Bentleys are, by nature, a symbol of wealth, luxury and opulence, which makes them out of reach for most of us. But what if we told you that you can actually afford the company’s latest collection?
Don’t go checking those finances yet, because these aren’t rides that you’re going to park in the garage or the driveway, but on your desk. That’s right, what we’re dealing with here are scale models, which are part of Bentley’s centenary celebrations and which you can buy directly from the automaker’s website.

Limited to 100 examples, the Mulsanne W.O. Edition by Mulliner is among the cars replicated to a 1:43 scale. It features an Onyx paint finish on top of the Fireglow interior and stays true to the real deal, which packs the 6.75-liter turbocharged V8 that rockets it to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 5.3 seconds, thanks to the 505 brake horsepower.
The Mulsanne Speed is part of the collection too and comes in the exact same spec as the one presented at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, namely a Julep exterior and Beluga interior. The Continental GT Convertible has been replicated on a smaller scale as well and comes in Sequin Blue on top of the Linen look chosen for the cabin.
Each of these scale models are up for grabs at Bentley’s online shop. As for the money part, you’re looking at £150 ($194/€175) for the Mulsanne W.O. Edition by Mulliner and £125 ($162/€146) for the Mulsanne Speed and Continental GT Convertible. Not exactly cheap, but what did you expect from an official Bentley product?
