Bentley’s classy, old-money saloon
The Bentley Mulsanne is the stately home of cars.
The Bentley Mulsanne, which was launched in 2010, is the stately home of cars, says in Giles Smith in The Sunday Times. "It is the old money' end of the company's range, whatever trim level it comes in" (the Continental, by contrast, is "aimed at footballers and celebrity chefs"), and "nothing else Bentley makes these days says Git orff my land!' quite so loudly".
The new Mulliner Driving Specification version of the car adds to that prestige withsome "extra sporting vim and a few luxury top notes". Its 6.75-litre, V8 engine "wafts the car through the air in the almost entire absence of road or wind noise"; and, although great fun to drive, it's also great to be driven in there's so much room in the back that you "could take a decent head-clearing walk there after lunch".
