The Mulsanne build story concludes with a range of
exhaustive real world tests and checks that underline
Bentley’s total commitment to the quality of its new flagship.
Whilst quality checks are fundamental to every stage of
the Mulsanne’s build, it is at the penultimate sign-off stage
‘Checkpoint 7’ that the complete car is given the most
rigorous examination possible. Every Mulsanne must pass
through 503 individual checks conducted by Donna Morrey
and her inspectors from the Quality team.
The inspection lasts a full two hours and features all of the
functional measures you’d expect of a modern automotive
plant but with key two critical differences; Bentley reviews
every single Mulsanne, without exception, and the inspection
team sets the most exacting standards of quality which are
commensurate with a flagship model at the pinnacle of the
ultra-luxury segment.
“New colleagues are sometimes surprised by the lengths
we go to and have been honest enough to admit that what
we consider an issue would not register at another facility.”
Donna Morrey explains.
B E N T L E Y M U L S A N N E T E S T I N G A N D S I G N - O F F
Jardine Motors | Page 13
Whilst checking that every function works (first time, every time and on every
car) Donna’s team is also tasked with looking beyond the merely operational. In
her own words the team will also act as the ‘hands and eyes of the customer’
and a skilled inspector has a natural empathy for the car and how it should look
and feel. Morrey adds:
After testing on the shake rig and rolling road, every Mulsanne completes a
rigorous on-road evaluation. Jason Davies and his colleagues have an in-depth
knowledge of the roads surrounding Bentley’s headquarters and the 21-mile
route has been chosen to assess the Mulsanne’s engine performance, ride
quality and cabin refinement. Morrey comments:
“Jason and his team have one of the most enviable jobs at the factory but
their work involves something far more important than completing some
basic checks and enjoying a drive. Each Mulsanne is driven on a wide range of
carefully selected roads offering variations in camber and surface quality.
Road types range from narrow English country lanes to fast dual carriageways,
allowing the car to be comprehensively evaluated.”
Once the car returns to the Pyms Lane factory it enters a special test facility
that simulates monsoon-like weather conditions to ensure that it is completely
watertight before heading for the very final sign-off stage – ‘Checkpoint 8’.
Here, the car progresses through a long line of ultra-bright overhead and side
lights (nicknamed the ‘shipping lane’) which enables the Quality team to inspect
every surface in the most minute detail.
During the critical pre-production stage senior Bentley managers from right
across the business join the vehicle review at ‘Checkpoint 8’ to examine the
culmination of their efforts, despite having previously completed hundreds of
their own checks.
“The way all the teams come together to view the pre-production models demonstrates just how much genuine pride goes into the building of these very first cars,”
We are keen participants in the Bentley Motors Limited Approved
Pre-Owned programme. Rigorous mechanical checks are carried
out on every vehicle in our fully equipped workshops and an
online inspection confirms the mileage and previous ownership
history. So when you choose a Bentley from our select stock,
you can be assured of the vehicle’s complete integrity.
The Bentley Approved Pre-Owned programme provides some unique
benefits to customers not offered by other manufacturers and can truly
be considered ‘best in class’, befitting the marque.
Every car retailed under the programme comes with an
enhanced proposition for customers, including comprehensive
warranties, demonstrating the company’s commitment
to its cars and leaving the customer with peace of mind.

