Bentley is presenting at the Los Angeles Motor Show the Grand Convertible, a concept that may well indicate the future production of a convertible variant of the Mulsanne.
The Grand Convertible is described as "the ultimate expression of British luxury car" and "the most sophisticated open-top ever created by Bentley."
According to the British brand, the concept is equipped with the same 6.75-liter V8 twin-turbo that is present in the Mulsanne and the Mulsanne Speed. In this case the vehicle keeps the 537hp and 1100Nm of torque of the Speed version. With this engine the Grand Convertible can reach 100km/h in 4.9 seconds.
The Grand Convertible concept received an exclusive paintwork and a "liquid metal" trim in the hood and the frame of the front grille and the windshield. Inside the vehicle was covered in leather, with blue contrasting seams. Furthermore the Grand Convertible also has at the rear the largest wooden tonneau ever used in a Bentley model.
Although there is still no confirmation that the Grand Convertible may come to production, the CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer brand has made it clear that in case the vehicle is well accepted by its customers, Bentley will do everything for this to be a very exclusive car and an extremely limited collector's piece, pointing to a small series production.
