And the Mulsanne will get also some new versions!

Bentley is busy. First, a Flying Spur V8’s and now a different look for the largest scion. That deserves a bit of attention, which act. Especially the front is under the knife, so he is adorned with a new hood, other light clusters, a different grille and bumpers are also changed. But that is not where the biggest news is, no, no, there are some new versions on the market.

To start with the Mulsanne EWB. Those three letters stand for Extended Wheel Base. The rear seat passengers gain access to 25 extra inches. In this way, the Germans, British, a little bit in the violence of the Maybachs and Phantoms of this world. Funny gadget is the sliding roof, especially for the rear passengers. A bit like a Landaulet, but it’s just not.

And then there is the Mulsanne Speed. When that version is all about speed, the name says it actually already. And hard can you do with this, 537 hp and a achterbandverschroeiende 1100 Nm of torque takes ie from a 6.8-litre V8. Thus, drag this battleship in 4,9 seconds to 100 and the resistance wins the fight only at 305 km per hour. With an ordinary version you are also not a thing, which still has 512 hp.

The updated Mulsanne will be unveiled at the motor Show of Geneva, what it will cost and when he is with the dealers is still unknown.