The Continental Supersports Convertible further strengthens
Bentley’s supercar range, following the introduction of the Continental
Supersports Coupé in 2009. The new Supersports Convertible, with the
same 630PS (621bhp/463kW) twin-turbocharged W12 engine, is the
fastest, most potent drop-top Bentley has ever built, offering the ultimate
Bentley driving experience in the world’s most dramatic convertible.
■The standardisation of pioneering FlexFuel technology across
the 2011 Continental model range reaffirms Bentley’s on-going
environmental commitment to make all its cars biofuel-compatible
by 2012.
The inspiration for the ‘Supersports’ name is the 1925 Bentley
Supersports, a race-bred version of the iconic Bentley 3-litre, that
delivered 85bhp when more ordinary cars were equipped with a
modest 15bhp. It was also the first production car to reach 100mph
– extreme performance in its day.
The new, muscular four-seat Supersports Convertible is unmistakably
Bentley in its design and craftsmanship but its interior signifies a
dramatic re-interpretation of Bentley luxury. Satin-finished carbon
fibre, Alcantara™ and ‘Soft Grip’ leather create a unique ambience
with a distinctly sporting and contemporary style.
All models in the Continental model range, including the new
Supersports Convertible are now capable of running on both
petrol (gasoline) and E85 bioethanol or any combination of the two,
reaffirming Bentley’s ongoing commitment to make all its cars bio-
fuel compatible by 2012. Pioneered by the Supersports Coupe, this
FlexFuel technology offers a reduction of up to 70 per cent in CO2
emissions on a ‘well-to-wheel’ basis, a measure of a fuel’s net
contribution to the atmosphere, not just tailpipe emissions.
To ensure seamless power delivery, the on-board fuel supply
system detects the blending ratio of the fuel in the tank and
ensures that power and torque remain constant regardless of the
ratio of petrol to biofuel.
Bentley Chairman and Chief Executive Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen
welcomes the new addition to the Bentley range, as well as
the standardisation of the FlexFuel W12 engine on all 2011
Continental models:
“The new Supersports Convertible blends thrilling performance
and dramatic styling with luxury and practicality in the Bentley
open-top tradition. Extreme power combines with pioneering
FlexFuel technology, now shared with all Continental models,
reflecting Bentley’s ongoing commitment to more environmental
motoring.”
B E N T L E Y H I S TO RY
B E N T L E Y H I S TO RY
Bentley was founded by Walter Owen Bentley, known to all as
‘W.O.’ He was a born engineer, but his first experience was not
with motor cars - it was trains. In 1905, aged 16, he set off on his
bicycle to work at the Great Northern Railway Locomotive Works
in Doncaster, northern England.
Off duty, he soon abandoned the push-bike in favour of motor
cycling and with his brother took to racing. In their first event,
the London to Edinburgh Trial, they won a gold medal. W.O. raced
at the Isle of Man TT event and at Brooklands race track, near
London.
The internal combustion engine made sweeter music to his ears
than steam trains and in 1912 Bentley’s family found funds enough
to buy a small company importing French DFP sports cars.
On a visit to the DFP factory in 1913, W.O. happened to notice
an aluminium paperweight on somebody’s desk. It gave him the
idea of using the lightweight metal in place of cast iron to make
engine pistons.
The first such Bentley pistons went into service in aero engines for
W.O
. Bentley
the Sopwith Camel during the Great War but when the fighting was over
W.O. set about development of a racing engine - Experimental Bentley No 1.
“I wanted to make a fast car, a good car - the best in its class”, and he did.
In the 1920s, with the 3 litre, 85bhp engine providing speeds of 80 mph
and more, Bentley Motors set numerous speed and endurance records,
competed successfully at Indianapolis, the Isle of Man TT and Brooklands
- and became inextricably linked with the history of the famous 24-hour
race at Le Mans.
Le Mans - one of the longest established motor races in the world - is a
gruelling test of speed, endurance and teamwork.

The legendary Bentley Boys - ex-fighter
pilot Sir Henry Birkin, diamond heir
Woolf Barnato, adventurer Glen
Kidston, Harley Street consultant John
Benjafield and former jockey George
Duller - achieved Le Mans victories in
1924, 1927, 1928 1929, and 1930 - taking
the first four places in 1929.
In 1931 Rolls Royce took over Bentley
and W.O. was taken on as a development
engineer by the new owners.
Social trends in the late 1920s and early 1930s were mirrored in a
rise in smaller owner-driver saloon cars with style, performance and
comfort. Bentley Motors (1931) Ltd. successfully met this demand with
the Derby-built 31/2-litre and 41/4-litre Bentleys built between 1933 and
1939, but when W.O. was offered a job at Lagonda in 1935, the year that
a Lagonda won at Le Mans, the allure of working with racing cars again
was irresistible. He went on to design the V12 Lagonda, later working for
Aston Martin and Armstrong-Siddeley before retiring.
Encouraged by Stanley Sedgwick and the Bentley Drivers Club, W.O. was
Patron of the Club until his death in 1971.
When Bentley announced its return to Le Mans in late 2000, it was
clearly stated that it would be a three year programme with victory the
only aim.
In 2001, Team Bentley scored a remarkable third place followed by a
creditable fourth in 2002 with the EXP Speed 8.
Then, with the culmination of the development programme, Bentley
achieved outright victory in June 2003 - bang on schedule.

