Bentley Bentayga Edisi Apex oleh Mulliner – Terhad kepada 20 Unit Di Seluruh Dunia

Bentley Motors melancarkan koleksi khas yang dipanggil Bentayga Edisi Apex dan terdiri daripada hanya 20 kereta yang dibangunkan daripada bahagian Mulliner. Kereta ini direka untuk menjadikan SUV mewah Bentayga lebih menonjol, dengan ciri unik seperti roda karbon ringan dan brek seramik karbon. Terdapat enam reka bentuk berbeza untuk dipilih, setiap satu dicipta oleh pasukan reka bentuk Mulliner.

Salah satu ciri menonjol Edisi Apex ialah jalur dicat yang merentasi bonet dan bumbung, sesuatu yang belum pernah dilakukan sebelum ini di Bentayga. Pemilik Continental GT Le Mans Edition juga boleh mendapatkan Bentayga Apex Edition dengan trim dan jalur yang sepadan.

Edisi Apex berasaskan model Bentayga S, yang didatangkan dengan enjin V8 pengecas twin-scroll turbo 4.0 liter yang mengeluarkan 550PS dan 770Nm tork. Versi Bentayga ini terkenal dengan ketangkasan dan prestasinya, berkat ciri seperti Bentley Dynamic Ride dan stereng roda belakang. Roda karbon khas pada Edisi Apex membantu mengurangkan berat dan menambah baik stereng dan brek.

Terdapat enam tema berbeza untuk dipilih untuk reka bentuk luaran dan dalaman Edisi Apex. Ini membolehkan pelanggan memperibadikan kereta mereka mengikut keinginan mereka. Setiap Edisi Apex dilengkapi dengan ciri khas seperti komponen aerodinamik, sistem bunyi berkualiti tinggi dan sistem bantuan memandu.

Hanya 20 Bentaygas Edisi Apex akan dibuat, jadi mereka menawarkan peluang yang jarang berlaku kepada pelanggan untuk memiliki Bentley yang benar-benar unik. Pembeli boleh bekerjasama dengan pereka Mulliner untuk memastikan kereta mereka betul-betul seperti yang mereka inginkan, menjadikan masing-masing satu ekspresi istimewa kemewahan dan prestasi.

The Bentley Bentayga Apex Edition by Mulliner – Limited to 20 Examples Globally

Bentley Motors is introducing the Apex Edition, a limited 20-car collection under its Mulliner bespoke division, to enhance both the visual impact and dynamic ability of the Bentayga luxury SUV. This exclusive collection features ultra-strong, lightweight 22” Mulliner carbon wheels paired with carbon ceramic brakes and is offered in six unique specifications curated by Mulliner’s design team.

A central painted livery stripe extending over the bonnet and roof, a first for the Bentayga, adds to its distinctive appearance. Additionally, owners of the Continental GT Le Mans Edition will have the opportunity to commission an Apex Edition Bentayga in matching trim and livery.

Based on the Bentayga S, which boasts Bentley’s potent 4.0-litre, twin-scroll turbocharged V8 petrol engine producing 550PS and 770Nm of torque, the Apex Edition delivers enhanced agility and braking performance. With Bentley Dynamic Ride active anti-roll control and rear-wheel steering as standard, the Bentayga S offers exhilarating performance complemented by the sound of its free-flowing sports exhaust.

The Apex Edition’s 22” Mulliner carbon wheels, developed in collaboration with specialists Bucci Composites, save 24kg in unsprung mass, providing increased steering agility and more responsive braking. Carbon-Silicon-Carbide (CSiC) discs further enhance braking performance, offering a weight saving of over 20 kg compared to iron disc brakes.

Six curated themes by Mulliner offer a range of exterior finishes, livery stripes, and interior color combinations, allowing customers to personalize their Bentayga Apex Edition. Additionally, owners of the Le Mans Edition Continental GT can specify an Apex Edition Bentayga in matching livery, further enhancing exclusivity.

