The recent line of special-edition Bentley Mulsanne models is about to gain a new addition with today’s unveiling of the Mulsanne Birkin Limited Edition. But before you start tying up this Mulsanne with those Birkin bags from Hermes, understand that we’re talking about a totally different inspiration for the former.
That inspiration comes in the form of Sir Henry Ralph Stanley ‘Tim’ Birkin, a legendary race car driver from the 1920s and 1930s who was also identified as a style icon in his own right. He’s like David Beckham in today’s time, at least if Beckham raced cars for a living as opposed to kicking soccer balls.
In any case, the Birkin inspiration was intentional, in large part because the racer was considered a true and true Bentley Boy and this lineup of Mulsanne models — 22 models in total — pays homage to the man with numerous unique styling details representing only the finest in British luxury.
The Mulsanne Birkin Limited Edition is available in three colors — Ghost White, Damson for a more vibrant touch, and a sophisticated contrast of Fountain Blue and Dark Sapphire — each carrying a distinctively unique appeal in it of themselves. Door sill plaques have also been added, each carrying a distinctive number to represent which of the 22 models it is.
Inside, its a picture of luxury , one that can only be identified as a true Bentley. Striking 3D ‘Flying B’ logos have been stitched into the headrests and inlaid into the wood of the front fascia and rear picnic tables. Similarly, the seats and door panels were given intricate diamond quilting patterns and complemented by the indented leather headlining and ‘knurling’ details that were done on the cabin’s metalwork.
One thing we know for certain: very few cars in the world come with the same level of intricate and extravagant handiwork that was done on the Mulsanne Birkin Limited Edition.
And if those aren’t enough, the 22-unit vehicle can also be bought with an Entertainment Specification package, which includes twin 8-inch LCD screens in the rear of the seat headrests, a DVD player, a Wi-Fi hotspot, the Naim for Bentley premium audio system and iPads integrated into the hand-crafted solid wood picnic tables.
Luxury meets functionality meets technology meets exclusivity. That, in a nutshell, is how you can put the Bentley Mulsanne Birkin Limited Edition into proper context.
