Bentley revealed the Bentayga Mulliner ahead of its scheduled Geneva debut. Described
as the “ultimate luxury SUV”, the new Bentley Bentayga Mulliner was created by
the brand’s in-house personal commissioning division to play the role of the
flagship model in the range.
There are now new, exclusive
features which on the outside include a two-tone paintwork and unique 22in
alloy wheels with floating wheel centers, exclusive badging, body-colored lower
bodywork and bright chromed lower bumper grilles.
The bigger differences are found in the cabin, where
Mulliner has combined modern and traditional coachbuilding design. The interior
now features a color split, with the rear seats finished in a different hide
color from the front ones, with customers to be offered seven suggested combos.
The upholstery is stitched by hand and is finished with unique embroidery and
contrast stitching.
There is also a new Ombré Burr Walnut Veneer found
inside, which is exclusive to the Bentayga Mulliner and features a unique wood
transition from black to Burr Walnut as the veneer wraps around the cabin,
including a special veneered panel on the central console fascia.
Other interior features include a system Bentley
calls mood lighting which comes with six options, illuminated Mulliner tread
plates and the “highest quality audio system in the class”, a 20-speaker system
with a 1,950-watt, 21-channel amplifier. There is even a new Mulliner bottle
cooler integrated in the rear center console, complete with bespoke Cumbria
Crystal flutes.
Power comes from the 6.0-litre W12 engine which
makes 600 hp and 900 Nm of peak torque, enabling the new
Bentley Bentayga Mulliner to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.1 second before reaching a top speed of 301 km/h.
The new Bentley Bentayga Mulliner will be produced
in very limited numbers due to the handcrafted nature of its interior, with the
order books set to open this spring. Bentley will also have an one-off example
of their flagship Bentayga on display in Geneva next week.
