Bentley Mulsanne 6.75 Edition by Mulliner

The Mulsanne 6.75 Edition by Mulliner is Bentley’s thirty-car farewell to the modern Mulsanne and its long-serving V8. Announced in January 2020 on the Mulsanne Speed foundation, it turns engine details into cabin motifs and commemorative fittings. It is a separate programme from the W.O. Edition, with its own engineering tribute, specification and production limit.

Bentley Mulsanne 6.75 Edition by Mulliner at a glance

A farewell to a model and an engine family

The 6.75 Edition has two connected subjects: the conclusion of modern Mulsanne production and the engine family that powered it. Its name makes the mechanical tribute explicit, and its details translate that theme into a passenger saloon. This is a different purpose from the W.O. Edition, whose central object came from the founder’s historic 8 Litre. The programmes should therefore remain separate even though both are Mulliner Mulsannes. A useful profile explains what the edition commemorates, which derivative provides its foundation and how the commemorative treatment is expressed. Those elements establish its identity more clearly than calling every late special Mulsanne a centenary car.

January announcement and June completion

Bentley announced the 6.75 Edition on 14 January 2020. Its later end-of-era account reported modern Mulsanne production complete in June. The launch’s expected spring conclusion and the later completion report describe a plan and an outcome respectively. The article uses the later report for the actual endpoint rather than treating the original schedule as proof that production had already finished. For an individual car, build records can provide its own place in that sequence. This chronology also helps readers distinguish a final-edition customer car from a Heritage photograph or an earlier Mulsanne that happens to carry similar colours and equipment.

A programme limited to thirty

The manufacturer restricts the 6.75 Edition to thirty examples, a figure retained as the announced programme limit in this profile. The later completion account confirms the model’s conclusion and identifies final customer cars, but an individual chassis census is not supplied here. Thirty should not be merged with the W.O. Edition’s separate one-hundred-car programme. Count scope is especially important for farewell editions because the whole underlying model may have a much larger population. The limited edition’s original build documentation establishes membership. The profile records that defined programme without describing all Mulsanne Speed cars as part of the same final collection.

Mulsanne Speed as the mechanical foundation

The launch identifies the 6.75 Edition with the Mulsanne Speed and quotes 530 bhp and 1,100 Nm from its twin-turbo V8. This is a specific derivative reference, distinct from output figures for other Mulsannes or earlier Bentley V8 models. The engine’s long history does not mean every stage of that history shared the same power and installation. For a collector file, retain the dated specification with engine-bay photographs and original build information. That gives the engineering tribute a clear modern basis. The car commemorates a longstanding family through the final Mulsanne application, rather than presenting one unchanged engine as having operated identically across six decades.

Oil-cap ideas become passenger controls

The edition adapts the engine-oil-cap form into the ventilation controls and uses engine imagery in its instruments. These are unusually direct mechanical references for a luxury saloon cabin. They are best studied through photographs that show both the detail and its location among the other controls. The object’s shape has moved from an under-bonnet function into the passenger environment, where it becomes a commemorative cue. That translation is the design interest. The controls are not actual working oil caps, and the cabin does not need a complete engine on display to convey the theme. Small familiar forms can carry the tribute throughout a modern interior.

Trim choices and exterior identification

The manufacturer account describes four principal hide options and a coordinated silver-accent treatment, so one launch cabin should not become the only acceptable appearance for the edition. Exterior motifs and the wheel treatment provide further details to record beside the original order. Photograph the edition markings, wheels and cabin as part of one file, retaining the chassis identity that connects them. A later decorative change can alter a visible clue without changing the original build record. This is why a collector archive should use photographs and documentary identity together. The edition is a defined programme with coordinated details, rather than a label established by one easily changed badge.

The factory image belongs to the exact edition

The bundled photograph comes from Bentley’s January 2020 6.75 Edition announcement. Its caption retains the edition name and manufacturer presentation context. It is not an ordinary Mulsanne used to stand in for the final programme, and it is separate from the W.O. Edition photograph in the earlier batch. The source and editorial-use terms accompany the image. Readers can use the exterior view to understand the large saloon’s proportions, then follow the manufacturer account for the commemorative specification. A second interior view would reveal additional details, but the existing image already provides an authenticated model illustration with a documented origin.

How the final edition connects with earlier Bentleys

The 6.75 Edition provides a useful endpoint for comparisons with Arnage Final Series and the modern Brooklands coupé. Each belongs to a different model programme, while their V8 references connect them within a wider engineering history. The W.O. Mulsanne offers a closer body-family comparison but a different commemorative purpose. These relationships help the archive explain why separate profiles are justified without duplicating the same edition under abbreviated names. The 6.75 Edition stands on its own as a final Mulsanne programme with a mechanical theme, a Mulsanne Speed foundation and a clearly stated limit. Its story is most useful when those identities remain precise.

Frequently asked questions

What was the announced limit?

Thirty Mulsanne 6.75 Edition cars. The profile does not claim a completed chassis-by-chassis census.

Is it another name for the W.O. Edition?

No. W.O. honours the founder; 6.75 is a separate farewell programme centred on the Mulsanne and its V8.

Which Mulsanne derivative is the basis?

Mulsanne Speed, with the launch reference of 530 bhp and 1,100 Nm.

When did Mulsanne production end?

Bentley’s later completion report was published in June 2020, following the January edition announcement.
