– The refreshed Bentley model lineup is crowned by a truly exceptional new version of the Continental GT Mulliner, which stands at the pinnacle of the Continental family and Bentley’s high-performance Grand Tourer range. With enhancements to both its W12 engine and the advanced shared chassis with the GT Speed, the GT Mulliner W12 emerges as the most powerful, fastest, dynamic, and luxurious Continental GT ever built.
The new GT Mulliner W12 draws the best elements from every world to create the ultimate Continental GT—blending the performance and dynamics of the Speed, the refined comfort of the recently unveiled Azure, and the artistic craftsmanship and distinctive touch of Mulliner’s hand-built heritage. The handcrafted W12 TFSI engine, manufactured at Bentley’s carbon-neutral facility in Crewe, England, delivers 650 horsepower (659 PS), enabling a top speed of 335 km/h and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. Electronic All-Wheel Steering further enhances the dynamic character of the Continental GT Mulliner W12 across all driving modes. The unique 22-inch Mulliner wheels feature self-balancing emblems that ensure Bentley’s iconic ‘B’ badge remains perfectly upright at all times.
The interior of the Continental GT Mulliner W12 exudes luxury in its finest form, showcasing levels of customization only Mulliner can deliver. It features exclusive color combinations specially designed for this model, with a fresh integration of primary and secondary trim elements complemented by a third accent color through a flowing design motif. Customers can choose from 88 different piano-black wood veneers, offering endless possibilities for personalization.
Customers can also select their own custom color schemes or personalize interior finishes using Bentley’s full range of leather colors, wood trims, and exquisite embroidery options.
The Mulliner Driving Specification package comes standard, featuring the signature 'diamond within a diamond' embroidery on seats, door panels, and rear quarter panels, now enhanced with contrasting, decorative stitching that highlights the intricate diamond pattern. These bespoke interior embroideries require approximately 400,000 stitches to complete, with each diamond precisely made of exactly 712 individual stitches—each meticulously aligned with the central point of the diamond. This embroidery technique alone took nearly 18 months to develop.
Externally, a suite of exclusive design features sets the Continental GT Mulliner apart from the rest of the family. At the front, a new mesh grille with a double-diamond pattern establishes Mulliner’s new visual identity, complemented by air intakes echoing the same silver-and-black design, along with distinctive Mulliner badges.
The GT lineup now includes multiple variants, each tailored to distinct preferences, making customer choices more intuitive. The Azure series is ideal for those prioritizing wellness and comfort in a vehicle. For drivers seeking pure driving pleasure, the new GT S with its V8 engine offers customizable options. As a further evolution, the Speed with its W12 engine is the perfect choice for enthusiasts who demand exceptional dynamics without compromising on luxury and high-performance capabilities. And above all, there is Mulliner.
The Continental GT Mulliner W12 represents the perfect fusion of elite craftsmanship and high performance. Available in both coupe and convertible body styles, it embodies the absolute zenith of what Bentley knows about crafting the world’s finest luxury high-performance cars. For those desiring Mulliner’s hallmark elegance and comfort but with a V8-powered character, the Continental GT Mulliner V8 remains available upon request.
