On the inside, the special model has 6.75 Edition embroidery on the seats. To evoke the vehicle’s engine, the ventilation controls have a design that looks like the engine oil cap. In addition, there’s a cutaway of the powerplant on the face of the clock and gauges on the center console. When opening the door, the welcome lights project the 6.75 Edition logo on the ground. The Bentley Mulsanne still maintains its 6.75 twin-turbo V8 530hp mated with 8-speed ZF transmission.

With the Mulsanne going away, Bentley is also announcing that the Flying Spur gets a hybrid powertrain in 2023. The company doesn’t provide any details on the engine at this time. The natural assumption is that the sedan would use the electrically assisted turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Bentayga that produces 443 horsepower (330 kilowatts) and 516 pound-feet (700 Newton-meters) of torque.

Bentley first used the Mulsanne name from 1980 to 1992 on the brand’s version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit. The company revived the moniker in 2010 for the current iteration of the sedan.
