The new features of the Mulsanne - which bring additional levels of comfort, choice, privacy and entertainment options to Bentley's pinnacle model - blend striking design with the latest in technology integration. The new range of options enhances and broadens the appeal of the Mulsanne in new and emerging markets. Offering unrivalled luxury and effortless performance, the Mulsanne delivers the grandest of touring experiences, whether you are driving, or being driven."
