Bentley Announces the "6.75 Edition by Mulliner," a Limited Edition of 30 Cars
As its flagship luxury limousine, the Mulsanne, concludes its production run, British marque Bentley has unveiled the "6.75 Edition by Mulliner," a limited-edition model of 30 cars worldwide, to mark its grand finale.
The 6.75-Litre V8 Engine: A 60-Year Legacy
The 6.75-litre engine, which lends its name to this limited edition, boasts a distinguished 60-year history, having first been introduced in the Bentley S2 model in 1959.
The 6.75-litre V8 twin-turbo engine powering this limited edition is the same as that found in the Mulsanne Speed, producing a maximum output of 537ps and peak torque of 1,100Nm.
The exterior features gloss black brightwork to accentuate the owner's chosen exterior colour, while the front and rear lights are framed in bright chrome. The bonnet's Flying B mascot, radiator grille, and exhaust finishers are presented in a dark tint.
Furthermore, the exclusive 21-inch five-spoke wheels feature a gloss black bright machining finish on the pockets. The engine bay also receives special treatment, with the intake manifold finished in black instead of the traditional silver. Additionally, the engine number plate is signed by Bentley Chairman and CEO Adrian Hallmark, replacing the usual assembly craftsman's name.
Inside, the air vent controls have been redesigned to resemble miniature engine oil caps, replacing the organ stop specification. Each seat is embroidered with the 6.75 Edition motif, which is also projected by the LED welcome lights.
The instrument panel features a design inspired by an engine cross-section for the clock and minor gauges. The seats, with silver piping and accent colours visible through the perforated leather, the silver-painted centre and rear console wood panels, the front console inset with a metal commemorative plaque, and the high-gloss Grand Black fascia and waistrails (adorned with a dark engine spin pattern) are just some of the meticulously crafted details found throughout.
It was also announced that the Mulsanne's successor as the flagship will be the Flying Spur, which is slated for hybridisation by 2023. Furthermore, all staff from the Mulsanne production line, which ceases in 2020, will be redeployed and retained.
