New Bentley Mulliner project to be announced at Goodwood

Bentley is to reveal the next vehicle to come from its Mulliner department at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The announcement is expected to be made this Friday by Bentley’s Chairman and Chief Executive, Adrian Hallmark, on the carmaker's stand at the event.

No details are yet known about what the company has planned, with Bentley only saying: "The next Mulliner adventure will again combine exceptional design, engineering and handcraftsmanship in world-leading ways to create a new family of highly exclusive Bentleys."

This year's Goodwood has been a busy time for the British marque, having already used the Festival to debut its new S range of models – the GT S and the Flying Spur S – to reveal a new Continental GT Mulliner, to celebrate 40 years of turbocharged Bentleys.

All of these cars will be joined on the famous hillclimb by the Blower Continuation Series Car Zero.

Established in 2020 with the reveal of the Bacalar roadster, Mulliner completed its first production spec vehicles last year.

The first of the two vehicles, the Bacalar is a V12 two-seater limited to just 12 units.

The second car to come from the Mulliner workshop is the first from its Continuation Series – a recreation of a 1929 Blower Bentley, as originally raced by Sir Tim Birkin.

In period correct Birkin green, the recreated vehicle is an identical replica to the Bentley Team Car No. 2 upon which it is based, right down to its leather interior trim and wire wheels.
