The body is made of a new plant at the headquarters of Bentley at Crewe, where the traditional metal skills, developed over six decades, is still widespread in the process of construction of nine weeks. It is the opposite of mass production car built ... but the very essence of Bentley.
Mirrors, for example, completely enveloped the body. This offers a flowing, flawless line of the rear of the car, a perfect complement to become the D-pillar - with the complex curves can be created by a qualified body shop. All spot welds are made by hand during the Bentley Mulsanne, and the construction of all the panel joints are welded by hand. These continue to improve this "solid appearance cut 'and leads to a very rigid.
The complex form of aluminum fenders, impossible to achieve with normal printing techniques, are created using superforming, a technology usually reserved for the aerospace industry. It also makes wings both lighter, stiffer and gives a superb surface definition. Other lightweight materials such as composite bootlid, which is used to remove the mass, if possible without compromising quality.

Stainless steel brightware glitters so perfectly, thanks to an intense 10 hours of finishing. Wood veneer takes two weeks to turn the big root ball in a full range of mirror matched, finely ground leaves.
Re-engineered V8 engine and a new beginning: 's, refined power and effectiveness of
Bentley's engineers were powertrain set three goals for the Bentley Mulsanne:
To produce the pair effortlessly plan very low that customers expect a great Bentley
To maintain the highest levels of refinement
To meet current environmental standards and future through a more efficient motor
While other powertrain configurations have been considered at an early stage in the project, it soon became clear that these objectives can be achieved with a completely revised version of the 6 ¾-liter V8 - the configuration that was used with great success in the past. But for the new Bentley Mulsanne, all the major building blocks of the engine must be comprehensive redesigned to incorporate new technologies.
Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn, Bentley Motors engineering director, explains the reasons behind the V8 in the Bentley Mulsanne. "With our guaranteed the huge V8 power at low speeds and performance are the characteristics of unstressed a beacon of Bentley, but we also put our challenge engineers to maintain a high level of sophistication at any speed, and equally important, improving efficiency.
