2.7 Tonnes unladen weight, 1,020 nm torque and a base price of 292.740 euros add up to an automotive emphasis. The Bentley Mulsanne remains true to the style of his predecessor, Arnage, offers expansive luxury. To him, not only of the chauffeur, but also the driver enjoys.
It is just a reflex, but he reveals the commoners: the handle to the front door. The (money) noble clientele is expected at the Bentley Mulsanne mainly the rear Chambers interested and then for the workplace of employees. So it is three steps backwards, because it is so far from the front to the rear Wagenschlag. Again this is tantamount to an outing - you must open itself.
A train on the knurled grip, and the portal is open. Already one will occur, as a torrent of leather fragrance blows against one. Inhale innehalten. The intensity of tannin bouquets is einlullend. If automotive luxury has a smell, then this. Really too bad that the painted Burl wood takes no fragrances; the overall flavor would be overwhelming. So, enjoy the nose and amazed the eye of the veneer blindness in the Bentley Mulsanne, which could be expressed in cubic meters. You enough once all around and culminates in a dashboard, that served this name actually to the honour. A wooden bastion rises before the Bentley Mulsanne driver, a grand, spacious plank with a vertical instrument panel and deep caves with beautiful round instruments. Not imagine if here a screen slide would be virtual chronometer.
Circumferential wood friedet the Interior, a barrier to the everyday life with its habits. Inside in the Bentley Mulsanne, the gourmets stay, outside reflected the General platt, at least whenever the nose if the Bentley unattended is parked. What see onlookers through the rear window, is above all a great void, because leg room as such not materializes finally. However, a car is all the more expensive, the more it has it. The additional leave, but technically not overly upgraded five and a half meter-Bentley-Mulsanne-test car comes to 328.029 euros, is better paid already can prepare an automobile joy of value added tax.
After the performance with "sufficient" to counter the question, it would be too corny. They answer Bentley Mulsanne driver instead as incidentally indicating torque simply because 1,020 nm sound more impressive than 512 HP. And quibbles about the topic of consumption take up it with an excursus on the cylinder shut-down to 2,000 rpm; Bentley promises about 15 per cent reduction compared to its predecessor. If it is running the Squire, marked the Mulsanne its territory with a hungry pounds CO2 per km, which corresponds to an average of 20.7 liters per 100 km seed. The driver, however, can undercut ECE consumption of 16.9 litres with 13 promised by Bentley, if it does not pressiert the dominions in the rear wing.
So time-resistant as the Mulsanne therefore rolls, expected one candles instead of incandescent lamps, chandeliers, instead LED lights, wants to write its input by piston filler and then hopes to sign instead of navigation prompts. But the successor of the Arnage has taken the step in the modern automobile. Behind the scenes bits and bytes wuseln, although the scenery remains stable analog - at least, if you disappear the screen behind his electrically operated root wood Portal. Mechanics as it embodies the spirit of Manufactum sending ("it they still exist, the good things"), promises long life. Classic warranty as standard provides the Bentley Mulsanne, already new bears the aura of an antique, is quick to the good, old piece and the part of the family tradition. A car for the stock of the era.
At the sight of Mulsanne it produces not just the reference to the eponymous village in the Le Mans track, whose famous right bend has seen many Ausbremsen maneuver. Here the Colossus would gain no duel, rather on the subsequent line, the torque - aufbrandet accompanied by the big rumble. The six three-quarter-liter cited the V8 scene without intimidating gosh, that would be too common and inappropriate for a modest older women - finally the cylinder goes back to the year of 1959. He avoids the hard sounding area, carried out despite colossal acts when the two Mitsubishi charger slide 0.7 bar pressure into the combustion chamber. Thus, the Mulsanne can speed up his heavy body in five and a half seconds to 100.
Then, 2.7 tonnes pave your way through the landscape. Mountains are nothing more than Visual horizon shifts, inhibit the brakes not in the least. The Mulsanne defies its huge mass and roars in wide swings over hills and through valleys, is similar to a samba tanzenden sumo wrestler, and bring it in the stumble. Mass runs, in the event of Mulsanne is it almost rollers.
Only the driving shafts know stress
Driving the Bentley Mulsanne which reminds of the early form of Chauffierens, when it was performing yet pleasurable and not duty. Is that the head picks up weekends like itself in the spokes, Hunt curves with its large caliber, the Mulsanne differs from other, eking most their lives in the garage long limousines. Their gift to the passenger to rest, to shield him from the rigors of everyday life, also has the Bentley Mulsanne, is nothing but relaxing noise through to the back seat. And only a gentle in the sleep swings left by long-stroke-bumps.
Probably only the drive shafts that must cope with subversive torque at the kickdown know stress in this car. And not trained drivers who want to safely merge the Mulsanne in a parking garage. Because you must be raised with great for a bite to view it.
