Bespoke Bentley Bacalar receives matching private jet and helicopter

Flexjet, a private aviation company has recently overhauled two aircraft to receive the same colour scheme and details as the bespoke Bentley Bacalar, based on the same spec model of the company owner.

Working alongside Bentley Mulliner Design, Kenn Ricci commissioned the two aircraft to be brought to life using his own bespoke Bentley Bacalar as inspiration. The Julep finished exterior of the highly limited edition British coupe looks perfectly natural alongside both the Gulf Stream G650 and Sikorsky S-76 helicopter of Flexjet, a private aviation company owned by Ricci.

Of only 12 models ever produced, Ricci decided to add some more exclusivity to his if the 22-inch tri-colour wheels, Satin Bronze exterior brightwork and satin carbon fibre accents were not enough. The exterior of the aircraft includes the same Julep tinge in their liveries while the inside of both has custom seats that incorporate the same styling of the bespoke Bentley Bacalar. This includes wood veneer and Satin Bacalar Bronze fittings contrasting the organic material.

The runway model includes the venerable 6,0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 motor underneath the long bonnet. Good for 650 kW and 900 N.m of torque which can propel the opulent cruiser onto 322 km/h. It may not be as fast as its air-capable counterparts but it is likely quicker off the line, with a 0-100 km/h sprint time of only 3,5 seconds.

Mulliner is continuingly moving into custom projects like this and has enjoyed a healthy injection of business for truly personalised vehicles at whopping prices.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
