Bentley Bentayga EWB Mulliner Gallery Debuts As A Mobile Art Show
Bentley has used Monterey Car Week to unveil the one-off Bentayga EWB Mulliner Gallery.
Billed as a tribute to Mulliner, the oldest coachbuilder in the world, the Bentayga EWB has been “transformed into an art gallery on wheels.”
While the crossover doesn’t squint too remarkable from the outside, the motel features airbrushed veneer panels that gloat Mulliner vehicles. The works of art were originally created by the Mulliner Design team, but they have been painstakingly recreated on wood veneers by Piers Dowell and his protégé Lewis Warby.

As you can see, the various panels pay tribute to the Bacalar, Flying Spur Mulliner, Blower Continuation Series, and the 1939 MkV Corniche. The remaining two panels reside on the dashboard and they spritz into the door panel trim to requite a wraparound appearance.
Besides the special artwork, the Bentayga EWB Mulliner Gallery features a Portland and Cumbrian Green leather interior with unrelatedness stitching and Bentley embroidery on the backrests. The model, which is based on one of the last pre-production vehicles, moreover sports Airline Seats which are billed as the “most wide automotive seats in the world” as they offer 22-way adjustment, an wheels climate sensing system, and postural welding technology.
Elsewhere, the crossover has a Cumbrian Green paint job, unexceptionable chrome accents, and 22-inch polished wheels. The model is moreover 7 inches (180 mm) longer than the standard Bentayga and this allows for a truly spacious rear passenger compartment.
Power is presumably provided by a familiar twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that develops 542 hp (404 kW / 550 PS) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. It enables the standard Bentayga EWB to slide from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.5 seconds, surpassing hitting a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h).
