Detailed analysis of the Bentley Mulsanne · 513 CV (2016-2020)
General description
The 2016 Bentley Mulsanne is not just a car; it is the embodiment of British luxury and opulence. It represents the zenith of an era, a flagship sedan that combines exquisite craftsmanship with an imposing presence on the road. Driving or being driven in a Mulsanne is a statement of intent, a journey into the heart of the most exclusive and traditional motoring.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of the Mulsanne is a unique sensory experience. The sensation is not one of explosive speed, but of an unstoppable and serene force. The legendary 6.75-liter V8 engine pushes with colossal torque from very low revs, moving its nearly 2.7 tons with astonishing ease, like a giant wave advancing effortlessly. Despite its size, the air suspension isolates you from the outside world, creating a bubble of absolute silence and comfort. It's like piloting a luxury yacht on asphalt, where every journey becomes a special occasion.
Design and aesthetics
The Mulsanne's design is an ode to timeless elegance. Its majestic lines and its elongated silhouette of over five and a half meters project a natural authority. The iconic stainless steel grille and round headlights are a nod to Bentley's heritage, while every body panel is sculpted to reflect power and prestige. The interior is its true gem: a sanctuary of hand-stitched leather, mirror-polished noble woods, and cool-to-the-touch metals. It doesn't follow trends, it sets them, creating an atmosphere that feels as sumptuous as a palatial hall.
Technology and features
Beneath its classic appearance, the Mulsanne hides sophisticated technology at the service of comfort and performance. Although its cabin celebrates analog craftsmanship, it integrates an infotainment system to meet modern needs. However, the true technological feat lies in its chassis. The double-wishbone suspension and variable hydraulic power steering work in perfect harmony to offer sublime control and exceptional sound insulation, making the technology felt, but not seen, enhancing the experience without disturbing the luxurious atmosphere.
Competition
In the exclusive Olympus of ultra-luxury sedans, the Bentley Mulsanne finds its most direct and legendary rival in the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Both represent the pinnacle of British motoring, albeit with different philosophies: the Mulsanne with a character slightly more focused on driving pleasure, and the Phantom with an absolute devotion to passenger comfort. Another competitor, though with a more technological and less artisanal approach, is the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, which offers exceptional luxury but without the aura of exclusivity and heritage that envelops the Bentley.
Conclusion
The Bentley Mulsanne is much more than a luxury car; it is a rolling work of art, the swan song of a way of understanding engineering and craftsmanship that we are unlikely to see again. It represents the ultimate expression of power, comfort, and exclusivity, a vehicle built without compromise for those who not only seek transportation but to live an unforgettable experience with every kilometer. It is a legacy, a piece of automotive history that thrills with its grandeur and unrepeatable character.
