Bentley Mulsanne
Bentley’s flagship sails the motorways with no major changes for 2015. Majestic and dignified, the Mulsanne houses under its long bonnet the venerable but authentic 6.75L Rolls-Royce V8. Now sporting twin turbos, this piece of history develops 505 horses and no less than 752 lbs.-ft. of torque! Let’s recall that when VW bought all of Bentley and Rolls-Royce, it got everything but the RR name, snapped up by rival BMW. The Mulsanne is then 2585 kg of pure Made-in-Crewe Rolls heritage.
