Each model features a signature ‘Floating Diamond’ grille adorned with bright chrome, creating a commanding front profile that speaks to its luxury heritage. The exterior also includes satin silver mirror caps, bespoke Mulliner badges, and an option for gloss black finishes through the Mulliner Blackline selection.
In a nod to craftsmanship, the Continental GT Mulliner and GTC Mulliner showcase new ‘Harmony’ design single headlights featuring intricate ‘cut crystal’ reflector details.
