Bentley’s flagship Mulsanne has been chosen as the outstanding
car model in the Best Limousine/Saloon Car category in the Centurion Magazine’s
Readers’ Choice 2010, the first worldwide survey on this scale to be conducted
by any lifestyle publication.

“The Centurion readers’ award for the new Mulsanne, which
has been designed and engineered at Crewe from the
ground-up, is a significant honor for Bentley,” Bentley’s Chairman and Chief
Executive, Wolfgang Duerheimer, said. “We are delighted that our efforts to
create a new Bentley flagship combining performance with very high levels of
luxury and refinement have been recognized in this way.”

Design Director Dirk van Braeckel explained the inspiration
behind the Mulsanne’s distinctive appearance:  “The opportunity to design
a new flagship Bentley is something afforded to very few designers. The team
set out to create a sculpted form that blended classic Bentley heritage cues
with modern lines.”

The body of the Mulsanne is produced in a special
manufacturing facility at Bentley’s headquarters in Crewe
where traditional metalworking skills, developed over six decades, are used during
the nine-week build process. More than 170 hours – almost half the entire build
process – goes into crafting the interior of the new Mulsanne. True to the
Bentley ethos of unparalleled exclusivity, customers may also select from an
extensive range of premium quality veneers and palette of leather hides.
