| 2011 Bentley Mulsanne Executive Interior Concept |
Move over, Range Rover Autobiography! I've never seen a Bentley Mulsanne interior like this, and it made me super jealous to see such a thing!
Called the Mulsanne Executive Interior Concept, this Mulsanne is fully armed with several concepts fit enough for a boss to work while getting stuck at traffic.
Wish to have it but it's a concept version. Let's hope that Bentley made a production version of the Mulsanne Executive Interior because of, these cool gadgets!
PRESS RELEASE:
CONNECTIVITY MEETS CRAFTSMANSHIP
Bentley Mulsanne Executive Interior Concept debuts at International Automobile Exhibition (IAA) in Frankfurt
(Frankfurt. 13 September 2011) Bentley Motors is showcasing a new multimedia connectivity concept designed for executives inside the luxurious, hand-crafted cabin of the company's Mulsanne flagship at the 2011 Frankfurt Show (Stand A09, Hall 3).
The Mulsanne Executive Interior Concept offers an impressive array of bespoke business, comfort and entertainment features - designed to conduct business on the move or just unwind between meetings - all beautifully integrated into the sumptuous and comfortable cabin which takes Bentley's craftsmen and women over 170 hours to create.
Mulsanne rear passengers receive individual Apple iPad workstations with full internet access (integrated into retractable picnic tables) whilst a large, drop-down LED screen ensures that a wide selection of movies as well as television can also be enjoyed.
Renowned for its painstaking attention to detail, Bentley has added a range of finishing touches including a Tibaldi fountain pen from its specially commissioned Collection which is designed to mirror the Mulsanne's knurled-metal rotary switchgear and which is discretely stowed in the centre armrest. And seen on a Bentley for the first time, a distinctive Yachting-style veneer, which blends light and dark contrasting tones, features throughout the cabin. Comments Alasdair Stewart, Member of the Board for Sales & Marketing:
"Many customers use their time in the Mulsanne to keep on top of their business commitments or simply take a few moments to relax. This fully functioning concept highlights the Mulsanne's potential to help busy executives to communicate effectively and quickly whilst travelling. As you would expect from Bentley, all these features work in harmony with the handcrafted cabin and can be displayed or hidden at the user's discretion,"
