Bentley Mulsanne Key Celebrates Its Centenary Bentley's custom coachbuilding division, Mulliner, has designed an exclusive key case to mark the centennial of the company. Made from Dark Stained Burr Walnut and Piano Black veneer, it includes a flying 'B' paperweight, a set of keys as well as a brochure with never-before-seen 1930 8 Litre imagery. It's the perfect gift to welcome a new owner to their luxurious vehicle. Aesthetics As a design-centric company Bentley takes its aesthetics extremely seriously. It's evident in the exact placement of its quilting, the selection of leather from by-products of cattle, the wood from sustainable forests and the creative patterns on its levers. As you approach a car 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 created. The rear of the tonneau in the Continental GT, for instance was the largest piece 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. It is this bespoke design, attention to detail and craftsmanship to detail that has established Bentley as the world's most sought-after car brand. The company continues to push boundaries by utilizing the most advanced technology and craftsmanship, including the introduction of the digital instrument cluster and an electric tilt-opening rear glass sunroof, a custom-designed docking station for Apple iPads and electrochromic glass that can be switched from opaque to transparent by pressing an arrow. Bentley celebrated its 100th anniversary in the year 2019 one hundred years after it was founded. The marque, currently owned by Volkswagen without a partner following years of tense relations with BMW, had planned a series of special events and launches to commemorate the occasion. The company planned a range of special events and launches to celebrate the historic occasion before the pandemic was declared a priority. Design Bentley is known for its lavish and extravagant cars, but even keys are made to stand out. The Bentayga Key is made of sterling silver and features the large B' logo to inform everyone that you drive a Bentley. It's also engraved with the years 1919 and 2019 to mark the company's centenary. keys bentley The Keylab was redesigned and developed by Bentley Mulliner to be the ultimate Grand Touring car. The rear seats are designed to give passengers unparalleled comfort and privacy. They were inspired by the luxury private aircraft. A custom heating, ventilation and air conditioning system has been developed to give each passenger the perfect climate control setting. The Mulsanne has twin turbocharged 6.75 litre W12 engine that produces 560bhp and 479lb-ft of torque. This colossal power is complemented by a new suspension architecture that delivers Bentley's trademark hushed ride. In celebration of its Centenary, Bentley introduced a unique specification called the Centenary Specification for cars that were built in 2019. This includes contrast stitching and cross-stitching in Centenary Gold thread throughout the cabin. The Bentley Wings on the headrests and seats are stitched in Centenary Gold, adding to the sense of celebration. A bespoke Bentley key case is included in the Centenary Specification, making the Bentley experience all-inclusive. Function The Bentley Mulsanne key features an opening button for the trunk and another that turns on the car. The key also comes with a switch that allows you to turn on the parking brake. The knob can be used to fold or unfold the mirrors while parking in a tight area. This feature can aid in getting in and out of your car more easily. The key is made from vegetable tanned leather and takes over two days to make each one. The key is cut by hand, shaped by hand, stitched, sealed, and then polished to give a superior result. It is sturdy small and compact, and it fits the Bentley key perfectly. Its design is similar with the Volkswagen Phaeton's huge car key, but feels more substantial and luxurious. Secure-A-Key is also included to protect against keyless entry theft. This device is put into the remote-control fob and it shuts it down in the event that the key isn't used for more than a few minutes. It blocks thieves from transmitting the key's frequency to other devices that can unlock and start the car. Bentley's distinctive design reflects the firm's values of high-quality craftsmanship and engineering expertise as well as modern technology. Its headquarters in Crewe is home to more than four hundred employees who are responsible for the development, design and production of Bentley vehicles. These workers use the skills passed over generations and then apply them to the latest in automotive technology. This is a hallmark of British manufacturing at its finest. Personalisation Bentley's Mulliner division allows customers to create their own car. Guests sit at a series of pictures referred to as “mood stations” and pick a set of photos ranging from scenic landscapes to sporting events that inspire them to design their own. After each selection is made, a pattern is created, which reveals the model and color preferences for the custom Bentley. The configuration that is created is loaded onto individual R.F.I.D.-enabled keys which are handed out to the guests in a handmade key case. The keys can also be outfitted with Bentley Muliner Personalised Welcome Lamps which light the door's opening pathway with the owner's name, or emblem as they make their way towards the vehicle. Bentley estimates that it takes around 500 man-hours to construct and build a Mulsanne. One of the main reasons for that lengthy effort is a deliberate refusal to adopt the latest technology. The Crewe factory workers do not make use of a machine to create perfectly matched cross stitched leather seats. Instead, they do it by hand. Drivers are required to park their vehicles manually, rather than relying on sensors built into the vehicle to direct them to parallel and perpendicular spots. The event also saw Bentley presented its Mulliner personalization capabilities using an exclusive example of the Mulsanne W.O. Edition, which pays tribute to founder William Osler Bentley. The limited edition cars include the key, which displays an item from the 1930 8 Litre crankshaft.
