This year, Bentley turns 100 years old. The centurion is not only relevant in today’s luxury market – it remains a leader in the industry. Renowned for its ultra-opulent, painstakingly crafted vehicles and limitless bespoke options, the iconic brand is revered by discriminating owners. The new Mulsanne W.O. Edition by Mulliner will celebrate this milestone – but, fittingly, only 100 models will be sold.
Happy Birthday, Bentley
The new Mulsanne will honor founder Walter Owen Bentley, and specifically, his personal vehicle, the 1930 8 Litre. The Mulsanne W.O. Edition by Mulliner is crafted by Bentley’s personalization department and will delight 100 lucky owners with special touches, including:
- A piece of the crankshaft from W.O. Bentley’s 8 Litre (it will be placed in the rear armrest – just below the custom crafted whiskey glasses).
- Illuminated cocktail cabinet with marquetry scene of the 8 Litre’s front grille and headlight.
- Beluga leather.
- Burr Walnut wood veneer.
- Lambswool rugs.
- Chrome hood strip.
- Available chrome radiator shell and grille.
- W.O. Bentley signature badge on the lower bumper.
- Special centenary badging on the wheel centers and door treadplates.
- Onyx black exterior, with the option to specify alternative colors.
This automaker has a fascinating history and it is only fitting that the new Mulsanne take its place among the best and brightest Bentley cars. The original 8 Litre was the last car that W.O. Bentley designed for the marque. The timing was not optimal as it rolled out just before the start of the Great Depression. W.O. was forced to sell it a year later, and Bentley was eventually taken over by Rolls-Royce.
Still, Bentley remains proudly, undeniably Bentley. The quality, the craftsmanship, the extra care, attention, and love put into each vehicle is unmistakable. If you are not among the 100 to enjoy the limited edition Mulsanne, don’t worry. You can visit Bentley Palm Beach and explore other fantastic Bentley cars. There is no compromise when it comes this leading luxury brand!
