CTOnews.com, August 21 (Xinhua)-- the Bentley brand recently released the Mulliner version of the longer wheelbase. As the flagship new version of the Tim Yue series and even the entire Bentley series, the model adds more sophisticated craftsmanship to the long wheelbase version, which starts at 254000 pounds (CTOnews.com Note: about 2.362 million yuan) in the UK.

The Mulliner customization department of Bentley has carefully designed a number of exclusive features for the inside and outside of the car. The rear cabin offers two layouts of 4 seats and 4 seats, standard Bentley Aviation Class seat Kit (Bentley Airline Seat Specification), and Mulliner comfortable diamond quilting (Harmony Diamond Quilt) on seats and doors to create an exquisite atmosphere of the entire cockpit interior.

The Tian Yue long wheelbase Mulliner version is equipped with a Bentley 4.0L V8 twin-turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 550hp, a peak torque of 770Nm, a top speed of 290km / h and a 100km acceleration time of 4.6s. The chassis of the new car is equipped with Bentley dynamic driving system (48V active anti-roll control system), all-wheel steering function and three-chamber air spring, and officials say its dynamic performance is comparable to that of the shoulder-to-shoulder standard wheelbase version.

The longer wheelbase MULLINER design details include polished or gray polished Mulliner exclusive 22-inch wheels, equipped with a self-official hub cover that keeps the logo on the hub cover at rest while the vehicle is moving.

In addition, customers can choose Mulliner dazzling black kit (Blackline Specification) after the launch of the new car. The kit replaces all the chrome trims in the body appearance except the Bentley logo and the exterior rearview mirror shell with the same bright black trim, together with 22-inch bright black Mulliner wheels to create a dark and deep look.

Entering the long wheelbase Mulliner version of Bentley's cockpit, the first thing you can see are Mulliner 3D illuminated doorside pedals and Mulliner dark suede carpet. The cockpit interior offers eight tricolor options carefully designed by the Mulliner team. The three colors in the color scheme are used in main leather, auxiliary leather and accentuated leather, which is the iconic exclusive configuration carefully designed by Mulliner for the flagship models of Bentley.

The eight tricolor schemes correspond to their respective themes, including "Flare", which consists of Hotspur, Beluga and Linen, and "Storm", which consists of dark blue, black and white emphasis colors that cut through the night sky. In addition, customers can choose any three colors to customize the Mulliner color scheme for their Bentley interior, with a total of nearly 4000 color combinations.

The seat leather is decorated with delicate Mulliner comfortable diamond quilting patterns, consisting of crisscross lines of auxiliary leather and accent colors, as well as Mulliner embroidery on the seat surface. The door is decorated with staggered lines of main leather and accent colors.

The longer wheelbase Mulliner version of Bentley's cockpit uses olive tanned leather in many places. This leather is unique in that its tanning process uses tanning agents made from organic by-products of olive oil industry, which is in line with the concept of sustainability. This tanning preparation is extracted from the waste water from the olive pressing process and does not contain harmful metals, minerals and aldehydes. The water consumption of this process is also lower than that of the traditional tanning process, and can produce recyclable chemicals with higher concentration.

Whether customers choose 4 seats or 4'1 seats, the longer wheelbase Mulliner version comes standard with Bentley aviation-grade seat kit. The seat kit has a 22-way adjustable function and has the world's first automatic temperature sensing and comfortable massage function. In Relax mode mode, the seat tilts back to nearly 40 degrees, while the copilot seat moves forward at the same time, extending outward from the base behind the front seat with a beautifully leather-edged foot rest pedal. When switching to business mode (Business mode), the rear seats return to an upright position, providing a more comfortable office space in the car. The automatic temperature sensing function can sense the passenger's body temperature and surface humidity, and then automatically adjust the heating and ventilation function of the seat to ensure that passengers maintain a comfortable and pleasant ride.

The comfortable massage function is equipped with a highly sensitive new massage airbag, which can sense the pressure changes in the passengers' legs, shoulders and waist, so as to fine-tune the surface outline of the seat to relieve the pressure and fatigue of the passengers. Compared with the plane massage seat, the system uses three-dimensional massage to better relieve the pressure point. The six independent pressure-bearing areas of the seat can be adjusted 177 times in three hours to ensure that the comfort of the seat remains unchanged regardless of the length of the journey.

Another highlight of the longer wheelbase Mulliner version is the elegant Bentley streamer rhomboid kit (Bentley Diamond Illumination). In order to create an exquisite lighting atmosphere in the car, there are 12 LED light groups in the front door and 22 in the rear door. The atmosphere light in the car is transmitted through the perforated gap in the leather panel of the door. Customers can control the brightness and color of the light through the infotainment system and touch screen remote control.

The Mulliner version also comes with a rear wheel steering system that makes its turning radius 7 per cent smaller than the standard wheelbase.

Mulliner has become an integral part of Bentley's business: its return on sales rose to 20.9% last year, up from 13.7% in 2021. Bentley attributes this to customers' choice of higher-specification models, such as the Mulliner and Speed versions, as well as higher option rates. Bentley broke its all-time profit record in 2022, thanks to these factors and record sales of 15174 vehicles.