The Bentley Continental Supersports is
a supercar combining extreme power
with pioneering FlexFuel technology.
A muscular two-seater with distinctive
exterior and interior styling that is
unmistakably Bentley in its design,
craftsmanship and performance. This is
a car created through the continuing
desire to reach new limits.
This is the Continental Supersports.
The Continental Supersports represents
a perfect relationship between
engineering and design with the
enhanced iconic GT looks reflecting and
heightening the supercar performance.
The Continental Supersports began as
an under the radar project exploring the
possibilities of reducing weight to realise
the full potential of the car’s already
formidable W12 power unit.
The project resulted in a car re-
engineered, re-tuned and re-mapped to
achieve phenomenal supercar potency.
0-60mph in 3.7 seconds (0-100km/h
3.9 seconds). 621bhp (463kW/630PS).
800Nm (590 Ib ft) @ 1700 to 5600rpm.
The fastest, most powerful Bentley ever.

Our most advanced car ever will be rich in history with all the handcrafted excellence
in hide, real wood veneers and chrome detail that sets the Bentley marque apart.
The swiftest Bentley ever built will still have an inordinate amount of time lavished
upon it by craftsmen and women who breathe life into every one of our vehicles with
countless touches of finesse. The dizzying array of hides for the steering wheel alone
take hours to be double stitched by hand.
W.O. Bentley wanted to create a car at the pinnacle of motoring. Something large, fast, refined and comfortable.
This philosophy resonates deeply at Bentley and has, over time, created a legacy that exemplifies these qualities:
record-breaking feats, daring exploits and a host of exquisitely handcrafted and beautifully engineered cars.
Now, 90 years later, the all-new flagship Bentley Mulsanne embodies W.O. Bentley’s passion. It is a powerful
and elegant driver’s car like nothing else on the road. In introducing this car, Chairman and Chief Executive Dr
Franz-Josef Paefgen stated:
“The challenge we set our engineers was to create a grand new Bentley that would stand as the pinnacle of
British luxury motoring, offering the world’s most exclusive driving experience. They have responded to this
challenge with real passion, and the result is a luxury grand tourer that sets new standards in terms of comfort,
effortless performance and handcrafted refinement – the very qualities for which Bentley is renowned.”

The Mulsanne name reflects Bentley’s sporting pedigree and unique association
with Le Mans, where we have been victorious six times. This famous straight of
the track is synonymous with the Bentley marque. Few places offer a stronger
or more emotive connection with Bentley than the famed Mulsanne straight.

The Continental GTC. Inspired by the Grand Touring tradition
of Bentley legend. Born of Bentley’s breathtaking Continental
GT coupé. With the endless power of a 12-cylinder, 6-litre
twin-turbocharged engine urging you from 0-60mph in just
4.8 seconds. And a canopy opening up to the endless skies in
less than 25 seconds. Welcome to convertible motoring at its
exhilarating best.
Handcrafted in inimitable Crewe style, the interior blends the
finest natural materials with a contemporary Bentley design.
The cabin is a handcrafted sanctuary designed to heighten the
ultimate in Grand Touring experiences. Traditional features
like the bulls-eye air vents and the organ stop controls are
exquisitely framed by wood veneers. Premium grade leather hide
is also employed to soft surfaces, including the trim around the
sporting gear selector and hand-stitched steering wheel. Knurled
brightware controls and a choice of premium wood veneers
exemplify the craftsman’s touch.
Equipped with active and passive safety systems to the highest
levels of specification, the Continental GTC is among the
safest convertibles on the road. Discrete braking, cornering
and traction functions mesh together to provide precise and
immediate control under extreme or difficult driving conditions.
Continental GTC owners will want for nothing inside their car,
whether behind the wheel or enjoying the ride as a passenger.
The car is equipped with the latest advanced cabin technology
from its electrically operated soft fabric roof, power-latching
doors and electrically powered front seats, to its climate control
and advanced Infotainment System.

