Mulliner will now luxurify Bentley's Speed cars even further

Mulliner has just taken on three new stewards in Bentley’s fourth-generation Continental GT/GTC and Flying spur models, applying several small but classy touches to make them even fancier. Yep, that is possible as it turns out.

Mulliner’s signature ‘Floating Diamonds’ front grille replaces the original design for one filled with chrome. In fact, there are generous amounts of chrome lining found elsewhere too, in places like the sidebar and exhaust tailpipes.

The mirror caps will be brushed in Satin Silver, beneath which sit not-at-all flash 22in alloy wheels finished in Tungsten Grey with polished accents. The usual self-levelling centre caps are still there too, don’t worry.

Bespoke to the Continentals are intricate ‘Harmony’ headlights with cut crystal reflector details. The taillights also ditch the grey tint for a red mask and, while subtle, do look truly gorgeous.

Rounding off the exterior options, customers can pick from as many as 101 colours to finish their car with, likely getting as specific as you like. Like a paintjob that matches the interior lining of your favourite suit.

The cabin gains bespoke mats and tread plates, and you see those properly snug-looking seats? They’re hand-stitched with a diamond pattern, which even extends to the fabric roof cover in the GTC.

You don’t get quite as many colourway choices here, but Mulliner will still serve up to 15 primary, 11 secondary and six accent choices to combine with the eight different types of wood veneer. Sheesh, even Need for Speed doesn’t have that much customisation.

The driver’s LED instrument cluster also gets a small graphical refresh, while the pedals, steering wheel and panoramic roof (on the GT/Flying Spur) benefit from a slight mock-up.

Mulliner won’t be making any mechanical changes though, so the standard output figures will remain the same for all three cars: 771bhp and 778lb ft from Bentley’s new 4.0-litre hybrid V8. It even allows for up to 50 miles of zero emission driving, depending on the model chosen.

Prices have yet to be revealed, but given you’ll be spending at least £236,000 for a base Conti GT, it wouldn’t be unfair to suggest a visit to Mulliner would nudge your investment really very far north of that.
