Bentley is enhancing its new lineups at Auto China 2016 with the global debut of the First Edition, limited to 50 units in total, for the three latest members of the Mulsanne family.

Handcrafted in Crewe and featuring a suite of style revisions, Bentley's new lineup includes the Mulsanne, the performance-focused Mulsanne Speed and ultra-luxurious Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase with enhanced rear passenger space.

A bespoke Mulliner sterling silver vanity kit inlaid into the rear picnic table is available on the Mulsanne First Edition. The kit, created by Asprey of London, includes a vanity mirror, hair brush and comb, fitting into a Mulliner-designed picnic table for stowage.

First Edition decorations are positioned throughout the cabin, including a diametric overlay on the rear seat picnic tables, tread plates and Union Jack-inspired First Edition embroidery on the seats.

Each Mulsanne First Edition features a engraved Bentley 'Flying B' bonnet ornament and can be ordered with a champagne cooler.

The Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase First Edition features a ripple-patterned Fulbeck veneer sourced from a 350-year-old English walnut tree. The other Mulsanne First Edition models are available with a unique Antique Ash veneer.

An additional 250 mm is added to the rear legroom in the new model. It offers an air-travel experience for the road and is designed for customers preferring being chauffeured.
