural luxury to the cabin.

The veneer options can be classified as Stone Veneers, Piano Painted Veneers, Open-Pore Veneers and Technical Finishes. The Stone Veneers use stones formed over 200 million years ago which can be made into just 0.1mm thick sheets. These veneers feature a natural ‘open pore’ finish with a stone texture that one can feel as well as see.

Piano Painted Veneers can add a splash of colour to the dashboards. These veneers add an ultra-modern look to the cabin that complements the wide range of interior hide options available. Open-Pore Veneers can be used if a customer wants to avoid the gloss of full lacquer. Liquid Amber, Dark Burr Walnut and Tamo Ash veneers are all available in an open-pore finish.
In a technical finish veneer, high-gloss carbon fibre replaces the veneer panels to add a contemporary, technical and sporty feel to the interior. An optic resin process enhances the 3D appearance of the carbon fibre weave to maximum effect, providing a seamless geometric surface flowing around the cockpit from one door to the other.
