BENTLEY MULSANNE
The Mulsanne is Bentley’s flagship model and is regarded as one of the finest cars in the world.
Bentley’s incredible history incorporates some of the greatest names and moments in British motoring history. The company celebrates its centenary in 2019 and can proudly look back upon a 100-years of absolute excellence. Founder W.O. Bentley’s mission “to build a fast car, a good car, the best in its class” has been consistently completed in successive models over the history of his company, particularly at Le Mans, where his company took 5 wins between 1924 and 1930, before returning 73-years later to take a 6th crown at the world’s most demanding motorsport race.
It is only appropriate, therefore, that the name for Bentley’s flagship is ‘Mulsanne’, named after the Mulsanne Straight, the British name for the Le Mans’s circuit’s long, almost endless feeling straight. Many a Bentley has raced down the Mulsanne, achieving some of motorsport’s highest possible speeds in the process. Fittingly, the car that carries this name is described by its maker as “…the ultimate statement of Bentley’s innovation, craft skills and automotive artistry” and is built from hand by some of the most talented people in the industry at Bentley’s factory in Crewe.
To power this remarkable car, a remarkable engine is deployed – a 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V8. It provides over 500bhp and a mighty 1,020Nm of torque, enough to carry the near 2.7-tonne Mulsanne models to speeds over 180mph. An 8-speed automatic gearbox makes it as effortless as possible, and Bentley’s engineers ensure that the speed you travel at has no impact on the unrivalled comfort that the Mulsanne offers.
Only the finest materials are used to build the Mulsanne and being a Bentley, each one is ordered to the exact specifications of the client, with personalisation and client requests executed by Bentley’s ‘Mulliner’ department that specialises in personal commissions. A number of special orders have been available to make during Bentley’s centenary year, making 2019 a truly special time to experience such a vehicle.
