Bentley Mulsanne Key Celebrates Its Centenary

Bentley's bespoke coachbuilding division, Mulliner, has designed an exclusive key case to mark the centennial of the company. Made from Dark Stained Burr Walnut and Piano Black veneer, it includes a flying "B" paperweight, a set of keys, and a brochure with never-before-seen 1930 8 Litre images.

It's the perfect present to welcome a new owner into their lavish vehicle.

Aesthetics

Bentley is a firm which takes its aesthetics seriously. This is evident in the precise positioning of its quilting and the use of leather derived from products of cattle and sustainable-managed forests, and the innovative patterns of its levers. As you approach a car like the Continental GT W12, its beautiful sculptural design is highlighted by carefully selected lighting.

The Continental GT is the most sophisticated open-top Bentley ever created. The rear tonneau of the Continental GT, for instance, featured the largest piece of dark-stained Burr Walnut veneer that was book-matched. Similarly, the electrically-operated glass sunroof and champagne cooler that incorporated hand-blown and hand-cut lead crystal bottles marked a new benchmark in luxury and innovation.

Bentley is the most sought-after automotive brand worldwide due to its unique design and craftsmanship. The company continues to push the boundaries with the latest technology and manufacturing techniques, such as the introduction of an instrument cluster with digital technology with an electric tilt-opening back glass sunroof, an artisan-made docking station for Apple iPads, and electrochromic 'smart' glass that can be changed from transparent to opaque with the push of one button.

Bentley celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2019, one hundred years after it was established. The marque, currently owned by Volkswagen independently following years of tense relations with BMW and Volkswagen, had planned a number of special launches and events to mark the occasion. Before pandemic planning took center stage, the marque held a series of special events and launches planned to celebrate the occasion.

Design

Bentley is known for its extravagant and lavish automobiles and even keys are made to stand out. The Bentayga key is made from sterling silver and has an enormous 'B' design which lets everyone know that you drive a Bentley. It also has the years 1919 and 2019 to celebrate the company's centenary.

Bentley Mulliner has redesigned and created the Mulsanne to become the ultimate Grand Touring vehicle. It has two opposing pairs of rear seats that were modelled on luxury private aircraft and provides passengers with unbeatable comfort and privacy. The unique heating and ventilation as well as air conditioning system was developed to give each passenger the ideal climate control settings.

Alongside a range of stylishly executed styling changes, the Mulsanne is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.75-litre W12 engine capable of producing 560bhp and 479lbft of torque. This incredibly powerful power is paired with a new suspension that offers Bentley's signature quiet ride.

In celebration of its Centenary, Bentley introduced a custom-designed specification known as the Centenary Specification for cars built in 2019. This includes contrast stitching and cross-stitching in Centenary Gold thread throughout the cabin. The Bentley Wings are embroidered with Centenary Gold on the headrests, seats and other areas of the car. This makes it more fun to celebrate. The Centenary Specification also includes a bespoke Bentley keycase, which completes the Bentley experience.

Bentley's distinctive design reflects the company's values, which include fine craftsmanship engineering expertise and modern technology. Over 4,000 people work at its Crewe headquarters, which is responsible for the development, design, and production of Bentley cars. They apply their skills that have been handed through generations to the latest automotive technologies. This is British manufacturing at its best.

Personalisation

Bentley's bespoke division, Mulliner, allows customers to create their own car. The customers sit at a set of pictures referred to as "mood stations" and pick a set of photos ranging from picturesque vistas to sporting events - that can inspire them to design their own. As each selection is made, a pattern will emerge which shows the model and color preferences of the customized Bentley.

The resulting configuration is then loaded onto individual R.F.I.D.-enabled keys that are then presented to the guests in a handmade key case. The keys can be fitted with Bentley Muliner Personalised welcome lamps that illuminate the way of the door opening with the owner's name or logo as they approach the car.

Bentley estimates that it takes about 500 man-hours to build and put together the Mulsanne. The unwillingness to embrace new technology is the key to this time-consuming effort. The Crewe factory workers do not employ a machine to place perfectly matched cross stitched leather seats. Instead, they do it by hand. And rather than letting the car's built in sensors guide it to perpendicular and parallel parking spaces the drivers must perform the task by hand.

Bentley showcased its Mulliner personalization capabilities in an exclusive Mulsanne W.O. Edition, that pays tribute to William Osler, the founder of Bentley.
