Vehicle Description
Champion Motors International is proud to present this Bentley
Mulsanne Mulliner done in Granite Metallic exterior with Newmarket
Tan interior Driving Specification the Mulsanne is a pure example
of the Grand Touring Bentley combining coach-built elegance and
hand crafted luxury with immense power and sportiness that together
offer the world's most exclusive driving experience. It is a luxury
car that makes the joy of driving its central focus. In an era of
mass production, it stands at the pinnacle of British luxury
motoring. With a 0-60 mph sprint time of just 5.1 seconds (0-100
km/h in 5.3 seconds) and a top speed of 184 mph (296 km/h) the 505
bhp (512 PS/377 kw) Mulsanne has always offered thunderous levels
of performance for an ultra-luxury saloon. Now, for customers
seeking an even sportier look, feel and character to their
Mulsanne, Bentley is introducing the Mulliner Driving
Specification. The Mulsanne's beautifully balanced proportions
convey a unique sense of dynamism and movement. These are
reinforced by muscular haunches and sharply sculpted, gracefully
flowing lines, hinting at the phenomenal levels of power and torque
that are in reserve at all times. For the Mulliner Driving
Specification, new 21-inch, light aluminum alloy wheels with
race-derived, titanium fasteners, bright-finished rims and 265/40
ZR21 tires, underscore the Mulsanne's potent yet elegant stance
while providing even more dynamic handling. Available in both
painted and polished finishes, the 2-piece wheels are exclusive to
the Mulsanne Mulliner Driving Specification and are also compatible
with Bentley's optional self-leveling wheel badges. The Mulsanne
Mulliner Driving Specification also has a unique design language
which underscores its sporting character, setting it apart from
other Bentleys. The sporting motif is emphasized by a pair of
sweeping wing vents made from cast, polished stainless steel. The
vents cleverly emulate Bentley's iconic 'Flying B' emblem which is
engraved with the Mulliner script. The flowing appearance
accentuates the impression of speed and movement and the black
matrix grille integrated into the design provides an attractive
contrast to the polished stainless steel. For the new sportier
Mulsanne, the Drive Dynamics Control system, which allows
suspension and steering systems to be tuned to a preferred driving
style, now has a unique 'Sport' setting. Operated by the rotary
switch mounted next to the gearshift selector, the new 'Sport'
settings provide enhanced grip, body control and steering accuracy
without compromising ride comfort Inside the Mulsanne's sumptuous
cabin Bentley's styling team have created a bespoke, driver-focused
look and feel for the Mulliner Driving Specification. In keeping
with the tradition of sporting Bentleys, the leather hide on the
front and rear seats and door casings features an intricate Diamond
Quilting pattern, complemented by an indented leather headlining. A
new and bespoke hide perforation process, developed specifically
for the Mulsanne Mulliner Driving Specification, produces
perforations in exact diamond shapes with non-perforated
'tramlines' in between. This allows Bentley's seamstresses to
produce perfect stitching every time without risk of distortion and
means that it can now be combined with the optional seat
ventilation system. Throughout the cabin, Crewe's craftsmen and
women have ensured that even purely functional controls are
beautifully executed. The unique 'knurled' or 'coined' surface
finish of the cool-metal interior door handles, 'Organ Stop' air
ventilation controls and gear lever provide a highly tactile
experience while giving extra grip. The leather gear lever is also
hand-finished with a Baseball-style cross stitch - another example
of Bentley's famed attention to detail For confident, spirited
driving, the accelerator and brake pedals of the Mulliner Driving
Specification are made from drilled alloy. Beautifully crafted,
each one the raised grips on the pedals is individually polished.
As a finishing touch to the cabin, Mulliner tread plate plaques are
applied to the vertical surface of the driver and front passenger
door sills. In common with all Mulsannes, customers of the Mulliner
Driving Specification have the opportunity to create a truly
bespoke car from a palette of over 100 paint colors, a virtually
limitless choice of unbleached premium quality veneers (with two
marquetry options) and a selection of 22 leather hides Commenting
on the new Mulsanne Mulliner Driving Specification, Alasdair
Stewart, Bentley's Member of the Board for Sales and Marketing: The
Mulsanne represents the pinnacle of British motoring with
unrivalled luxury and effortless performance. Now, the distinctly
sporting accent of the new Mulliner Driving Specification provides
an even greater degree of driving enjoyment without compromising
the Mulsanne's legendary comfort and refinement. Exquisite bottle
cooler and sunroof options introduced for all Mulsannes In addition
to the new Mulliner Driving Specification, Bentley is announcing
enhancements to the specification of the Mulsanne's optional
feature specification. All Mulsanne models may now be specified
with an exquisitely detailed, Bentley-designed, luxury bottle
cooler and rear cabin storage area with space for two full-size
Champagne bottles in a canted position, allowing opened bottles to
be placed back in the cooler. With one touch of a button, the
frosted glass door quietly slides open to reveal three hand-blown
and hand-cut lead crystal champagne flutes, displayed beautifully
by the white LED accent lighting. These flutes have been
exclusively created for Bentley by the renowned British designer,
David Redman of London and echo the racing spoke design of the
Mulsanne's 21' 5-spoke Sports alloy wheel. The flutes can be placed
in the bespoke-design bright chrome holders that deploy from the
centre seat cushion. These also adapt cleverly to work as normal
cup holders when required. As is traditional at Bentley, the bottle
cooler and flute holders are discreetly concealed when not in use
and the elegant design of the cooling system means that no boot
space is compromised. The cabin of the Mulsanne is whisper-quiet,
utilizing the latest double-glazing and sound-proofing technologies
to isolate it from the hectic world. However, should you want to
let the outside in, there is now the option of a large
tilt-opening, tinted glass sunroof in the front cabin. It floods
the cabin with light and gives an extra dimension of space,
providing additional ventilation while avoiding the security risk
of open windows. The ultra-slim sunroof mechanism retains the
Mulsanes fast, sweeping roof profile with negligible effect on
cabin headroom. To provide welcome shade on the hottest days, a
color-matched Alcantara blind closes quietly at the touch of a
button.
