The Continental GT Mulliner coupe makes its Salon Prive debut

The Continental GT Mulliner coupe has made its global debut ahead of the start of Salon Prive at the grounds of Blenheim Palace in the U.K.

The car will be displayed at the event alongside the Bentley Mulliner Bacalar, also making its public debut, and an as-yet-unannounced example of the Mulliner Classic portfolio.

A suite of exclusive exterior design features separate the Continental GT Mulliner from the rest of the Continental GT family.

At the front, the new 'Double Diamond' matrix grille defines the new Mulliner signature style, complemented by matching front fender vents echoing the same silver and black design and with chromed Mulliner branding.

Approaching and opening either doors reveals the other Mulliner design features, including Satin Silver mirror caps with Mulliner Welcome Lamps beneath, and illuminated outer door sills with Mulliner text.

The car sits on new and unique 22-inch Mulliner wheels, with a bespoke design of elegant beauty in a painted and polished finish. The centre badge of each wheel is self-levelling, keeping the iconic Bentley 'B' upright at all times.

The unique colour split of the cabin is also exclusive to the Continental GT Mulliner coupe, with a new combination of primary and secondary hide joined by a third colour through a flowing design line.

Eight different three-colour combinations are proposed by Mulliner, using Bentley's palette of hides and threads to create striking yet elegant contrast throughout the cabin.

The Mulliner Driving Specification is fitted as standard, bringing the 'Diamond in Diamond' quilting to the seats, doors trims and rear quarter panels, now with both contrast and accent stitching running through the design.

The centre console is dressed in a new diamond milled technical finish that uses precision machining to form a perfect pattern of facets, flanked either side by Grand Black walnut veneer with chrome overlays.

A unique Breitling clock sits in the centre of the console, while the passenger side fascia is finished with a silhouette of the car's exterior profile and the Mulliner logo. The veneer flows into the doors, where it is completed by a discreet Bentley 'B' motif.

Customers of the Continental GT Mulliner can choose either Bentley's iconic 6.0-litre W12 powertrain delivering 626bhp, or the 4.0-litre V8 offering 542bhp, for a level of performance to juxtapose the car's handcrafted luxury.

Orders for both coupe and convertible versions of the Continental GT Mulliner will be taken from October, with first deliveries beginning early next year.

Customers of the Continental GT Mulliner will receive the keys to their car in a bespoke, Mulliner-branded and handcrafted presentation box containing individual leather pouches matching the three-colour interior configuration of their car.