The Continental Flying Spur, a sumptuous, spacious four-door with
the soul of a high performance coupé. With its unmistakable Bentley
qualities of exquisite design, peerless craftsmanship and unforgettable
driving dynamics, the Continental Flying Spur continues the Bentley
bloodline of sporting Grand Tourers with an understated style that’s as
appropriate for a business commute as it is for an evening at the theatre.
With the same potent 6-litre, 12-cylinder, twin-turbocharged engine
found in the Continental GT and the Continental GTC, the Continental
Flying Spur is the epitome of power with purpose. It powers the
Continental Flying Spur from 0-60mph in only 4.9 seconds. Breathtaking,
exhilarating - yet beautifully refined.
The interior blends the finest traditional materials with a contemporary
Bentley design. The cabin exudes perfected elegance, with an unmistakable
Bentley cabin design; combining handcrafted, luxurious unholstery and
trim with the cherished centuries old tradition of handcrafting veneers
from the finest natural materials. The lavish and beautiful result is truly
Bentley.
The Continental Flying Spur exemplifies the characteristic torque curve
that makes all Bentleys so thrilling to drive. Advanced keyless entry and
ignition technology, four-zone climate control, electronically-adjustable
front seats with lumbar massage, memory and heating, together with
gearshift paddles on the multi-function steering wheel, deliver an
unprecedented level of comfort and control.

Even more dynamic, lighter, more powerful and stunning – the
Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera is the new top model in
the Gallardo line-up. Its evocative “superlight” badge refers to a driving
machine of true sporting character and describes a high-performance
and lean automotive athlete. The Superleggera makes its entrance to
continue the success of its predecessor, launched in 2007, of which
Lamborghini produced and sold no less than 618 in just one year.
Compared with the already lean Gallardo LP 560-4, the weight of the
Gallardo Superleggera has been trimmed by 70 kilograms (154 lb). The
super sportscar from Sant’Agata Bolognese boasts a dry weight of no
more than 1340 kilograms (2954 lb) – the lightest road-going model
in Lamborghini’s range, and a new arrival in one of the most exclusive
market niche segments.
One key factor is the exterior and interior components made from
carbon-fibre. Carbon-fibre is ideal for the manufacture of sportscars as
its use allows for weight reduction and improved mechanical features.
L a m b o r g h i n i G a l l a r d o L P 5 7 0 - 4 S u p e r l e g g e r a
The car’s performance is thus enhanced thanks to a better weight-
to-power ratio and reduced total mass, which means that CO2
emissions are also lower. Lamborghini has been at the forefront in this
material’s application for many years, and now the brand is extending
its leadership even further.
He has long been revered as one of the many legends surrounding
the world’s most uncompromising sports car brand – Valentino
Balboni, a remarkable test driver with his own personal cult status.
Automobili Lamborghini has dedicated a model in his honour
and bearing his name – the Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni.
Balboni was hired in 1967 by company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini
himself. From early on, it was evident that the young Balboni had a
special feel for cars, that most sensitive of all instincts that connects
to the ‘life blood’ of an automobile and defines the soul of a test driver.
“A Lamborghini must always combine the precision of a
race car with the reliability of a good friend,” says Balboni.
Since 1973, he has sat at the wheel of every prototype built
by the brand, and even most production cars have passed
through his hands before being delivered to their customers.
The Gallardo 550-2 Valentino Balboni boasts not only its own
L a m b o r g h i n i G a l l a r d o L P 5 5 0 - 2 V a l e n t i n o B a l b o n i
distinctive design and exclusive equipment, but its technology
is unique too, as indicated by the model badge: the ‘550’ stands
for the power output in hp and the ‘2’ is for rear wheel drive.
After over 40 years with Lamborghini, Balboni is now officially
retired. Yet, Valentino Balboni continues to travel to many countries
around the world as an ambassador of the brand. The special
exclusivity of the Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni is guaranteed
- it is limited to 250 units. The Balboni model is the first Lamborghini
to deliver its power to the road via its rear wheels alone since 1999.
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 is part of the most successful
Lamborghini range of all time: since 2003, more than 10,000 Gallardo
models have left the Sant’Agata Bolognese production plant.
“The LP 560-4 consolidates the Gallardo range success story,” states
Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
“It outclasses its predecessor in every aspect: its dynamics are distinctly
breathtaking and its design sets new standards. With the introduction of the
Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 we continue Lamborghini’s growth strategy.”
The powerful heart of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 is a 5.2 litre
