Bentley launches the Continental GT Mulliner Convertible

Bentley Mulliner - Bentley's bespoke commissioning division - has introduced the new Continental GT Mulliner Convertible.

Taking pride of position between the cut-crystal inspired, precision-made headlamps, Bentley Mulliner introduces a bold new Double Diamond front grille on the convertible, which is further complemented by bespoke Mulliner branded side vents that continue the unique silver on black diamond theme.

The new Double Diamond design has been inspired by Bentley's exclusive Diamond-in-Diamond interior quilting design, which adorns all four seats, the door casings, rear quarters and now for the first time furnishes the tonneau cover.

The interior quilting itself has been tailored to include contrast stitching in two complementary colours to accentuate the thread against the quilting. Each diamond contains exactly 712 individual stitches, and each one is precisely aligned to point to the centre of the diamond it creates.

Furnishing the sleek and muscular profile of the Continental GT Mulliner Convertible are all new 22-inch 10-spoke painted and polished wheels with floating, self-levelling wheel badges that remain upright as the wheel rotates.

A contrast diamond milled technical finish has been applied to the centre console of the convertible, while a brushed silver Breitling timepiece is set within a quartet of chrome bullseyes to provide stunning interior jewellery.

The same theme carries to the precision-rendered gauges of the LED-display driver's instrument panel, which use the same brushed finish and Mulliner branding.

The new Continental GT Mulliner Convertible features mood lighting comprising of seven different themes, uplifted by illuminated Mulliner tread plates and LED welcome lamps that project the famous Bentley wings to the ground from the door mirrors.

The Continental GT Mulliner Convertible is also available with the Naim for Bentley audio system. The state-of-the-art setup features eighteen speakers and two Active Bass transducers driven by a 2,200W, 20-channel amplifier and eight Digital Sound Processor sound modes with Active Bass.

Customers of the Continental GT Mulliner Convertible will receive a leather key in a sumptuous, Mulliner-branded handcrafted presentation box which matches the three-colour interior configuration of the car. The two keys are provided in similarly colour-matched cases with contrast stitching.

The Continental GT Mulliner Convertible will be available with Bentley's V8 and W12 powertrains.

When equipped with Bentley's 6.0-litre, twin-turbocharged W12, the Continental GT Mulliner Convertible accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 3.8 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 333km/h. The 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 delivers a top speed of 318km/h and a zero to 100 km/h sprint time of 4.1 seconds.

Available in the extended Bentley Mulliner paint range of 61 colours, customers wishing to specify their Continental GT Mulliner Convertible in a bespoke shade can commission Bentley's artisan paint specialists to colour-match to any item or sample.

The first example of the exquisite Continental GT Mulliner Convertible will make its global debut at the Geneva International Motor Show on 3 March 2020.
