The new Mulsanne is a thoroughly modern flagship that captures the essence of the Bentley marque. It is elegant yet distinctly sporting in character, delivering effortless performance while within its sumptuous cabin, advanced technology sits discreetly with handcrafted luxury.
The design of the new Mulsanne is a unique fusion of sportiness, coachbuilt elegance and solidity. Echoing the Bentley S -Type of the 1950s, the Mulsanne features a bold frontal design dominated by the traditional Bentley matrix grille and highly prominent, classic round inner headlamps with chrome surrounds, flanked by two, smaller outboard lamp clusters, all featuring the latest in lighting technology. The iconic ‘Flying B’ retractable radiator mascot is available as an option.
The long bonnet, short front overhang and long rear overhang help to convey a sense of power and movement, reinforced by muscular haunches and sharply sculptured lines which flow gracefully from the front wings to the rear. Uniquely designed 20-inch (and optional 21-inch) wheels reinforce the Mulsanne’s powerful, sporting stance.
As one would expect, when it comes to the interior the latest in-car technologies are discreetly placed within the Mulsanne. A multimedia system with 60GB hard disc drives satellite navigation, audio/video, personal data, telephone and Bluetooth connectivity. The upper dashboard houses an 8-inch multimedia screen, positioned unobtrusively behind an electrically operated veneered door, while below sits a stylish, leather-lined media player stowage drawer with connectors for iPod, USB, Mini USB and 3.5mm aux.
A 14-speaker audio system with Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and 6-CD autochanger is provided as standard while the Naim for Bentley premium audio system may be specified as an option. This forging of two British luxury brands provides customers with the world’s most powerful production in-car amplifier with 2200 Watts, eight dedicated DSP modes and 20 custom-made speakers.
A personalized keyless entry system allows multiple pre-programmed configurations and automatically sets radio stations, phone book, seat (including ventilation and massage modes, both front and rear), steering column and seatbelt settings and even the electrically operated rear-seat blinds for side and rear windows.
The keyless system also operates with the chrome door handles which incorporate touch points to initiate communication with the key for verification and entry. The Mulsanne also features keyless start, having a stop/start button on the center console.
The interior itself takes over 90 hours to complete, and is finished in high-quality mirror-matched wood veneers, leather hides and hand-finished stainless steel, as well as new touches such as beautiful ‘glass’ switches.
Of course it wouldn't be a Bentley if it didn't also offer an equally impressive and powerful engine: enter the 6.75-liter V8 engine. This engine is totally revised from old models, and that includes the introduction of two new control systems: cam phasing and, a first for the ultra-luxury sector, variable displacement.
The result is an impressive 505 horsepower and 752 lb-ft of torque. This is matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission that can be controlled with steering-wheel mounted paddleshifters - a first for Bentley.
A new air suspension system with Continuous Damping Control (CDC) creates an even more refined and comfortable ride at lower speeds, yet can reduce the Mulsanne’s ride height automatically at high speeds to reduce lift and improve aerodynamic stability.
With 20-inch alloy wheels and 265/45ZR20 tires as standard, dynamic handling is assured. Customers may also opt for 21-inch wheels, available in two styles, fitted with 265/40ZR21 tires.
Mulsanne Mulliner Driving Specification
For the latest model year Bentley has expanded the Mulsanne lineup with a new model known as the Mulliner Driving Specification. This new model uses the same engine as the standard Mulsanne, but with a more enthusiast-tuned suspension for improved handling.
Keeping the Mulliner Driving Specification planted to the ground is a unique set of 21-inch wheels, complete with race‑derived, titanium fasteners. The two-piece wheels are available in both painted and polished finishes, and can be fitted with Bentley’s optional self-leveling wheel badges.
The Mulliner Driving Specification also includes a unique set of ‘Flying B’ wing vents.
Inside the Mulliner Driving Specification passengers are coddled in bespoke diamond quilted leather. Bentley says it even developed a unique way of perforating leather just for the hides used in the Mulliner Driving Specification.
But the highlight of the Mulliner Driving Specification interior is a new rear-seat bottle cooler with room for two full-size Champagne bottles. The package, which will be rolled out to other Mulsanne models, also features three hand‑blown and hand-cut lead crystal champagne flutes. A close eye will notice the flute design mirrors that of the Mulliner’s wheel spokes.
The Mulliner Driving Specification also introduces a new sunroof option for the Mulsanne.
Key Competitors
As the flagship of Bentley's lineup, the Mulsanne competes against prestigious fulls-size ultra-luxury sedans like the Rolls-Royce Phantom and the Maybach 57, while the Aston Martin Rapide is also option for those willing to trade some cabin space for achingly beautiful styling.
