Bentley has unveiled a limited-edition version of its 'Flying Spur Hybrid' line named the 'Odyssean Edition.' The Odyssean Edition Bentley features a specially designed interior that is made of eco-friendly and sustainable materials -- from the seats to the flooring.
The interior cabin features optional lambswool rug carpeting that is sustainably sourced. Several panels in the cabin are trimmed in a twee material that is spun specifically for use in Bentley vehicles. The luxury automaker opted to utilize these materials to shave down the amount of leather used in the cabin while promoting more sustainable vehicle practices. Not all of the leather is gone, though. The Odyssean Edition Bentley features select panels with 'Autumn' hide leather which has been used to ensure the long-term sustainability of those panels. These leather pieces are available in a multitude of color options from Beluga to Burnt Oak
The Flying Spur Hybrid Odyssean Edition is available in any color the customer desires, though there are six presets that Bentley has used to showcase the beauty of the vehicle. The interior of the vehicle also demonstrates the luxury quality of this vehicle, as the seats feature a lofted diamond pattern and designer finishes, ensuring that the vehicle's sustainability did not come at the cost of its luxury design.