Each Bentayga Apex Edition comes comprehensively equipped with bespoke exterior and interior features, including the Styling Specification’s aerodynamic components in satin carbon fibre, Naim for Bentley audio system, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with Touring specification.

Bentley Motors Akan Memperkenalkan ‘Coachbuilt’ Ketiga Tidak Lama Lagi

Bentley akan mempamerkan kereta coachbuilt baharu pada 7 Mei 2024, mengikuti kereta istimewa mereka yang lain iaitu Bacalar Barchetta dan Batur coupe. Ia dibuat oleh Mulliner, pasukan khas Bentley untuk membuat kereta unik. Mereka hanya akan membuat 16 daripada kereta ini, dan ia adalah antara yang terakhir menggunakan enjin W12 Bentley yang berkuasa tinggi.

Kami tidak tahu sejauh mana kuasa kereta baharu ini, tetapi ia mungkin tidak sekuat coupe Batur yang mengeluarkan 730hp dan 1,003Nm tork.

Bentley Motors Teases Third Coachbuilt Masterpiece

Bentley Motors is set to unveil its third coachbuilt creation on May 7, 2024, following the remarkable Bacalar Barchetta and Batur coupe. Crafted by Mulliner, Bentley’s renowned in-house bespoke division with a rich heritage in coachbuilding, this new addition to the exclusive family of Bentleys will uphold Mulliner’s tradition of creating truly unique cars tailored to the desires of its discerning clientele.

Limited to just 16 units, this new coachbuilt Bentley will be among the final units to be powered by Bentley’s iconic W12 engine, featuring its most potent iteration.

While specifics on the power output of this new creation have not been revealed, it’s anticipated that it may not match the 730hp and 1,003Nm of torque seen in the Batur coupe. Instead, output could align more closely with the 650hp of the Speed Edition 12 model.

Bentley first introduced the W-12 engine in 2003 with the debut of the first-generation Continental GT. With production coming to a close this year, Bentley estimates that over 105,000 examples of this engine will have been produced. While Bentley has yet to announce the powertrain that will succeed the W-12, speculation suggests a plug-in hybrid configuration featuring a turbocharged V-8.

Looking towards the future, Bentley envisions a transition from plug-in hybrids to electric vehicles (EVs), albeit with a revised timeline after postponing its previous goal of completing this shift by the decade’s end. The automaker now aims to debut its inaugural EV in 2026. Given the resounding success of past offerings like the Bacalar and Batur, which sold out swiftly, there’s ample potential for coachbuilt Bentleys to thrive in the forthcoming EV era.

Mulliner, bahagian khas Bentley untuk kereta buatan sendiri, sedang mencipta Speed Six pelanggan pertama dengan teliti dalam masa yang lama, yang merupakan detik besar untuk peminat dan pengumpul.

Projek ini adalah kerjasama khas antara pakar British dalam kejuruteraan dan pemulihan, bersama-sama dengan juruteknik mahir Mulliner. Mereka merancang untuk membuat dua belas kereta Speed Six baharu, semuanya dibina dengan bahan dan teknik yang sama yang digunakan dalam reka bentuk asal oleh W.O. Bentley.

Selepas kejayaan menghasilkan dua belas kereta Bentley 4½ Liter Supercharged ‘Blower’, Bentley memutuskan untuk mengekalkan tradisi dengan Siri Sambungan Speed Six. Kesemua dua belas kereta telah dijual, menunjukkan betapa ramai orang menantikannya. Pelanggan juga boleh memilih kemasan dan bahan khusus untuk kereta mereka, menjadikan setiap satu unik.

Syarikat seperti Portobello Engineering dan Lomax Coachbuilders sedang membuat casis dan badan dengan teliti, manakala Mulliner menyatukan segala-galanya dan menutup badan dalam fabrik yang sama yang digunakan dalam reka bentuk asal.

