Bentley celebrates 100 years with Mulsanne WO Edition
Luxurious limo created to pay tribute to car-maker's founderBentley has released pictures of a commemorative version of its Mulsanne limousine that celebrates 100 years since WO Bentley founded the British car-maker back in 1919.
Painted in Onyx black paint with matching black alloy wheels and a chrome bonnet strip, the new Mulsanne WO Edition by Mulliner is denoted by a small subtle badge on the front fender plus blink-and-you'll-miss centenary self-levelling wheel centres.
It's inside that the celebratory Bentley stands apart from the regular Mulsanne.
Featuring leather that's claimed to mimic the patina of vintage cars, the luxurious limo boasts a cocktail cabinet or bottle cooler with an embedded slice of a famous Bentley 8 Litre crankshaft from the founder's own car.
Elsewhere on the hand-made cabinet is WO Bentley's signature.
According to Bentley, it will build just 100 WO Edition Mulsannes and all will come with lambswool rugs, crystal glass tumblers, privacy curtains on the rear doors and rear seat infotainment.
Under the bonnet, buyers will have the choice of either the standard car's 377kW/1020Nm 6.75-litre twin-turbo V8 or the more powerful 395kW/1100Nm version from the Mulsanne Speed model that's capable of hauling the 2.7-tonne limo to 100km/h from standstill in just 4.8 seconds.
Bentley says it will reveal the special Mulsanne -- and presumably its price tag -- at the Monterey Car Week in California in late August, with deliveries beginning in 2019.
