LONDON: Bentley Mulliner has announced the new Flying Spur Mulliner – its first electrified Bentley.
Mulliner said customers would still enjoy the fine detailing offered by its latest product regardless of powertrain options.
The car is available with Bentley’s all-new V6 petrol hybrid, V8 and W12 petrol powertrains
Revealed at the Monterey Car Week in California, the elegantly appointed sedan sits at the top of the Flying Spur family.
Detailing highlights include exclusive Mulliner 22-inch wheels, in a grey painted and polished finish, with self-levelling wheel caps that remain upright as the wheels rotate.
A “Double Diamond” front grille and chrome front lower grille are matched by bespoke Mulliner branded wing vents and Satin Silver painted mirror caps. The iconic Bentley Flying B is electronically deployed and illuminated, while the Flying Spur Mulliner also features jewel fuel and oil caps.
Mulliner illuminated outer treadplates and deep-pile Mulliner overmats welcome passengers inside the ultimate Flying Spur cabin, which offers a Mulliner selection of eight custom-made, three-colour combinations. The cockpit is complemented by accent colour piping and unique Mulliner embroidery to the hand-stitched seats.
The Mulliner Driving Specification is fitted as standard, bringing the “Diamond-in-Diamond” quilting to the seats, and three-dimensional leather to the doors. Contrast seat piping matches the accent that surrounds the occupants from the centre console, around the instrument panel and finishes beneath the door waistrail, highlighting the Bentley B chrome inlays.
The centrepiece feature on the dashboard is a brushed silver Mulliner clock.
The classic Bentley theme continues in the LED driver’s instrument panel, with stylish new and exclusive Mulliner graphics. The now famous Bentley Rotating Display, sports pedals, heated duo-tone 3-spoke steering wheel and panoramic sunroof add to the luxurious ambience.
Unique Mulliner electrically-operated picnic tables are mounted to the rear of the front seats and can be deployed with a single press of a button. The veneered tables, which feature unique overlay, lower and self-level to reveal a leather-trimmed surface with a recess for a pen or stylus. Holding the button down returns the table to its home position.
Flying Spur Mulliner customers receive leather-bound keys in a unique, Mulliner-branded handcrafted presentation box, which matches the three-colour cabin configuration of their car. The two keys are provided in similarly colour-matched cases with contrast stitching.
When equipped with Bentley’s 6.0-litre, twin-turbocharged W12, the Flying Spur Mulliner accelerates from 0-100kph in 3.8 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 333kph.
The new generation 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 delivers a top speed of 318kph and 0-100kph in 4.1 seconds.
The new V6 Hybrid accelerates from 0-100kph in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 285kph.
