Bentley Mulsanne Key Celebrates Its Centenary Bentley's custom coachbuilding division, Mulliner, has designed an exclusive key case to commemorate the brand's centennial. It is constructed of Dark stained Walnut with Piano Black Veneer and includes the flying “B” paperweight, keys, and a booklet featuring never-before-seen 1930s 8 Litre images. This is the perfect way to greet a new vehicle owner. Aesthetics Bentley is a brand that takes its aesthetics seriously. This is evident in the precise positioning of its quilting as well as the use of leather that is made from products of cattle and sustainable-managed forests, as well as the unique patterns of its levers. A car like the Continental GT W12 beckons as you drive by and showcases its stunning sculptural design and power with carefully selected lighting. The Continental GT is the most sophisticated open-top Bentley ever designed. The rear tonneau on the Continental GT, for example was the largest piece ever 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 brand in the automotive industry in the world because of its bespoke 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 that is digital as well as an electric tilt-opening rear glass sunroof, an artisan-made docking station for Apple iPads, and electrochromic smart glass that can be changed from transparent to opaque by pressing the button. A century since its founding, Bentley – now under sole Volkswagen ownership after years of fighting with BMW it celebrated its centenary in the year 2019. Before the pandemic planning took the spotlight, the marque had a range of special events and launches planned to commemorate this historic occasion. Design Bentley is known as a premium car manufacturer that makes ostentatious and luxurious cars. But even keys stand out. The Bentayga Key is made of sterling silver, and has a large B' logo to signal to everyone that you're driving a Bentley. The key is also embossed with the dates 1919 and 2019 to commemorate the company's centennial. The Mulsanne was redesigned and redeveloped by Bentley Mulliner to become the ultimate Grand Touring car. It features two opposing sets of rear seats that were modelled on luxury private aircraft offering passengers unbeatable comfort and privacy. The customized heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system was created to give each passenger the perfect temperature control. The Mulsanne features a twin turbocharged 6.75 litre W12 engine that produces 560bhp and 479lb-ft torque. This prodigious power is enhanced by a new suspension architecture that delivers Bentley's hushed, quiet ride. Bentley has released a special specification for cars manufactured after the year 2019 in order to celebrate its centenary. This is known as the Centenary Specification. This includes cross-stitching and contrast stitching in Centenary Gold thread throughout the cabin. The Bentley Wings on the headrests and seats are embroidered with Centenary Gold, adding to the feeling of celebration. The Centenary Specification also includes a custom Bentley keycase, which completes the Bentley experience. Function The Bentley Mulsanne Key comes with two buttons one of which opens the trunk, and the second which starts the vehicle. The key also has a switch for turning on the parking brake. There is a knob that can fold and unfold the mirrors while parking in tight spaces. Utilizing this feature can aid you in getting in and out of the car more quickly. TheKeyLab takes about two days to create. The key is cut by hand, shaped, stitched after which it is sealed and polished to produce a premium result. It is lightweight and durable and fits the Bentley key perfectly. Its design is similar with the Volkswagen Phaeton's big car key, however it feels more heavy and premium. It is also equipped with Secure-A-Key which can help prevent theft of keys that are keyless. The device is inserted into the remote-control fob, and is disabled in the event that the key isn't used for a few minutes. It blocks thieves from transmitting the key's frequency to other devices which will allow the key to be opened and start the vehicle. Bentley's distinctive design reflects the company's values of excellence in craftsmanship, engineering expertise, and cutting-edge technology. More than 4,000 employees work at its Crewe headquarters, responsible for the development, design, and production of Bentley cars. These workers apply the skills that have been handed through generations to the latest automotive technology. This is British manufacturing at its best. Personalisation Bentley's Mulliner division allows customers to design their car. The “mood station” lets customers pick images that inspire them. These can be anything from picturesque vistas to sporting events. As each selection is made, a pattern will emerge, which reveals the models and colors of the customized Bentley. The resulting configuration is saved to individual R.F.I.D.-enabled keys which are presented to the guests in a custom key case. Keys can be adorned with Bentley Muliner Personalised welcome lamps that illuminate the pathway of the door's opening. They are adorned with the owner's name or logo as they approach the car. Bentley claims it takes about 500 man-hours to design and put together the typical Mulsanne. One of the main reasons for that lengthy effort is a deliberate decision to embrace the latest technology. The Crewe factory workers don't use a machine to space perfectly matched cross stitched leather seats. Instead, they do it by hand. Drivers have to park their cars manually, instead of using sensors built into the vehicle to direct them to perpendicular and paralell spots. At the event, Bentley displayed its Mulliner personalization options with a special example – the Mulsanne W.O. The Mulsanne W.O. Edition pays tribute to founder William Osler Bentley. The 100 limited edition cars come with keys that display a piece of the 1930 8 Litre crankshaft.
