Bentley Mulsanne Key Celebrates Its CentenaryBentley's custom coachbuilding division, Mulliner, has designed a unique keycase to celebrate the brand's centenary. Made from Dark Stained Walnut and Piano Black veneer, it includes a fluttering 'B' paperweight, a set of keys and a brochure that features never-before-seen 1930 8 Litre images.It's the perfect present to greet a new owner of their opulent vehicle.AestheticsAs a design-driven company, Bentley takes its aesthetics seriously. It is evident in the precise placement of its quilting as well as the use of leather that is made from by-products of cattle and sustainable-managed forests, and the innovative patterns of its levers. A car like the Continental GT W12 beckons as you walk up to it with its striking sculptural appeal and power through carefully curated lighting.The Continental GT is the most sophisticated open-top Bentley ever made. The rear tonneau of Continental GT, for example included the biggest 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.Bentley is the most sought-after automobile brand in the world due to its distinctive design and workmanship. TheKeyLab continues to push boundaries with the latest technology and craft, including the introduction of an instrument cluster with digital technology and an electric tilt-opening rear glass sunroof, an artisan-made docking station for Apple iPads and electrochromic smart glass that can be changed from transparent to opaque by an arrow.Bentley celebrated its 100th anniversary in the year 2019 one hundred years after it was founded. The marque, which is owned by Volkswagen independently following years of tense relations with BMW and BMW, had planned a variety of special launches and events to celebrate this milestone. Before pandemic planning took center stage, the marque had a range of special events and launches planned to commemorate this milestone event.DesignBentley is a renowned brand for its lavish and extravagant cars and keys, but even keys are designed to stand out. The Bentayga Key is made of sterling silver, and has a large B' symbol to show everyone that you drive a Bentley. It's also engraved with the years 1919 and 2019 to commemorate the company's centenary.The Mulsanne was revamped and redesigned by Bentley Mulliner to become the ultimate Grand Touring car. The rear seats are designed to give passengers unparalleled comfort and privacy. They were inspired by the luxurious private aircraft. A custom heating, ventilation and air conditioning system has been designed to ensure that every passenger has the perfect climate control setting.The Mulsanne is equipped with a twin turbocharged 6.75 litre W12 engine that generates 560bhp as well as 479lb-ft torque. This colossal power is enhanced by a new suspension design that offers Bentley's hushed, quiet ride.Bentley has introduced a special specification for cars built after the year 2019 to commemorate its centennial. This is called the Centenary Specification. The cabin has cross-stitching, and contrast stitching in Centenary Gold throughout. The Bentley Wings are embroidered with Centenary Gold on the headrests, seats and other areas of the car. This is a great way to celebrate the occasion. The Centenary Specification also includes a bespoke Bentley keycase to complete the Bentley experience.FunctionThe Bentley Mulsanne Key features two buttons that open the trunk, and the other that is used to start 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 spots. This feature helps you get in and out of your car.Each key takes about two days to make. The key is cut by hand, then shaped, sewed and sealed, then polished to produce a premium result. It is compact and strong and will fit the Bentley key perfectly. Its design is similar with the Volkswagen Phaeton's huge car key, but feels more substantial and premium.It is also equipped with Secure-A-Key which prevents keyless entry theft. This device is inserted into the remote control fob and disables it in the event that the key isn't used for more than a few minutes. It stops thieves from transmitting the key's frequency to other devices which will allow the key to be opened and start the car.Bentley's distinctive design reflects the values of the company that include high-quality craftsmanship, engineering expertise and the latest technologies. Its headquarters in Crewe are home to over 4,000 workers who are responsible for the design, development and production of Bentley vehicles. They apply their skills that have been handed through generations to current automotive technology. This is British manufacturing at its finest.PersonalisationBentley's bespoke division, Mulliner, allows customers to essentially design their own car. The "mood station" allows guests to select images that inspire them. These can be anything from beautiful landscapes to sporting events. Every time a choice is made the pattern that emerges will reveal the model preference for color, style and design for the customized Bentley.The configuration that is created is then loaded onto individual R.F.I.D.-enabled keys which are handed out to guests in a hand-crafted key case. The keys can be fitted with Bentley Muliner Personalised welcome lamps that illuminate the path of the opening door with the owner's name or logo as they approach the car.Bentley estimates that it takes about 500 man-hours to build and put together the Mulsanne. One of the main reasons for that lengthy effort is a deliberate refusal to take advantage of modern technology. The Crewe factory workers do not utilize a machine for arranging perfectly-matched leather seats. Instead they do it by hand. Drivers have to park their cars manually, instead of using the built-in sensors to guide them into perpendicular and parallel spaces.At the event, Bentley showcased its Mulliner personalization options with one particular example that was the Mulsanne W.O. Edition, which pays tribute to the founder William Osler Bentley. The limited edition cars are available in 100. an exclusive key that shows a slice of the 1930 8 Litre's crankshaft.
