Plastic in the new Mulsanne?
As soon as Bentley Highpoint gets a new Mulsanne in I'm going to go check it out, but until then, photos have to do. In this cropped photo of the rear seat area, the areas I've indicated look like plastic to me. Even if that curve at the door sill is leather covered it's got a cheap, plastic look to it.

Comments? Am I off base here?

For comparison, look at this photo of the same areas in the new RR Ghost. It's very easy to see the back of the front seat and the B pillar and door sill are covered with leather.

Gary the first picture is a 3D rendering, I'm pretty sure those areas are leather covered when we see the first real pics of the interior.

Real interior of the Mulsanne is all-leather.

It's not a 3D rendering, it's an actual photograph of an interior from the Mulsanne press kit. (Note I said "an interior." I'm willing to concede this may be a mock up interior and the production version will be different. I sure hope so.)

Here's the full-size, hi-res image:

I've just e-mailed Richard Durbin at Bentley to ask if these interior shots are 3D renderings.

Looks like I'll have to try someone else:

I am currently out of the office on company business and will then be on annual leave until 26 October. I will not have access to my e-mail during this period so if your enquiry is urgent please contact the Bentley Public Relations team on 01270 535 044.
