Aesthetics

The Continental GT is the most sophisticated open-top Bentley ever built. Its rear tonneau, for example, showcased the biggest piece of book-matched, dark-stained Burr Walnut veneer ever applied to the production Bentley. Similarly, the electrically-operated glass sunroof and champagne cooler that incorporated hand-blown and hand-cut lead crystal bottles marked a new benchmark in luxury and innovation.

Bentley estimates that it takes about 500 man-hours to build and assemble a Mulsanne. One of the main reasons for that lengthy effort is a conscious refusal to embrace the latest technology. Instead of using a machine to place the perfectly-matched leather seats workers at the Crewe factory do it by hand. And rather than letting the car's built-in sensors guide it into perpendicular and parallel parking spots drivers must do it manually.
