$10,000 champagne bottle cooler? Only in a Bentley
Bentleys are expensive. They wouldn't be Bentleys if they weren't. Even so, the ~$200k list price for a new Flying Spur
is just the starting point. The company's Mulliner customization
division offers a wide array of optional extras – all of them suitably
pricey – and just introduced a new selection for the sedan.
Highlighting the options list for the Continental's
sedan counterpart is a champagne bottle cooler mounted between the rear
seats behind the armrest. The on-board mini-fridge fits two
standard-size champagne bottles – no magnums, we're afraid – canted
forward, as well as a stopper and a pair of flutes with bases designed
to evoke the shape of the wheels outside. It all fits in behind frosted
glass trimmed in chrome, just in case it wasn't blingy enough for the
hip-hop set, and takes Bentley's
craftsmen 15 hours to make. No wonder the company charges $10,135 for
each one installed, which comes within a Bentley buyer's pocket change
of a new Nissan Versa.
