The Shoe Surgeon, Dominic Cimabrone works in collaboration with Bentley on a new design of the Flying Spur. It is a one-of-one car that made its debut during Art Basel Miami. The car has a modern look and is complete with a matte finish throughout the hybrid design.

Additionally, it has pinstripe piping in satin bronze that surrounds the car to elevate the duotone paint job of Anthracite over the Anthracite Satin. The exterior has the same satin bronze design with bespoke stitching, embroidery, as well as 3D diamond quilting. As a nod to the Shoe Surgeon, he adds his logo on the car, which is a skull emblem. It can be seen on the headrests and the veneer wood panels.
