Released in March 2024 to mark International Women's Day and Women's History Month, the three Bentaygas have special specifications to celebrate the famous 'Bentley Girls' — Mary Petre Bruce, Dorothy Paget and Diana Barnato Walker.

Naturally, the commemorative Bentley SUVs were designed by two of the automaker's female designers — Emma Carruthers and Georgia Gough. 

The unique design cues they created for the cars pay tribute to the 'Bentley Girls', who contributed to the 105-year Bentley brand story alongside the 'Bentley Boys' who set the pace in motor races. 

'Bentley Girl' Mary Petre Bruce was a pace-setter in her own way. She drove a 4½ Litre Bentley in France for 24 hours on 6 June 1929 to capture the world record for single-handed driving.

It was her first time driving a Bentley and she had to borrow cushions from the official timekeepers so she could reach the pedals. Amazingly, she covered 3,482 kilometres in the 24-hour record attempt under difficult driving conditions and averaged 143km/h.

The Mary Petre Bruce Bentayga Azure features Parson Green Pearlescent Paint with matching heritage upholstery, vertical fluted upper-seat quilting and doorcards, 24-karat gold organ stops, mother-of-pearl crossbanded veneer, a chequered-flag D-pillar badge, and a marquetry pattern showing the number plate of the car she drove, "YV 7263".
