We drove other luxury SUVs here and limousines here.
The Mulsanne W.O. Edition by Mulliner pays homage to W.O. Bentley’s famous 1930 design and incorporates a genuine slice of crankshaft from the founder’s own personal car.
It is a true collector’s item. It makes its global public debut as the centrepiece of Bentley’s wide-ranging presence at one of the world’s most glamorous motoring occasions.
It can also be viewed on August 24 at the Quail: A Motorsports Gathering. On August 26 at the Concept Lawn, its inspiration, the 8-Litre, at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will also make an appreance.
It will be joined by two new versions of the Bentley Bentayga, the world’s most luxurious SUV.
Once, Bentley and Rolls Royce cars were identical but for their badges. The split came in the early 21st century as BMW completed the purchase of Rolls Royce Motor Cars, with Bentley going to the VW Group.
The distinct designs can now be seen with Bentley models having a sports focus and Rolls Royce continuing their luxury line.
Both companies have existed since the dawn of automobiles.
