A customized heating, air conditioning and ventilation system has been designed to give each passenger the ideal climate control setting.In addition to a set of stylishly executed styling changes and a host of elegantly executed styling changes, the Mulsanne is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.75-litre W12 engine capable of producing 560bhp and 479lb-ft of torque. This incredible power is complemented by a revolutionary suspension system that provides Bentley's hushed, quiet ride.Bentley has announced a special specification for cars built after the year 2019 to commemorate its centenary.

More than 4,000 employees work at the Crewe headquarters, where they are responsible for the design, development, and production of Bentley automobiles. These workers apply skills that have been handed down for generations and apply them to cutting-edge automotive technology. This is British manufacturing at its best.PersonalisationBentley's bespoke division, Mulliner, allows customers to design their own vehicle. Guests sit at a series of images, referred to "mood stations" and choose a selection of images ranging from scenic views to sporting events that can inspire them. Each time a selection is made, the pattern that emerges reveals the model, color and style preferences for the custom Bentley.The resulting configuration is stored on individual R.F.I.D.-enabled key cards which are handed out to guests in a handmade key case. Keys can be outfitted with Bentley Muliner Personalised welcome lamps that illuminate the pathway of the opening door with the owner's name or logo as they approach the car.Bentley estimates that it requires 500 man-hours to build and put together the Mulsanne. The inability to adopt modern technology is the main factor to this time-consuming effort. Instead of using a machine to place the perfectly matched cross-stitched leather seats workers at the Crewe factory do it by hand. Instead of letting the car's built-in sensors guide it to perpendicular and parallel parking spots the drivers must do it by hand.The event also saw Bentley showcased its Mulliner personalization capabilities with an exclusive example of the Mulsanne W.O. bentley continental key programming .O. Edition pays tribute to the founding father of the brand, William Osler Bentley. The 100 limited edition cars include the key, which displays an original 1930 8 Litre crankshaft.
