Scheduled to remain on sale for at least three more
years, the Mulsanne could soon receive a two-door convertible version. Such a
model has been in the rumor mill since 2012 and gained more traction in 2014
when the Brits showcased the Grand Convertible concept.
The much-anticipated
production model was canceled in 2015 when Wolfgang Durheimer was replaced by
Wolfgang Schreiber as Bentley CEO, but now that the former has return to the
helm of the brand, the Mulsanne cabriolet is back on the drawing board.
Bentley has yet to make an official statement about
it, but Durheimer told that the Grand Convertible concept
could be turned into a production car in Mulliner’s workshop. The luxury
drop-top would be built in a limited batch and sold with a huge sticker
compared to the sedan. Should that happen, Bentley will offer its first
full-size convertible since the 2009, when the Arnage-based Azure was
discontinued.
There’s no specific timetable for the Mulsanne
convertible, but this gives us just enough time to take guesses upon what it
may bring to the table.
