Bentley's engineering team clinched to three main challenges while designing Mulsanne's V8 engine- effortless torque at low revs, acceptable environmental emissions and retaining the sophistication of interiors at odd speeds. The 6750cc engine has robust capacity to churn out 500 horsepower with a massive peak torque of about 1000Nm. Literally, the car could swift from 0 to 100km/hr in just 5.3 seconds. Its eight cylinder engine is coupled with an automatic transmission system to deliver the required torque and power to the wheels. Mulsanne's top speed soars to 296 km/hr and the mileage range varies between 5 to 7km/liter.
One would end up shortly, if he/she looks out for features that are missing in Mulsanne, rather than that are present in it. Unpacking the safety features, Mulsanne has secured everything right from the front bumper to the rear boot. It includes Anti-lock braking system, driver and passenger air bags, child safety locks, fog lamps and other standard features. Tubeless tires and alloy wheels add elegance to Mulsanne's exterior. Majority of the vehicle's epicurean features are apparent due to the companionship of power assistance. Windows, doors, steering system, side view mirrors, seats, etc., are designed to operate by power with just a push on the buttons. In addition, the boot and the fuel lid are also power assisted. Central locking and defroster are the auxiliary safety features. Mulsanne's instrument panel includes bright digital readouts and well-stipulated tachometer, while the dashboard highlights a gratifying audio system. Leather-clad upholstery commemorates a phenomenal driving experience.
Indubitably, Mulsanne represents one of Bentley's finest craftsmanship ever made. Curvaceous corners and sharp definition lines add character to the dips and undulations of the surface. Bigger cross-sectional area of the matrix grille ensures flow of sufficient air to the engine, thereby achieving optimum compression ratio. One could be very much proud of Mulsanne's complete combustion process, as it averts release of unanticipated emissions. The vehicle's longer wheel base offers sufficient leg room for the passengers inside. Though the leading portion of the car is not sleek, its low profile design helps to minimize the unfavorable drag forces. As predicted, Mulsanne's circular headlights accomplish an appealing look for its front fascia. Side view mirrors are designed farther away from the body to lessen the effects of drag. It also entitles a streamlined flow of air towards the rear segment.
Most of Mulsanne's exterior parts are made from aluminum because of its light weight and enormous strength. The vehicle possess a monocoque construction with crumple zones at the rear and front to absorb imminent shocks, in case of collisions. Even the minor areas of the car like door-latches, tailpipes, bumpers, pillars of the roof etc., are crafted with perfection. Mulsanne's traditional matrix-grille could be one the best examples of Bentley's unique blend of boldness, sportiness and enliven culture.
One would experience an awe-inspiring ambiance, right from the initial moments of stepping inside. The fragrance of traditionally made leather materials captivates attention instantly, which is also accompanied by a befitting aura of lights. The use of wood veneers and stainless steel adds elegance. The availability of color choices from a broader palette allow the buyers to further customize their cars. An 8 inches high-resolution screen displays the required vehicle information at the comfort of the driver. Mulsanne's 14 speaker surround sound audio system brings a theatrical experience on the move. Voice controls, navigation and Bluetooth facility are the standard options with Mulsanne.
Sound proof audio system, CD/DVD changer along with 20 speakers, higher storage capacity and an approved four zone Air-conditioning system are some of the dress-up features for the stunning Mulsanne.
Mulsanne is a masterpiece that conveys Bentley's ancient charm through its cutting-edge technology. Its interiors could not be compromised for any better sophistication. Appealing ambiance and ample legroom adds pleasure to the passengers as well.
