New Continental GT Mulliner

Overview

The new Continental GT Mulliner sits at the top of the Continental GT range, combining unrivalled power with truly incredible craftsmanship.

Along with the new Continental GT Speed, it is the most powerful grand tourer Bentley has ever made, thanks to its supremely powerful Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain. But there are other changes too, most obviously at the front of the car, where the new headlamps, in combination with the stunning new floating-diamond Mulliner grille, give it incredible presence.

With a stunning new design and a wealth of exquisite Mulliner features, inside and out, this car can be considered the ultimate luxury grand tourer.

Design

With their defined upper edge, the new headlamps are inspired by the intense stare of a big cat as it stalks its prey. The ‘slashed oval’ rear lamps, meanwhile, feature deep red lenses to distinguish the car from the smoke-effect lenses on the Continental GT Speed.

Among the headline features is the beautiful new floating-diamond front grille, an exclusive Mulliner feature that makes the car’s status instantly clear. The painted and polished 22” Mulliner wheels feature self-levelling Bentley ‘B’ badges at their centres, while satin silver mirror caps are another addition exclusive to Mulliner models.

When you open the door, the Animated Welcome Lamps by Mulliner beam a swirling light show onto the ground, culminating in the Bentley logo. Stepping over illuminated ‘Mulliner’ outer treadplates and inner treadplates inscribed with the words ‘Handcrafted in Crewe, England’, you enter a cabin like no other.

The soft Nappa leather upholstery can be ordered in any of eight recommended three-colour combinations, or you can choose your own colours. The cabin features a quilting pattern exclusive to Mulliner models, as well as contrast stitching, accent stitching and Bentley emblems embroidered on the seats in the selected accent colour.

An exclusive Diamond-Milled technical finish has been applied to the centre console, which flows up into a Grand Black veneer fascia emblazoned with a chrome ‘Mulliner’ badge. In the driver’s instrument panel, meanwhile, there is a choice of graphics, including designs exclusive to Mulliner.

Performance

The Continental GT Mulliner is equipped with Bentley’s new Ultra Performance Hybrid V8 powertrain – an innovative combination of a 4.0 litre V8 engine and a powerful electric motor. It means you can choose whether to drive on electric-only power, predominantly petrol power while you recharge the battery, or engage both the engine and the electric motor, to unleash the full power of the car.

With both the engine and the electric motor activated, the car can generate a full 1,000 Nm (738 lb-ft) of torque and 782 PS (771 bhp). The result when you put your foot down is acceleration from zero to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds) and a maximum speed of 208 mph (335 km/h)*.

The car is also equipped with the new Performance Active Chassis, a collection of advanced chassis systems that boost ride comfort, safety and control, especially when exploring the car’s capabilities. The suspension system, for example, features new twin-valve dampers, which allow for greater variability between the car’s driving modes – a softer ride in Comfort mode and a greater sense of control in Sport mode, for example. Bentley Dynamic Ride is a 48-volt anti-roll system that works to keep the car level through corners, without compromising on the quality of the ride when driving in a straight line. An electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD) boosts rear-wheel grip when cornering hard, while the all-wheel steering system offers two benefits: in smaller spaces, the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front wheels, to reduce the car’s turning circle. At higher speeds, they steer the same way, so you can change lanes on the highway more smoothly.

*Top speed with summer tyre fitted as original equipment.

Technology

In addition to its exquisite craftsmanship, the new Continental GT Mulliner has a fully upgraded suite of technology.

With both the wired and wireless implementations of Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, you can connect your phone seamlessly, while your passengers make use of the car’s built-in Wi-Fi hotspot for in-car connectivity, and internet radio gives you access to thousands of online stations. The new My Bentley App Studio, meanwhile, allows you to download third-party apps direct to the car’s infotainment system, giving them access to the car’s data – which can be useful for navigation apps, for example, which can benefit from access to range data and fuel levels. It also enables you to see the app’s interface in the driver’s instrumentation panel behind the steering wheel, rather than on the central touchscreen only.

Bentley’s City Specification* is installed as standard, offering you a variety of driver assistance systems that make driving in town safer and easier. It includes a Top View Camera, Traffic Sign Recognition and Park Assist, which can help you identify and park in a suitable space. By using My Bentley Park Assist in the My Bentley smartphone app, You can even manage the manoeuvre remotely, from outside the car – something that can prove useful in tighter parking spots, especially if you have been boxed in.

The Touring Specification* is also installed, which gives you a range of features aimed at easier open road driving, including a head-up display, night vision camera, Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Guidance*.

When it comes to your comfort and wellbeing while in the car, there is LED mood lighting and, in the front two seats, the Wellness Seating Specification, which comprises Postural Adjust and Seat Auto Climate. Postural Adjust uses air pockets inside the seat to vary the pressure on your muscles as you travel, to reduce fatigue. Seat Auto Climate monitors the temperature and humidity at the seat’s surface and deploys the heating and ventilation functions within the seat in response, to keep you comfortable throughout your journey. The Bentley Signature Audio system is fitted as standard, but you can opt to upgrade to the Bang & Olufsen for Bentley system or, for the ultimate in sound quality, the 20-channel Naim for Bentley system.

* All Driver Assistance systems and Connected Car technology are subject to regional availability. Please contact your local Bentley retailer for full details.

Personalisation

The incredible specification of the Continental GT Mulliner can be enhanced even further – in fact, there is an enormous opportunity to personalise your car to your tastes.

For instance, there are seven standard exterior colours, but with the optional extended range and the satin and pearlescent finishes available from Mulliner, that number rises to over 80.

Inside, you can choose from any Bentley veneer, plus practically any feature from Bentley’s wide range of optional equipment and accessories. As well as choosing your three-colour upholstery colourway, you can select your preference from a wealth of veneers, including high-gloss wood, open pore wood or a range of technical finishes. There are also gloss-painted options to choose from, including any of four new ‘piano’ gloss-painted colours: Imperial Blue, Burnt Oak, Cricket Ball and Gravity Grey by Mulliner.

If you wish to go even further, Bentley’s personal commissioning division, Mulliner, can help you to create truly bespoke features for your car.
