Bentley Mulsanne Key Celebrates Its Centenary

Bentley's custom coachbuilding division, Mulliner, has designed a unique key case to celebrate the brand's centenary. It is made of Dark Stained Burr Walnut and Piano Black veneer, it includes a flying 'B' paperweight, a set of keys and a brochure that features never-before-seen 1930 8 Litre images.

It's the perfect gift to welcome a new owner to their lavish vehicle.

Aesthetics

As a design-driven company, Bentley takes its aesthetics seriously. It is evident in the precise placement of its quilting, the selection of leather from cattle by-products, the wood that comes from sustainably managed forests and the ingenious patterns that are etched on its levers. As you approach a vehicle like the Continental GT W12, its exquisite design is revealed through carefully curated lighting.

The Continental GT is the most sophisticated open-top Bentley ever made. Its rear tonneau for instance, featured the largest piece of dark-stained, book-matched Burr Walnut veneer ever applied to the production Bentley. 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.

It is this bespoke design, attention to detail and craftsmanship to detail that have established Bentley as the most sought-after automotive brand. The company continues to push boundaries using the most advanced technologies and craftsmanship. This includes the introduction of an electronic tilt-opening rear sunroof as well as a hand-crafted Apple iPad docking station.

A century after its inception, Bentley - now under sole Volkswagen ownership after years of conflict with BMW - celebrated its centenary in the year 2019. Prior to the pandemic plan taking the center stage, the company had a number of special events and launches planned to celebrate this significant occasion.

Design

Bentley is a premium car manufacturer who produces extravagant and luxurious vehicles. But even the keys are an oath. The Bentayga Key is constructed of sterling silver and features a large B' symbol to inform everyone that you're a Bentley. The key is also embossed with the dates 1919 and 2019, to commemorate the company's centennial.

Bentley Mulliner has redesigned and created the Mulsanne to be the ultimate Grand Touring vehicle. The rear seats were designed to provide passengers with the most comfortable and private experience. They were inspired by the luxurious private aircraft. A customized heating, air conditioning and ventilation system has been designed to ensure that every passenger has the ideal temperature control.

The Mulsanne features twin turbocharged 6.75 litre W12 engine with 560bhp, and 479lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse is complemented by a brand new suspension system that provides Bentley's trademark hushed ride.

In celebration of its Centenary, Bentley introduced a specific specification that is known as the Centenary Specification for cars manufactured in 2019. This includes contrast stitching and cross-stitching in Centenary Gold thread throughout the cabin. The bentley flying spur key Wings on the headrests and seats are embossed in Centenary Gold, adding to the sense of celebration. A custom Bentley key case is also included in the Centenary Specification, making the Bentley experience all-inclusive.

Function

The Bentley Mulsanne Key comes with two buttons: one that opens the trunk, and another that starts the vehicle. It also has a button to switch on the parking break. There is a knob to fold and unfold the mirrors when parking in tight spots. Utilizing this feature can help you get into and out of your car more easily.

Each key takes two days to create. The key is cut by hand, shaped, stitched to seal, and polished to create a high-end result. It is light and compact and fits the Bentley key perfectly. Its design is akin to the Volkswagen Phaeton large car's key however it feels heavier and has a more premium feel.

Secure-A-Key is also included to prevent keyless entry theft. The device is placed inside the remote-control key fob and will shut it off after a few minutes of inactivity. This prevents thieves from transmitting the key's frequency to other devices that can unlock and start the vehicle.

Bentley's distinctive design reflects the firm's values of high-quality craftsmanship engineering expertise, as well as cutting-edge technology. Over 4,000 employees work at the Crewe headquarters, where they are responsible for the development, design and production of Bentley automobiles. They apply their expertise that have been handed through generations to modern automotive technology. This is British manufacturing at its best.

Personalisation

Bentley's Mulliner division allows customers to design their own car. The "mood station" lets customers pick images that inspire them. They can range from scenic vistas and sporting events. Every time a choice is made the pattern that emerges is the model colors, style and color preferences for the customized bentley key shell.

The guests receive a key case made by hand that contains the R.F.I.D. enabled key cards. Keys can be outfitted with bentley smart key Muliner Personalised welcome lamps that illuminate the way of the entrance door, and display the owner's name or logo as they approach the car.

Bentley says it takes roughly 500 man-hours to craft and assemble the average Mulsanne. The unwillingness to embrace modern technology is the primary factor to this time-consuming task. Instead of using a machine to space the perfectly matched leather seats, workers at the Crewe factory do it by hand. Instead of letting the car's built-in sensors guide it to perpendicular and parallel parking spaces the drivers must do it by hand.

During the event, Bentley presented its Mulliner personalization capabilities by presenting a special example - the Mulsanne W.O. The Mulsanne W.O. Edition pays tribute to the founding father of the brand, William Osler Bentley. The 100 limited-edition cars include an exclusive key that shows a small portion of the 1930 8 Liter's crankshaft.
