Bentley's custom coachbuilding division, Mulliner, has designed a unique keycase to celebrate the brand's centenary. It is constructed of Dark stained Walnut with Piano Black Veneer and includes an eagle-like "B" paperweight, keys, and an original 1930s booklet that features never-before-seen 1930s 8 Litre images.

It's a great present to welcome a new owner to their luxurious vehicle.

Aesthetics

Bentley is a company that takes its aesthetics seriously. This is evident in the precise placement of its quilting and the use of leather from leftovers from cattle, the wood from sustainably-managed forests, and the ingenuous patterns of its levers. A car like the Continental GT W12 beckons as you drive by to show its sculptural beauty and power by carefully curated lighting.

The Continental GT is Bentley's most sophisticated open-top vehicle. The rear of the tonneau in the Continental GT, for example was the largest piece ever made 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.

It is this bespoke design, quality and attention to detail that have established Bentley as the most sought-after automobile brand. The company continues to push the boundaries with the latest technology and craftsmanship. This includes the introduction of an electronic tilt-opening rear window sunroof and a crafted Apple iPad docking station.

Bentley celebrated its 100th anniversary in the year 2019 100 years after it was established. The marque, which is owned by Volkswagen alone following years of tense relations with BMW and BMW, had planned a variety of special events and launches to commemorate the occasion. Prior to pandemic planning taking center stage, the marque held a series of special events and launches planned to mark the occasion.

Design

Bentley is famous for its lavish and extravagant automobiles however, even the keys are designed to make a statement. The Bentayga key bentley is made from sterling silver. It has an oversized 'B' logo that tells everyone you drive a Bentley. The key is also embossed with the dates 1919 and 2019, to mark the company’s centenary.

The Mulsanne was revamped and redesigned by Bentley Mulliner in order to be the ultimate Grand Touring car. It has two opposing pairs of rear seats that are inspired by the luxury of private aviation, providing passengers with unparalleled comfort and security. The bespoke heating and ventilation system as well as the air conditioning system was designed to provide each passenger with the perfect temperature control.

The Mulsanne features twin turbocharged 6.75 litre W12 engine that puts out 560bhp and 479lb-ft torque. This power is paired by a new suspension system which provides Bentley's renowned smooth ride.

Bentley has released a special specification for cars manufactured after the year 2019 in order to celebrate its centenary. This is known as the Centenary Specification. This includes cross-stitching and contrast stitching in Centenary Gold thread throughout the cabin. The Bentley Wings on the headrests and seats are embroidered with Centenary Gold, adding to the feeling of celebration. The Centenary Specification also includes a customized Bentley keycase, adding to the Bentley experience.

Function

The Bentley Mulsanne Key features two buttons one of which opens the trunk, and another that starts the vehicle. The key also has a button to turn on the parking brake. The knob can be used to fold or unfold the mirrors when parked in a tight area. This feature helps you get in and out of your car.

Each key takes two days to make. It is cut by hand and shaped, then sewn, sealed and polished to give an extremely high-end finish. It is durable, compact, and fits the Bentley key perfectly. Its design is similar to that of the Volkswagen Phaeton large car's key, but it feels much heavier and has a premium feel.

It is also equipped with Secure-A-Key which can help prevent keyless entry theft. The device is placed inside the remote control key fob and disables it after a few minutes of inactivity. This prevents thieves from transmitting the frequency of the key to other devices that are able to unlock and start the vehicle.

Bentley's distinctive design reflects the firm's values of high-quality craftsmanship, engineering expertise, and cutting-edge technology. Its headquarters in Crewe is home to more than 4000 employees who are responsible for the development, design and production of Bentley vehicles. These workers apply the skills passed down for generations and apply them to the latest in automotive technology. This is British manufacturing at its best.

Personalisation

bentley continental gt key's bespoke division, Mulliner, allows customers to design their own vehicle. Guests sit at a series of pictures referred to as "mood stations" and choose a selection of images ranging from scenic landscapes to sporting events that are inspiring to them to design their own. Every time a choice is made, the pattern that emerges will reveal the model colors, style and color preferences 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 the guests in a custom key case. Keys can also be equipped with Bentley Muliner Personalised Welcome Lamps, which illuminate the door-opening path with the owner's name or logo when they are approaching the vehicle.

Bentley claims it takes about 500 man-hours to craft and assemble the average Mulsanne. The main reason for this lengthy effort is a deliberate decision to embrace the latest technology. Instead of employing a machine for spacers to the perfectly-matched leather seats workers at the Crewe factory do it by hand. Drivers have to park their cars manually, instead of using sensors built-in to direct them to parallel and perpendicular spots.

During the event, Bentley presented its Mulliner personalization capabilities by presenting one of a kind that was the Mulsanne W.O. The Mulsanne W.O. Edition pays tribute to the man who founded the company, William Osler Bentley. The limited edition cars include an item key that shows the 1930 8 Litre crankshaft.
