Aesthetics

As a design-oriented company Bentley takes its aesthetics extremely seriously. It is evident in the precise position of its quilting, the selection of leather from by-products of cattle, the wood from sustainable forests and the ingenious patterns that are etched on its levers. A car like the Continental GT W12 beckons as you take it in and showcases its stunning sculptural design and power with carefully selected lighting.

The Continental GT is Bentley's most sophisticated open-top vehicle. Its rear tonneau, as an example, showcased the biggest piece of dark-stained, book-matched Burr Walnut veneer ever applied to a production Bentley. 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.

Bentley is the most sought-after car brand worldwide due to its distinctive design and quality. The company continues to push boundaries with the latest technologies and hand-crafted products. This includes the introduction of an electronic tilt-opening rear window sunroof as well as a hand-crafted Apple iPad docking station.

A century since its founding, Bentley - now under sole Volkswagen ownership after years of conflict with BMW it celebrated its centenary in the year 2019. The marque planned a series of special events and launches to celebrate the occasion before planning for a pandemic became a top priority.

Design

Bentley is a premium car manufacturer that creates extravagant and luxurious cars. However, even keys stand out. The Bentayga Key is made of sterling silver and features a large B' logo to signal to everyone that you're driving a Bentley. The key is also embossed with the dates 1919 and 2019 to mark the company’s centenary.

The Mulsanne was redesigned and developed by Bentley Mulliner, to be the ultimate Grand Touring car. The rear seats were designed to provide passengers with the most comfortable and private experience. They were inspired by the luxury private aircraft. The unique heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system was designed to give every passenger the ideal climate control settings.

The Mulsanne is equipped with twin turbocharged 6.75 litre W12 engine with 560bhp as well as 479lb-ft torque. This incredibly powerful power is paired by a brand new suspension system that offers Bentley's signature quiet ride.

In celebration of its Centenary, Bentley introduced a specific specification that is known as the Centenary Specification for vehicles built in 2019. The cabin is decorated with cross-stitching as well as contrast stitching in Centenary Gold throughout. The Bentley Wings on the headrests and seats are stitched in Centenary Gold, adding to the sense of celebration. A bespoke Bentley key case is included in the Centenary Specification, making the Bentley experience all-inclusive.

Function

The Bentley Mulsanne Key comes with two buttons one of which opens the trunk, and the other that starts the vehicle. The key also comes with a switch that allows you to turn on the parking brake. There is a knob that can fold and unfold the mirrors while parked in tight areas. This feature makes it easier to get in and out of your vehicle.

The key is constructed from vegetable tanned leather. It takes more than two days to craft each one. The key is cut by hand, shaped, stitched and sealed, then polished to give a superior result. It is robust, compact, and fits the bentley replacement key key perfectly. Its design is similar with the Volkswagen Phaeton's large car key, but feels heavier and more premium.

Secure-A-Key is also included to protect against keyless entry theft. This device is inserted inside the remote-control key fob and stops it after a couple of minutes of inactivity, preventing thieves from transmitting the frequency of the key to other devices that could unlock and start the vehicle.

Bentley's unique design reflects the company's values, which include fine craftsmanship engineering expertise and the latest technologies. Over 4,000 employees work at its Crewe headquarters, which is responsible for the development, design, and production of Bentley automobiles. These workers apply the skills passed down through generations and apply them to cutting-edge automotive technology. This is the hallmark of British manufacturing at its best.

Personalisation

Bentley's bespoke division, Mulliner, allows customers to design their own car. The "mood station" allows customers to choose images that inspire them. These can be anything from stunning views to sporting events. Each time a selection is made, a pattern emerges and reveals the model and color preferences for the personalized Bentley.

The guests are given an individual key case created by hand that contains the R.F.I.D. enabled key cards. The keys can be fitted with Bentley Muliner Personalised welcome lamps, which illuminate the path of the door opening with the owner's name or logo as they approach the vehicle.

Bentley claims it takes about 500 man-hours in order to create and assemble the average Mulsanne. The reluctance to embrace new technology is the key to this time-consuming task. The Crewe factory workers don't utilize a machine for arranging perfectly matched leather seats. Instead, they do it by hand. Instead of letting the car's built in sensors guide it into perpendicular and parallel parking spots drivers must do it by hand.

At the event, Bentley displayed its Mulliner personalization capabilities with a special example - the Mulsanne W.O. The Mulsanne W.O. Edition pays homage to founder William Osler 2005 bentley continental gt key. The limited edition cars include an item key that shows an original 1930 8 Litre crankshaft.
