The unique design 20-inch wheels (with optional 21-inch) to strengthen the Bentley Mulsanne powerful, sporty stance.

Design Director Dirk van Braeckel explains the inspiration behind the distinctive appearance Bentley Mulsanne, "the opportunity to design a new Bentley flagship is something effective for the few designers The team wanted to create a sculpted shape that blends classic cues with Bentley heritage modern lines that allow the Brand is a winner, confident in the 21 century .. "

The body is produced in a new manufacturing facility in Bentley headquarters in Crewe, where traditional techniques of metals, developed over six decades, are still widely used in the nine weeks of the construction process. It is the opposite of volume production cars built ... but the very embodiment of Bentley.

The rear screen, for example, is fully enclosed by the body. This provides a smooth, flawless line to the rear of the car that complements beautifully shaped D-pillars - whose complex curves can be created by skilled coach builders. All welds done by hand in the construction Bentley Mulsanne and all panel joints are welded by hand. These further improve the cut "to the look solid" and lead to a very stiff body.

The complex shape of the aluminum front wings, impossible to achieve with conventional techniques of pressing, superforming is created using a technology usually reserved for the aerospace industry. This also makes the wings lighter, stiffer and offers an excellent definition of the surface. Other lightweight materials such as composite trunk lid are used to eliminate it as much as possible without compromising quality.

New construction techniques for designers could also include details such as "floating" elliptical LED tail lights, which identifies the echo the shape of the exhaust.

To accentuate the beauty of the body, the Bentley Mulsanne features' brightware "exclusively in polished stainless steel, including COVERS threshold and the doors of the womb.

Similar objectives have been together, and the level of sophistication of the activities of all control mechanisms. The result is a handcrafted design that fully reflects the traditional values ​​of the Bentley, executed to the highest possible standards, which allow customers to customize their cars to their specific needs.

As head of Interior Design, Robin Page said: "More than 170 hours - almost half of the entire construction process - is in the interior of the craft of Bentley at Crewe new Bentley Mulsanne road work is the opposite of mass production - where we started. others stop. "

The use of wood and skins, leather has increased significantly to create a refined and luxurious interior. While classic design features, such as bulls eye air vents (now also mounted in the rear compartment), high quality mirror-matched veneers, leather and hand-finished stainless steel are retained, mixed with new keys such as crystal switches.

The cabin is fully enclosed in a "ring of wood", with a dashboard panel Waistrail uninterrupted wood adorned the Bentley Mulsanne. Investing dial needles in the instrument panel is reminiscent of Bentley first, while the complete dashboard and console design is a subtle reminder of the reason Bentley wings.

A veneer takes two weeks to turn from a crude mound a complete set of matching mirror, well polished leaves.

Bentley's engineers have been three goals for the engine Bentley Mulsanne:

Very easy to produce low-end torque, which customers expect from a great Bentley
