The final Bentley Mulsanne has rolled off the production line, marking the end of an era for this iconic luxury vehicle. The last vehicle produced is a special edition known as the 6.75 Edition, a fitting tribute to the model’s legacy.
Over the last 10 years, there have been 7,300 Bentley Mulsanne cars produced, each representing the pinnacle of British automotive craftsmanship. The final model is on its way to the USA, where it will undoubtedly be cherished by its new owner.
With typical end-of-production celebrations curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Bentley colleagues gathered for socially-distanced photographs with the final cars. They marked the departure of the Mulsanne by sharing their thoughts on the outgoing Bentley flagship on camera. Bentley is today releasing both this colleague film and a suite of imagery of the penultimate customer car – a Mulsanne Speed ‘6.75 Edition by Mulliner’ finished in Rose Gold over Tungsten, heading to a lucky customer in the USA. One extremely special, final Mulsanne remains behind the penultimate car – however, its future home remains a closely guarded secret.
The Legacy of the Bentley Mulsanne
The Bentley Mulsanne has long been a symbol of luxury and performance. Introduced in 2010, the Mulsanne was designed to be the ultimate expression of Bentley’s craftsmanship and engineering prowess. It was named after the Mulsanne Straight of the Le Mans racing circuit, a nod to Bentley’s rich motorsport heritage.
The Mulsanne was powered by a 6.75-liter V8 engine, a configuration that has been a hallmark of Bentley’s flagship models for decades. This engine was capable of producing 530 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque in its most powerful iteration, the Mulsanne Speed. This immense power allowed the Mulsanne to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds, an impressive feat for a vehicle of its size and luxury.
Special Editions and Customization
Throughout its production run, the Mulsanne was offered in several special editions, each showcasing Bentley’s ability to create bespoke vehicles tailored to the desires of its customers. The 6.75 Edition, for example, features unique design elements such as gloss black brightware, dark tint treatments for the Flying B mascot, and a unique 6.75 Edition motif on the seats and clock face.
Bentley’s Mulliner division played a significant role in the customization of the Mulsanne. Customers could choose from an extensive palette of exterior colors, interior trims, and bespoke features. This level of personalization ensured that no two Mulsannes were exactly alike, making each vehicle a unique masterpiece.
The Mulsanne also featured advanced technology and luxurious amenities. The interior was adorned with the finest materials, including hand-stitched leather, real wood veneers, and polished metal accents. Passengers could enjoy a state-of-the-art infotainment system, rear-seat entertainment, and a host of comfort features such as heated and ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a premium audio system.
The end of the Mulsanne production marks a significant moment in Bentley’s history. As the brand looks to the future, it continues to innovate and push the boundaries of luxury and performance. The Mulsanne’s legacy will undoubtedly live on, inspiring future generations of Bentley vehicles.
