Bentley Mulliner raises the bar for luxury
open-top Grand Touring with the new
Continental GT Mulliner Convertible.
Bentley Mulliner - Bentley’s bespoke
commissioning division - is today announcing
the introduction of the new Continental GT
Mulliner Convertible: the luxury pinnacle of
the Continental GT family.
Mulliner has gone above and beyond
the
industry-leading
craftsmanship
so synonymous with Bentley and the
world’s definitive Grand Tourer to create
the Continental GT Mulliner Convertible
and redefine the pinnacle of roof-down
automotive luxury.
The new Continental GT Mulliner
Convertible has been created to appeal to
those customers wanting an even greater
focus on beautiful details. Taking pride of
position between the cut-crystal inspired,
precision-made headlamps, Bentley Mulliner
introduces a bold new Double Diamond
front grille which is further complemented
by bespoke Mulliner branded side vents that
continue the unique silver on black diamond
theme.
The new Double Diamond design
has been inspired by Bentley’s exclusive
Diamond-in-Diamond interior quilting
design concept, which adorns all four seats,
the door casings, rear quarters and now for
the first time furnishes the tonneau cover.
The Diamond-in-Diamond interior quilting
itself has been tailored to include contrast
stitching in two complementary colours to
accentuate the thread against the quilting. It
takes almost 400,000 stitches to deliver this

quilting across the cabin of the car, with each
diamond containing exactly 712 individual
stitches – each one precisely aligned to
point to the centre of the diamond it
creates. Developing the embroidery process
to deliver this process alone took 18 months.
Furnishing the sleek and muscular
profile of the Continental GT Mulliner
Convertible are all-new 22” 10-spoke painted
& polished wheels with floating, self-levelling
wheel badges that remain upright as the
wheel rotates.
The ultimate handcrafted Continental
GT Convertible interior offers eight custom-
made three-colour combinations. A new
Mulliner-designed colour split defines
the eight colour ways, including a third
accent colour to the interior in the form of
a distinctive design line. The hand-stitched
hides are embellished with unique Mulliner
branded embroidery.
Bentley Mulliner has combined
traditional and modern coachbuilding
techniques to introduce new contemporary
and bespoke features. A contrast diamond
milled technical finish has been applied to
the centre console, which is finished with a
new and exclusive brushed silver Breitling
timepiece set within a quartet of chrome
bullseyes to provide stunning interior
jewellery. The same theme carries from the
physical to the digital, with the precision-
rendered gauges of the LED-display driver’s
instrument panel using the same brushed
finished and Mulliner branding.
