Bentley Mulsanne V8

Bentley Mulsanne is powered by a 6750cc, V8 Petrol Engine. It generates maximum power of 505 Bhp at 4200 rpm with maximum torque of 1020 Nm at 1750 rpm. The engine is mated to eight-speed automatic gearbox. The Bentley Mulsanne V8 is 5572mm in length, 1926mm wide, has an overall height of 1521 mm, and its ground clearance is N/Amm. With a kerb weight of 2585 kg, the car can seat 5 persons comfortably. Bentley Mulsanne V8's engine can run at a maximum power of 512PS @4200rpm (PS@rpm) and a maximum torque of 1020Nm @1750rpm (kgm@rpm). When it comes to mileage, it delivers N/A km/liter under optimal road conditions, while on city roads it offers N/A km/liter.

The highest speed attained by this car is N/A km/hour. The Mulsanne’s suspension is the car’s masterstroke. Its wide breadth of capabilities can be configured to suit your driving style or road conditions. In ‘Comfort’ mode, you feel like you are riding on a pillow of air and this will be the default setting for Indian customers to smother potholes with aplomb. Switching to ‘Sport’ mode, the steering weights up and the dampers tighten and this setting was ideal for the narrow, undulating  Scottish roads where the Mulsanne just didn’t feel its size. Leaving it in the so-called ‘Bentley’ mode, as the name suggests, suits the car’s character and gives its dynamics a combination of comfort and sportiness. And it is in this mode that the Mulsanne genuinely felt best in. It’s hard to judge the Mulsanne from an Indian perspective but what’s clear is that its blend of refinement, luxury, comfort and sportiness won’t, unlike a Rolls, make it a car that’s only enjoyed from the back seat. This is a car that’s equally good for relaxed driving on open roads and the ideal way to unwind after a quiet dinner. The good news is the falling British pound has made the Mulsanne ‘good value’ if it can be called that.

The standard car with the basic options will cost ‘just’ Rs 2.9 crore. The bad news is that it’s sold out till 2011. Indian customers always know a good deal when they see one.
