But the big question is, what is it like to drive? asks Dan Strong in AutoExpress. "In a word, it's unique. No other car blends the Mulsanne's extreme comfort with such agility and steering accuracy." Power delivery is "absolutely seamless", the 0-60mph sprint takes 5.1 seconds, and the top speed is 184mph. Overall, the new Mulsanne is "a great improvement on what went before", says Harry Metcalfe in Evo.
"It's more rewarding to drive quickly, beautifully built from the very best materials and a worthy flagship for Bentley."
Price: £220,000.
