As a challenging year comes to a close, Santa Claus has his task cut out. With an unprecedented number of people around the world in need of some Christmas cheer, an upgraded sleigh would definitely come handy. Knowing this, Bentley has created a one-off, festive Flying Spur V8 called the ‘Reindeer Eight’. Image Credit: Supplied

The ‘Reindeer Eight’ is finished in deep red Cricket Bauble paint finish, a unique shade created for Santa based on Cricket Ball which is available as one of the 62 shades offered by the Extended Range. Image Credit: Supplied

Occupying a position of prominence up front is a gold three-dimensional printed reindeer that replaces the Flying B mascot, and the V8 badges on the flanks have been replaced by a special ‘Reindeer Eight’ badge. Image Credit: Supplied

A gold styling specification has been included, comprising a carbon diffuser to the front and rear bumper, carbon side sills and a boot lid spoiler – for maximum aerodynamic performance at cruising altitude. The Mulliner Driving Specification with 22in golden wheels and diamond finish, representing the snow peaks crossed, completes the exterior theme. Given the cold climate of Santa’s primary residence, all-season tyres have been fitted! Image Credit: Supplied

The cabin gets a monotone Cricket Bauble interior with gold personalised embroidery and hand cross-stitching, including Santa’s name stitched into the driver’s seat and that of his ‘wife’ alongside. At Mulliner’s suggestion, the Grand Black veneer displays a North Pole winter night scene with inlays to fascias and door waistrails to depict the end of the night’s journey. Image Credit: Supplied