V10 engine, with its direct fuel injection system - “Iniezione Diretta
Stratificata”- and an output of 560 hp (412 kW) at 8,000 revs. The increase
of 40hp and the approximate 20kg reduction in weight compared to the
previous Gallardo improve the power-to-weight ratio to 2.5kg per hp.
The Gallardo LP 560-4 accelerates from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in 3.7 seconds,
reaches 200km/h (124mph) in 11.8 seconds and has a top speed of 325km/h.
L a m b o r g h i n i G a l l a r d o L P 5 6 0 - 4
(202mph) Despite the increase in power, fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions have been reduced by a staggering 18 per cent.
With the Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder, Lamborghini offers
a driving experience like no other: fascinating design,
breathtaking performance and extreme handling features
come together with all the sensual intensity and open-air
pleasure that only a soft-top super sportscar can deliver.
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder offers a significant
increase in performance against its predecessor, with a more
powerful engine, permanent four-wheel drive and an all-new chassis.
With its innovative design, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-
4 Spyder takes the unique Lamborghini styling ethic to the next
level; it displays a powerful, elegant and unmistakable design.
As in the Coupé, its power is delivered by the direct fuel injection
system (Iniezione Diretta Stratificata) 5.2 litre V10 engine. The LP
560-4 Spyder takes only 4.0 seconds to sprint from 0-100 km/h
(0-62mph), reaching 200 km/h (124mph) in only 13.1 seconds
L a m b o r g h i n i G a l l a r d o L P 5 6 0 - 4 S p y d e r
and going on to a top speed of 324 km/h (201mph). The Spyder
sports improved traction, handling and stability at high speeds.
The redesigned four-wheel drive transmission, improved bodyshell
stiffness and the optimised aerodynamics all contribute to the
overall improvements in the vehicle, as do the reduced weight and
decreased friction throughout the components.
The Lamborghini Murciélago is one of the most extraordinary super
sports cars of all time. Automobili Lamborghini has now expanded its
model range with a new, exceptionally purist and even more extreme
top model – the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is even
more powerful, lighter and faster than the Lamborghini Murciélago LP
640. With the output of the 6.5 litre V12 increased to 670 hp and a
weight reduction of 100 kg (220 lbs), the Lamborghini Murciélago LP
670-4 SuperVeloce boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 2.3 kg (5.1 lbs)
per hp. This catapults it from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a breathtaking
3.2 seconds and powers it on to a top speed of around 342 km/h
(212 mph). Distinctive design refinements ensure that each of this
350-unit limited edition series conveys its full potential from the very
first glance.
With its outstanding performance, razor-sharp precision and
exceptional high-speed stability, the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4
SuperVeloce is the ultimate performance car for advanced sports car
drivers. The super sports car has been extensively redesigned with a
L a m b o r g h i n i M u r c i é l a g o L P 6 7 0 - 4 S V
new front and rear, an innovative engine bonnet and a choice of two
aerodynamic set-ups featuring either a small or large rear spoiler. The
interior in Alcantara and carbon fiber provides a purist and minimalist
approach.
The significantly modified aerodynamics with substantially increased
downforce brings considerable improvement to vehicle stability at
very high speeds. With the small standard-fit rear spoiler, top speed
stands at 342 km/h (212 mph), while the large “Aeropack Wing” and
its added downforce gives a top speed of 337 km/h (209 mph).

Ferruccio Lamborghini, the man with the inspiration, skill and
determination to turn a dream into reality, was born in a village near
Bologna, in April 1916. His parents were farmers, but Ferruccio’s
interest was in technology and mechanics.
He started purchasing old military vehicles and converting them into
tractors, meeting the significant demands in Italy after the war. His
commercial success resulted in the purchase of a workshop where,
from 1948 onward, Lamborghini tractors were produced.

Ferruccio embarked on producing helicopters, one of
his life-long ambitions, but when the Italian government
refused to grant him a license, he made the decision to
turn his attention to cars. The automotive world was
never the same again.
Ferruccio Lamborghini opened a car factory in Sant’Agata
Bolognese in 1963, delivering the first customer car, a 350
GT, in 1964. Lamborghini has, since then, been producing
some of the most extraordinary cars in the world.
The ‘charging bull’ symbol reflects Ferruccio Lamborghini’s birth sign. It is
still famously sported on all Lamborghini cars today.
The theme continued through the naming of cars after legendary fighting
bulls: models such as the Miura, Countach and Diablo, and currently
Murciélago and Gallardo, conjure similar emotions in school boys and
grown men, making it perhaps the most aspirational performance marque
in the world today.
