Bentley Mulsanne Key Celebrates Its Centenary Bentley's bespoke coachbuilding division, Mulliner, has designed a unique key case to commemorate the brand's centennial. It is constructed of Dark stained Walnut with Piano Black Veneer and includes the flying “B” paperweight keys, as well as an album of never-before-seen 1930s 8 Litre images. It's the perfect gift to welcome a new owner into their luxurious vehicle. Aesthetics As a design-oriented company Bentley takes its aesthetics extremely seriously. It shows in the precision positioning of its quilting, the selection of leather from the by-products of cattle, timber from forests that are sustainably managed and the unique patterns on its levers. A car like the Continental GT W12 beckons as you take it in and showcases its stunning sculptural design and power through carefully planned lighting. The Continental GT is Bentley's most sophisticated open-top vehicle. Its rear tonneau for instance, featured the largest piece of dark-stained, book-matched Burr Walnut veneer ever applied to an actual 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 unique design, attention to detail and craftsmanship to detail that have established Bentley as the most sought-after automotive brand. The company continues pushing boundaries with the latest technologies and hand-crafted products. This includes the introduction of an electronic tilt-opening rear window sunroof, as well as a custom-designed Apple iPad docking station. A century after its inception, Bentley – now under sole Volkswagen ownership following years of wrangling with BMW it celebrated its centenary in 2019. The marque planned a variety of special occasions and launches to mark the milestone event before planning for a pandemic became a top priority. Design Bentley is a renowned brand for its extravagant and luxurious automobiles, but even keys are designed to make a statement. The Bentayga key is made from sterling silver and has an oversized 'B' logo that lets everyone know you're a Bentley. It also has the years 1919 and 2019 to mark the company's centenary. The Mulsanne was revamped and redesigned by Bentley Mulliner, to be the ultimate Grand Touring car. The rear seats were designed to provide passengers with unparalleled comfort and privacy. They were inspired by the luxury private aircraft. The custom heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system was designed to provide each passenger with the ideal temperature control. Alongside a range of stylishly executed styling changes, the Mulsanne is powered by twin-turbocharged 6.75-litre W12 engine that is capable of producing 560bhp and 479lb-ft of torque. This incredible power is complemented by a brand new suspension system that gives Bentley's famously quiet ride. Bentley has released a special specification for cars made after 2019 to commemorate its centennial. This is called the Centenary Specification. This includes contrast stitching and cross-stitching in Centenary Gold thread throughout the cabin. The Bentley Wings on the headrests and seats are embroidered in Centenary Gold, adding to the sense of celebration. The Centenary Specification also includes a customized Bentley keycase, adding to the Bentley experience. Function The Bentley Mulsanne Key comes with two buttons one of which opens the trunk, and the other that turns on the vehicle. It also has a button to switch on the parking break. There is a knob to fold and unfold the mirrors while parking in tight spots. This feature helps you get into and out of your car. Each key takes about two days to create. The key is cut by hand, shaped by hand, stitched after which it is sealed and polished to produce a premium result. It is light and compact, and it fits the Bentley key perfectly. Its design is similar with the Volkswagen Phaeton's big car key, but feels more substantial and luxurious. Secure-A-Key is also available to help prevent keyless entry theft. This device is inserted into the remote-control fob and disables it if the key is not used for a short period of time. It blocks thieves from transmitting the key's frequency to other devices which can be used to unlock and start the car. Bentley's distinctive design reflects the company's values that include high-quality craftsmanship engineering expertise and cutting-edge technology. Its headquarters in Crewe are home to more than 4,000 workers who are responsible for the design, development and production of Bentley vehicles. These workers use techniques passed over generations and then apply them to cutting-edge automotive technology. This is a characteristic of British manufacturing at its finest. Personalisation Bentley's bespoke division, Mulliner, allows customers to essentially design their own car. The “mood station” lets guests pick images that inspire them. These could range from stunning views to sporting events. When each selection is made, a pattern is created and reveals the design and color preferences for the custom Bentley. The resulting configuration is loaded onto individual R.F.I.D.-enabled bentley key fob cover thekeylab.co.uk which are handed out to the guests in a hand-crafted key case. Keys can also be fitted with Bentley Muliner Personalised Welcome Lamps that illuminate the door's opening path with the owner's name, or emblem as they approach the vehicle. Bentley estimates that it takes around 500 man-hours to construct and assemble the Mulsanne. The inability to adopt modern technology is the main factor to this time-consuming effort. Instead of making use of 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 into perpendicular and parallel parking spots the drivers must do it manually. During the event, Bentley showcased its Mulliner personalization capabilities by presenting a special example of the Mulsanne W.O. The Mulsanne W.O. Edition pays tribute to the man who founded the company, William Osler Bentley. The limited edition cars come with the key, which displays a piece of the 1930 8 Litre crankshaft.
