The Mulsanne Speed reflects its ground-breaking performance with new and more assertive styling features that are marks of distinction for Bentley's pinnacle flagship. A dark tint finish is applied to the exterior stainless steel matrix grilles, in a process unique in the automotive industry, with the radiator grille, lower bumper grilles and wing vents all featuring this exquisite treatment.
The distinctive headlights of the Mulsanne show the same dark tint application, and at the rear of the car the tail-lights retain the 'floating ellipse' design, but are similarly finished with a dark tint for a striking appearance, especially at night.
The 'standard' paint range covers 25 shades, including Marlin, while the optional extended range features over 100 colours. A fully bespoke paint-matching service is available on request.
Concealed beneath the exquisite materials that define the Mulsanne Speed cabin is a suite of technology to make any journey as productive or relaxing as one desires. A 60 GB on-board hard drive can store the driver's collection of music and films. Electrically-operated tables, with recesses and connections for iPads and matching keyboards, can be fitted to the rear of the front seats, while on-board Wi-Fi through a dedicated router keeps the car connected to the outside world.
The cabin of the Mulsanne Speed is a contemporary reinterpretation of the exquisite interior of the Bentley flagship. To create a modern two-tone feel, a new and unique colour split is available, with new stitch lines, that balances diamond quilted light-colour hide with darker, smooth hide. A new technical veneer option is available, with Piano Black veneer panels now including expertly handcrafted carbon fibre inlays.
Bentley's mighty 6.75-litre twin-turbo V8, propels the Mulsanne Speed to 100Km/h in 4.9 seconds and on to a top-speed of 305Km/h. In modern Bentley tradition, the extra performance is matched by markedly improved efficiency; a 13% gain means a range extended by 80Km.
