One of the most exclusive modern Bentleys ever built has surfaced on the global market, as Collecting Cars opens bidding on an ultra-rare 2016 Bentley Mulsanne Grand Limousine — a bespoke creation from Bentley Mulliner, understood to be one of just 12 examples worldwide.
Commissioned originally as a one-off concept, the Mulsanne Grand Limousine was later offered to a handful of specially selected clients in the Middle East, with each car finished to an entirely individual specification. This particular example — now available for bidding in the United Arab Emirates — is presented in a stunning two-tone Rubino Red over Light Gazelle, a rich and elegant combination that enhances the limousine’s elongated, dignified profile.
A Showcase of Coachbuilding Excellence
Bespoke-built by Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house coachbuilding division, the Grand Limousine stretches the boundaries of automotive craftsmanship. With a 1,000mm extended wheelbase and a roofline raised by 79mm, the Grand Limousine offers not just space, but true occasion. The result is a luxury conveyance that redefines interior comfort, matched only by the meticulous detail in its execution.
Inside, six individual seats are laid out in a VIP lounge configuration, each one equipped with its own dedicated climate zone. The rear compartment is upholstered in Twine hide, complemented by elegant Burr Walnut veneers, while the chauffeur’s space features Fireglow leather, creating a clear separation between driver and passenger areas.
Privacy, Performance and Presence
The Grand Limousine isn’t merely about size or style — it’s an uncompromising statement of exclusivity. Rear passengers enjoy a suite of Mulliner enhancements, including:
- An electrochromic glass privacy partition with adjustable opacity
- Twin drinks chillers with bespoke Bentley crystal tumblers and champagne flutes
- Massage seats and folding tray tables
- A bespoke gauge cluster displaying time, exterior temperature and GMT
- Quilted leather headlining with a central wood-veneered spine, a detail unique to this variant
- A high-end Naim for Bentley sound system
Communication between the driver and rear passengers is facilitated by an integrated intercom system, while a rotating central display, front and rear parking sensors, cruise control, and an electrically operated boot lid round out the comprehensive feature list.
Power Beneath the Prestige
Despite its focus on luxury, the Grand Limousine remains every bit a Bentley in performance. Powered by the marque’s revered 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V8, it delivers 505 bhp and an immense 752 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic gearbox. This particular example — having covered just 7,136 kilometres from new — remains in pristine mechanical and cosmetic condition, supported by an extended Bentley warranty valid until March 2027.
Recent servicing was completed at Bentley Abu Dhabi in May 2025, just 36 kilometres ago, affirming its turnkey readiness for the next custodian.
An Investment in Automotive Rarity
Originally priced in excess of seven figures when new, the Mulsanne Grand Limousine remains a coveted collector’s piece, with values today exceeding $600,000. Offered with its full owner’s book pack, trickle charger, two Bentley umbrellas, and multiple wireless headphone sets, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire what is arguably the pinnacle of Bentley’s modern-day coachbuilding capabilities.
Now live on Collecting Cars UAE, this one-of-12 Mulsanne Grand Limousine represents more than a rare acquisition — it is a rolling testament to craftsmanship, exclusivity, and elegance at its most elevated.
