2015 Bentley Mulsanne Speed Review

   The Bentley Mulsanne is one of the biggest, baddest, and most certainly expensive cars in the world, and is a worthy competitor for other massive super-limousines like the Rolls-Royce Phantom. But, for some idiotic reason, someone at Bentley had the thought: "What if we took the Mulsanne, a car not meant for speed or agility, and gave it 27 more horsepower to create a sportier version?" Obviously, they thought that expanding their model lineup would create more sales, which to be fair, is true, but only if you expand using models that make sense. Making a "sport" version of an almost 3-ton luxo barge is like creating a city car that got 12 mpg. It's completely redundant, and makes no sense whatsoever. In this case, the problem is that Bentley took their Mulsanne, which is the largest car they make, and tried to make it sporty. See the problem here? But, the Mulsanne still has good looks (except for the massive rims, which look awful on a British limousine), a sumptuous interior, and for the cherry on top, plenty of ridiculous and overpriced options for the world's multi-millionaires. The interior has everything you'd expect from a $350,000 car, such as full power, three-stage heated and cooled seats, and massaging seats, iPad picnic tables, and a 2200-watt Naim audio system. The 6.75 liter twin-turbo V8 now makes 530 hp and 811 pound-feet of torque (which, if you didn't know, is enough to spin the planet in the opposite direction), and the 0-60 time has been reduced to 4.8 seconds, which beats a lot of sports cars, such as the Subaru WRX STI.
