(By Tom Lohnes) – You have to be a very specific type of rich to want a Bentley with a literal tweed interior, but nevertheless it appears on the list of bespoke parts offered on every Bentley model.
Mulliner is Bentley’s bespoke customizer that makes ultra-luxurious cars take a step up in comfort and price. Basically, you could ask Mulliner for a bright pink Bentayga with a picture of Peter Griffin on the side of it and chances are you would be able to get one. If you don’t want a very obnoxious SUV, however, you can add a plethora of secret luxury features for a price of their choosing. For instance, a Tweed interior is now available on all 2021 model year vehicles for an eye-watering price of $62,875. For that money, you can have a new C8 Corvette on top of your Bentley, but I guess their customers have the need for tweed.
Basically, the customization on these cars from factory is absolutely insane. You could go for obnoxious or classy, or anything in between, but beware, price rises by the ten-thousands if you even dare to equip one of these tanks with so much as chrome door handles.
Some people have no need to look at the price. I don’t know how much a Bentley costs, but I would think many Bentley buyers are in that league. Good for them.
