Exterior

A wide front grille sits in front of the familiar Bentley matrix, notable for its stainless steel vertical vanes, each one angled outwards from the centre. Matching stainless steel Flying ‘B’ wing vents can be found behind each front wheel arch, while the rear of the car is adorned with similarly finished tailpipes. A retractable Flying ‘B’ radiator mascot can be commissioned as an option, to complete the picture. Sharper, sweeping lines characterise the fenders, the bonnet and the boot, with bumpers now emerging seamlessly from the bodyshell. The powerline, a Bentley hallmark since the 1950s, still runs down the side of the body, lending a sense of power and performance to its sleek, sophisticated lines. But on this car, its route along the rear fender has been subtly extended, ensuring that the car’s extra length appears natural.

Engineering

The performance of the mulsanne_extended_wheelbase Extended Wheelbase represents a fine balance of luxury and power. The same 6¾ litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that enables it to glide through the city in near-silence can also propel it from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds (0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds).

Interior

In the comfort of the exquisite rear cabin of the mulsanne_extended_wheelbase Extended Wheelbase, passengers can experience a completely new infotainment system with updated telephony and wireless networking features. With a suite of cutting edge technology options, the cabin can be considered a true home from home. No car offers greater potential for personalisation than the Bentley mulsanne_extended_wheelbase. In fact, at the current rate of production, Bentley could build them for 100,000 years without ever making two the same. With the introduction of the mulsanne_extended_wheelbase Extended Wheelbase, there are now even more opportunities to create a truly unique car.
