Mulsanne (2010-2020)

The Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase, launched in 2016, was designed to be the most comfortable and luxurious car in the Mulsanne range. Designed for customers with a preference for being driven, it offered a first-class air-travel experience on the road. With an extra 250mm of legroom in the rear and sumptuous, light-filled cabin space, Mulsanne Extended Wheebase was  the most generously proportioned luxury limousine in the world.

To make the best use of the additional rear legroom, Bentley developed optional airline-style electronic leg rests, seamlessly integrated into the bases of the two rear seats. These extend out and pivot, giving the choice between upright, relaxed and reclined seating positions.

A beautifully designed optional centre console, crafted from the finest veneer, metal, glass and leather divided the rear seats. Rear seats could also be specified with folding picnic tables. Electric privacy curtains were fitted as standard.

Performance
The Mulsanne Extended Wheebase's 6¾ litre, twin turbocharged V8 engine produced 506 bhp (377 kW / 513 PS) at 4,200 rpm and up to 1,020 Nm (752 lb.ft) of torque at 1,750 - 3,250 rpm. This immense power meant the Mulsanne EWB coul accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds (0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds), and on to a top speed of 184 mph (296 km/h).

The Mulsanne, with its understated elegance represented the pinnacle of Bentley craftsmanship and contemporary design. The sharp lines of the front end were dominated by an eye-catching front grille, featuring bright vertical stainless steel vanes.  Introduced in 2017, this new grille design replaced the matrix grille exclusively for Mulsanne. The effect was striking, making the car appear wide, sleek, low and connected to the road. Low B-shaped wing vents in the fender and optional 21” wheels, available in three styles, added to the car’s road presence.

The Mulsanne offered the most refined automotive interiors in the world, with the finest hides and most exquisite veneers used throughout the cabin.    Front and rear seats, door trim, armrests and switches were designed as a contemporary take on classic Bentley design.  Hand-finished, unbleached and book-matched wood veneers form pure, elegant surfaces throughout the cabin.   The front seats featured 14-way electrical adjustment with an easy entry and exit movement, while the back seats offer 8-way adjustment.Deep pile flat-cut carpets were handcrafted specifically for each Mulsanne.