Setiap bahagian Speed Six, daripada lampu depan ke enjin, dibuat dengan teliti. Mereka juga mencipta semula reka bentuk enjin daripada kereta asal Speed Six, terima kasih kepada syarikat seperti Kingsbury Racing Shop Limited dan Tom Dark Engineering.

Kereta Speed Six baharu ini diilhamkan oleh dua kereta asal terkenal: Speed Six milik Bentley, GU409, dan ‘Old Number 3’, sebuah Speed Six yang berlumba dalam perlumbaan 24 Jam Le Mans 1930. Dengan menggunakan data daripada kereta ini, mereka memastikan yang baharu adalah setulen yang mungkin.

Speed Six mempunyai sejarah legenda dalam perlumbaan, terutamanya pada perlumbaan 24 Jam Le Mans. Reputasinya untuk kelajuan, prestasi dan gaya menjadikannya klasik abadi yang disukai oleh peminat kereta di seluruh dunia.

Reviving Legends: The Bentley Speed Six Continuation Series

Meanwhile, Lomax Coachbuilders in Ludlow meticulously handcrafts the ash frame for the Speed Six body using traditional coachbuilding tools and techniques. Once united with the chassis at Mulliner workshops, the body is clad in period-correct Rexine fabric to create the iconic Weymann-style open tourer bodywork.

Kingsbury Racing Shop Limited, in collaboration with Tom Dark Engineering, fabricates over 600 individual parts for the new 6½ Litre race specification engine, meticulously recreating the advanced design of the original Speed Six engine.

The Speed Six Continuation Series takes inspiration from two original Speed Sixes: the company’s own Speed Six, GU409, and ‘Old Number 3’, a works Speed Six driven in the 1930 Le Mans 24 Hour race. These iconic models provided invaluable data on dimensions, materials, and components, ensuring the utmost authenticity in the Continuation Series.

With its unparalleled combination of speed, performance, and elegance, the Speed Six Continuation Series pays homage to a timeless icon that continues to captivate automotive enthusiasts worldwide.

Final Bentley Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase Joins Heritage Collection

Bentley Motors has added a bespoke 2020 Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase to its Heritage Collection, marking the final example of the Mulsanne handcrafted at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe. This particular Mulsanne was commissioned for the late Queen Elizabeth II and includes various custom features for royal duties. The exterior is in solid Barnato green, paired with an interior in Twine and Cumbrian hide, Burr Walnut wood veneers, and deep lambswool carpets.

The specifications include rear privacy curtains, the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom inlaid into the door waistrails, and a custom-sized tray to accommodate the Queen’s handbag, replacing the front center armrests. Additionally, discreetly concealed blue police lights, a siren, and a bullhorn were installed, with a dedicated switch panel hidden behind a walnut-veneered door.

The car is powered by Bentley’s famous 537PS 6.75-litre V8 engine, rides on 21” alloy wheels, and features chrome brightware for the grille and front wing vents, along with the iconic Flying B. This Mulsanne will be the third and final one in Bentley’s Heritage Collection, joining the second Mulsanne ever built and a 2019 Mulsanne Speed that previously served on Bentley’s press fleet.

The Mulsanne, initially launched in 2009, underwent several updates during its production, with the final 30 series production cars forming the unique ‘6.75 Edition by Mulliner’ in 2020. The name was derived from the car’s legendary 6.75-litre engine, which also came to the end of production after more than 60 years. The Heritage Collection is part of Bentley’s broader effort to rebuild its family of cars, covering the brand’s 104-year history.

The collection includes 37 road-registered, road-legal cars that represent Bentley’s development over its 104-year history. In addition, eight motorsport and record-breaking vehicles are featured, including three Speed 8s, both generations of Continental GT3, and cars used for Pikes Peak and Ice Speed Records.

All the cars in the Heritage Collection are meticulously maintained and displayed at Bentley’s carbon-neutral Dream Factory in Crewe, England. Visitors, including customers, VIPs, media guests, and Bentley colleagues, can explore the brand’s rich history through the Collection as part of the factory tour experience.
