Bentley Mulsanne Key Celebrates Its Centenary

Mulliner, Bentley's bespoke coachbuilding unit has designed a distinctive keycase to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bentley brand. Made from Dark Stained Burr Walnut and Piano Black veneer, it comes with a flying 'B' paperweight, a set keys, and a brochure with never-before-seen 1930 8 Litre imagery.

It's a great present to welcome a new owner to their lavish vehicle.

Aesthetics

Bentley is a firm that takes its aesthetics very seriously. This is evident in the precise positioning of its quilting as well as the use of leather from leftovers from cattle, the wood from sustainably-managed forests, as well as the unique patterns of its levers. A car like the Continental GT W12 beckons as you take it in with its striking sculptural appeal and power with carefully selected lighting.

The Continental GT is Bentley's most sophisticated open-top vehicle. The rear tonneau on 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 have established Bentley as the most sought-after automotive brand. The firm continues to push the boundaries by utilizing the most advanced technology and manufacturing techniques, such as the introduction of an instrument cluster that is digital as well as an electric tilt-opening rear glass sunroof and a crafted docking station for Apple iPads and electrochromic "smart" glass that can be changed from opaque to transparent at the touch of a button.

A century since its founding, Bentley - now under sole Volkswagen ownership after years of conflict with BMW and BMW - celebrated its centennial in 2019. The marque planned a variety of special events and launches to celebrate the occasion prior to when pandemic planning became a priority.

Design

Bentley is a renowned brand for its lavish and extravagant automobiles and keys, but even the keys are designed to stand out. The Bentayga Key is made of sterling silver, and has a large B' logo to show everyone that you drive a Bentley. It's also engraved with the years 1919 and 2019 to commemorate the company's centenary.

Bentley Mulliner redesigned and developed the Mulsanne to become the ultimate Grand Touring vehicle. The rear seats were designed to offer passengers unmatched comfort and privacy. They were inspired by the luxury private aircraft. A customized heating, air conditioning and ventilation system was designed to give each passenger the ideal temperature control.

The Mulsanne features twin turbocharged 6.75 litre W12 engine that produces 560bhp and 479lb-ft of torque. This colossal power is complemented by a revolutionary suspension design that gives Bentley's famously quiet ride.

In celebration of its Centenary, Bentley introduced a unique specification called the Centenary Specification for cars built in 2019. The cabin is decorated with cross-stitching as well as contrast stitching in Centenary Gold throughout. 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 two buttons one of which opens the trunk, and the second that starts the vehicle. The key also has a button to turn on the parking brake. There is a knob to fold and unfold the mirrors when parking in tight spaces. Utilizing this feature will aid you in getting in and out of the car more easily.

Each key takes two days to make. The key is cut by hand, then shaped, stitched after which it is sealed and polished to give a superior result. It is durable and compact, and will fit the Bentley key perfectly. Its style is similar to the Volkswagen Phaeton large car's key, but it feels much heavier and has a luxurious feel.

Secure-A-Key is also included to protect against keyless entry theft. This device is inserted into the remote-control key fob. It is turned off after a few minutes of inactivity. This stops thieves from transmitting the frequency of the key to other devices which can unlock and start the vehicle.

Bentley's unique design is a reflection of the company's values that include fine craftsmanship and engineering expertise as well as modern technology. Its headquarters in Crewe house more than 4,000 workers who are responsible for the development, design, and production of Bentley vehicles. These workers utilize techniques passed down through generations and apply them to cutting-edge technology in the automotive industry. This is British manufacturing at its finest.

Personalisation

Bentley's bespoke division, Mulliner, allows customers to design their own vehicle. The "mood station" allows customers to choose images that inspire them. They can choose anything from scenic vistas and sporting events. As each selection is made, a pattern will emerge and reveals the model and color preferences for the customized bentley key phone.

The guests are given keys made by hand that houses the R.F.I.D. enabled key cards. Keys can be adorned with Bentley Muliner Personalised welcome lamps, which illuminate the path of the door's opening. They are adorned with the owner's name or logo as they approach the car.

Bentley estimates that it takes around 500 man-hours to craft and put together the typical Mulsanne. The unwillingness to embrace new technology is the key to this time-consuming task. Instead of using a machine to place the perfectly matched cross-stitched leather seats workers at the Crewe factory do it by hand. And rather than using the car's built-in sensors guide it to parallel and perpendicular parking spots drivers must perform the task by hand.

During the event, Bentley presented its Mulliner personalization capabilities with one particular example of the Mulsanne W.O. The Mulsanne W.O. Edition pays tribute to the founding father of the brand, William Osler Bentley. The limited-edition cars have 100 of them. the key with a special design that shows a portion of the 1930 8 Litre's crankshaft.
