Back in time with the Bentley Mulsanne Speed 2016

Back in time with the Bentley Mulsanne Speed 2016

Bentley's last new model of the Mulsanne dates back to 2010. Now, six years later, Bentley comes up with the Mulsanne 2016. On the inside we will find the latest technology but Bentley prefers an older design on the outside of the car.

The most remarkable adjustment compared with the 2010 is the front. Where the nose of the 2010 is still a bit sporty and typical Bentley, that's gone now. The vertical panels in the grill remind us of the older models of the Mulsanne LWB and Bentley Brooklands. It looks like Bentley is choosing a new image which brings them closer to their biggest competitor, Rolls-Royce.

Luckily, Bentley did make the back of the car look more modern. The three light rings of the previous model are replaced by two copies with LED lights, which is more in line with models like the Bentayga. The lights form the shape or the characterizing 'B' from Bentley.

The Speed version of the Mulsanne is powered by a 6.75 liter biturbo V8 producing 530 hp and 1.100 Nm of torque. When you don't have the S on the back of your trunk, the engine produces 505 hp and 1.020 Nm of torque.
