Bentley Mulliner Bacalar Is Topless British Luxury At Its Best

这些都是相当令人钦佩,但现在,弯曲ley remains an icon of conspicuous consumption. To that end, the Bentley Mulliner Bacalar boasts a 650-horsepower twin-turbocharged 6.0L W12 engine, 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, and active AWD, capable of vectoring torque between the front and rear axles as needed. The system favors the rear axle under most regular conditions, maximizing efficiency and delivering superior driving dynamics.

一个esthetically, the Bentley Mulliner Bacalar again borrows from the EXP 100 GT, flaunting a similarly evocative design that shares no exterior body panels with any series-production Bentley model. In fact, the only exterior component shared with one of the more common Bentley models is the door handles, which were borrowed from theBentley Continental GT.

Inside the cabin, Bentley Mulliner's designers were allowed to showcase their keen attention to detail with a unique new knurled pattern repeated throughout on components like the bullseye air vents, speaker frets, and center console controls. Dark Bronze and Midnight Black Titanium details add further complexity, and on the first demonstration car, a mix of Bentley's semi-gloss leather, fine Beluga leather, and natural wool create what Mulliner calls a "dark tone-on-tone character." The effect is understated, and yet dramatic.

Bentley Chairman and CEO Adrian Hallmark summarized the Bacalar best, calling the car "a rare and remarkable Bentley," and the company's "ultimate expression of an open-top, luxury grand tourer, and of the immense capabilities of our team in Crewe."
