Everything's gone green for this one-off Bentley.

BENTLEY Motors is rolling a green-themed Bentayga Hybrid off its production line for a Chinese customer.

The one-off vehicle is being showcased at the Shanghai Motor Show next month and boasts an exterior finished in Viridian, a dark emerald hue, while wheel spokes have been matched with the same hue. Its bespoke interior includes Cumbrian Green hide.

The Bentayga Hybrid is one of two hybrid models being launched in 2021.

The car maker says that in Chinese culture the colour green represents purity, regeneration, hope, harmony and growth and that the shades of green commissioned by the customer were inspired by the British countryside, in particular the Lake District.
