Bentley Motors has redesigned its flagship Mulsanne into three new models: the Mulsanne, Mulsanne Speed, and the Mulsanne EWB.

Long producing the finest luxury automobiles, the British carmaker makes a big deal of the craftsmanship that goes into each of these land-yachts:

Of the 400 hours it takes to build a Mulsanne, around 150 are dedicated to creating the sumptuous leather interior – before additional options are considered. Stitched, shaped and finished entirely by hand, the completed seats, doors and other leather accoutrements rival the quality of luxury domestic furniture. The contrast stitching alone takes 37 hours to complete.

The new Mulsanne will debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month, and customers will take delivery starting this summer.
