By the Numbers
Five Bentley Grand Mulsanne megaliner limousines were commissioned in 2015 for a customer in the United Arab Emirates. The lavishly equipped cars, all unique in their bespoke upgrades, were built and shipped but never used nor registered. Now they are for sale.
The Grand Mulsanne Limousine was originally created for exclusive sales, or private commissions, in Bentley terms. The cars offered for sale were customized by Bentley Mulliner, the bespoke tailoring shop for the brand, headquartered in Crewe, England.
The five Grand Limousines recently became available through Bentley’s retail partner in the United Arab Emirates, Bentley Emirates. A car can be delivered anywhere in the world, Bentley says.
Production of the Mulsanne ceased last year, so these models represent a unique chance to acquire an iconic piece of modern Bentley history. Pricing was not disclosed, but it is not difficult to spend $500,000 for the long-wheelbase sedan with Bentley options.
The cars available for sale have their own unique identities and specifications, Bentley says. Designed and built entirely by hand, the Mulsanne Grand Limousine by Mulliner includes a nearly 40-inch stretch (1,000mm) to the body. The roof was raised a little more than 3 inches for headroom in the rear.

The Cabin of a Luxury Jet
The Mulsanne Grand Limousine’s four-passenger cabin has the cache of a luxury jet. Two rear-facing seats allow pleasant face-to-face conversations.
A bottle cooler with crystal flutes sits between the front-facing seats. And a beverage cabinet between the rear-facing seats is stocked with bespoke crystal tumblers. Veneered, folding “picnic tables” provide comfortable on the move work or dining. iPad docking and charging stations are included. Three handmade dials display UK and local time and the exterior temperature.
The more-expansive limousine also required a custom heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. Bentley Mulliner designed and built the HVAC system with two rear-seat zones with controls for micro-climate comfort.
Privacy is assured between the driver and passengers by an electrochromic “smart glass” panel that can be switched from transparent to opaque. In addition, an intercom system connects passengers with the driver.

By the Numbers
The Mulsanne Grand Limousine is the longest manufacturer-built limousine in the world, Bentley claims. The stretched model is about 25 feet long and sits on a reinforced chassis and suspension.
Power is provided by Bentley’s 505-horsepower 6¾-liter twin-turbo V-8, with 752 foot-pounds of peak torque at 1,750 rpm.
The unique 21-inch wheels are paint-matched to the car’s exterior color. And the stainless-steel Flying ‘B’ bonnet mascot is engraved with the words “Coachbuilt by Mulliner.”

The higher roof and extra length provide the Mulsanne Grand Limousine a true sense of space in which to relax, Bentley says.
