Buying a car a hundred years ago is not what it is today. First you have to choose a suitable chassis that integrates the engine, transmission, suspension and other mechanical systems; then you have to find a coach builder to make a matching body specifically for the chassis you choose. What does it look like? There are big seats, no open hoods, decoration and decoration, with this and that, all here.
The systematic, complicated, and industrialized assembly line of automobiles has ended this poetic but inefficient model. In the end, even ultra-luxury brands such as Rolls-Royce Bentley will no longer have this gameplay. If you have millions of dollars on hand, you may be able to customize the color and material configuration for you, but it is still not enough to create a body shape alone.
Bentley wants to get it all back, even this time, even for just 12 people.
Most of the top luxury car brands have their own high-end customization department, that is to say, in addition to the gaudy options in the official website customization system interface, you can also add money for more freedom to use: use your own hands Some beloved objects make car paint color, done; mark text or pattern somewhere, done; even do it yourself (mouth) The design of each body part, as long as the money is enough, don’t be too weird, easy.
Mulliner, Bentley’s high-end customization division, has launched a new car, the Bentley Mulliner Bacalar, for 12 customers. The 12 vehicles are individually designed, developed, and hand-made by the specific needs of the 12 customers.
The general appearance of Bacalar comes from the concept car EXP 100 GT launched last year by Bentley ’s Centennial. The Mulliner Division has made mass production improvements based on it. The body style is called “Barchetta”, which translates into an adult-oriented, two-seater, roofless, roadster. Yes, no top, no soft top, no hard top. Therefore, Hyundai is suffixed with Barchetta, which is often a special edition model that does not need to take care of daily use too much: Ferrari has launched 550 Barchetta, Pagani has Zonda HP Barchetta.
