What you're looking at here is the most luxurious version of [Bentley's Flying Spur sedan](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/30430/the-2020-bentley-flying-spur-review-a-grand-tourer-with-no-wrong-place-to-sit>) ever made: the 2022 [Bentley](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/40516/2021-bentley-bentayga-review-opulent-doesnt-have-to-mean-impractical>) Flying Spur Mulliner. As its name suggests, it's been designed and hand-crafted by Bentley's Mulliner bespoke coachbuilding division and is available in any of the Flying Spur's existing powerplants. Namely, the V6 hybrid, 4.0-liter V8, or the big 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12.

Design elements exclusive to the Mulliner include the downright imperial-looking double diamond front grille, 22-inch wheels with self-leveling wheel caps that are always the right way up, satin silver mirror caps, and Mulliner-branded side grilles. Even the fuel and oil caps are of the jewel variety, whatever that means.

On the inside, Mulliner has expertly curated eight different tri-color interiors to choose from. Each featuring diamond-milled trim and hand-stitched seats featuring quilted diamonds consisting of exactly 712 stitches *each*. Bentley also says the quilting process here took it 18 entire months to develop. So, now we know what Bentley's been doing for this entire pandemic other than [rake it in harder than it ever has before](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/40480/bentley-just-had-its-best-quarter-ever-because-tough-economic-times-are-purely-a-mindset>). Button-operated, veneered "picnic tables" behind the front seats let rear passengers prop up their laptops and do some work or, y'know, have a picnic.

Even the way the Flying Spur Mulliner's keys are presented is super fancy. They're leather-bound and come in a hand-crafted box that matches your specific car's interior, a bit like the boxes that come with expensive pieces of horology. Speaking of, the in-dash clock here was apparently sourced from Breitling.

Bentley has not released pricing but considering a "base" Flying Spur already starts north of $200,000, we'd estimate a Mulliner to exceed, $300,000.
