They did experiment with the Headlamps but they dont look good to me . Infact i would have preferred two of those with a small size .

I love it. Amazing design from bentley and it totally trumps the phantom. The side profile, the exuberance, and the bold looks, its just pure class. And for the guys who dont like the little lamps on the outer sides, go see how bentleys looked in the 60's and 70's. Even they had these small lamps which set them apart IMO. I am attaching a picture of the interior too.

@ v10 - I see the light (metaphorically!). The dash + centre console is awesome, no doubt. Love the rear, love the side profile. One big lamp though, would have been enough up front. Anyway.

The hype that they created. Sorry Bentley, I don't approve of the effort on the styling. Are you trying to say you messed up to make it better or messier and moreover the color they chose to represent are not good. Neither here nor their.

Interiors will be bespoke so all owners will love it inside

I think Arnage resale will be now better itself.

I'm torn. It's an Arnage successor and that means I WANT TO love it. But somehow, something stops me. The Arnage was pure class and character.

The interiors of this Bentley will be beautiful. I know. But somehow, it doesnt excite me.

I think ajmat said it perfectly. A bit yankee, footballer and arab bling all rolled into one.

Making of the Mulsanne!

Bentley has started the production of the luxury Mulsanne, which will reach first customers this summer. UK pricing starts at £220,000 and the US pricing from $285,000. Here is a video from the new 7500m2 assembly center that showcases traditional British coach building skills and painstaking attention to detail.

The shining bare metal shells that will eventually become Bentley’s new flagship are created using a combination of high-strength steels and aluminum. These components are assembled into a complete shell using techniques that range from industry-leading adhesives through to hand-crafted brazing skills.

It takes 125 man-hours to create the steel and aluminum body of the Mulsanne.

Prospective Mulsanne customers can take an even closer look at the production from a specially designed viewing gallery, where they can see how their cars take shape, from individual panels to finished body.

End of an era as Bentley bids farewell to Mulsanne
All-New Grand Bentley teaser - Bentley Mulsanne now revealed-mulsanne.jpg
Quote:
The Mulsanne, launched in 2010, is named after the Mulsanne Corner of the Le Mans racing circuit, where Bentley race cars have won the 24 hour race six times.

“The Mulsanne has played a pivotal role in maintaining Bentley’s position as global leader of the luxury limousine segment,” said Chris Craft, member of the board for sales, marketing and aftersales at Bentley Motors.

"While production of the Mulsanne will end in Spring 2020, this decision has been taken at a time when we are experiencing significant customer demand across our other existing model lines and as such, we will be redeploying all of our manufacturing colleagues who currently work on the Mulsanne to other areas of the business."
Quote:
Created by Mulliner, the coachbuilding arm of Bentley, the final act of the outgoing 10-year-old Mulsanne, said to be the pinnacle of Bentley cars, is the 6.75 Edition by Mulliner. It is restricted to 30 cars.
Quote:
Once this batch is sold in 2020, the Flying Spur will commence with its new position of flagship model.

The Bentley Mulsanne - The End of an Era

All-New Grand Bentley teaser - Bentley Mulsanne now revealed-smartselect_20200625174157_chrome.jpg

After more than a decade in production, the final example of the Mulsanne has been completed, signifying the end of an illustrious and extraordinary lifespan. Over 7,300 examples - all handcrafted at Bentley’s home in Crewe, Cheshire - have embodied Bentley’s ability to produce the ultimate luxury sedan.

With typical end-of-production celebrations curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Bentley Colleagues gathered for socially-distanced photographs with the final cars, and marked the departure of Mulsanne by sharing their thoughts of the outgoing Bentley flagship on camera.

Bentley Chairman and Chief Executive, Adrian Hallmark, comments:
“The Mulsanne is the culmination of all that we at Bentley have learnt during our first 100 years in producing the finest luxury cars in the world. As the flagship of our model range for over a decade, the Mulsanne has firmly solidified its place in the history of Bentley as nothing less than a true icon. I am immensely proud of the hundreds of designers, engineers and craftspeople that brought the Mulsanne to life over the last ten years. Now, as we begin Bentley’s journey to define the future of sustainable luxury mobility through our Beyond100 strategy, the role of Bentley flagship is passed to the new Flying Spur.”
