THE BENTLEY MULSANNE SPEED

The Speed is the performance derivative of the highly luxurious Bentley Mulsanne super-sedan and offers even more power and premium features compared to the standard model. Named after the Mulsanne-straight stretch of the legendary Le Mans racetrack, the Mulsanne Speed's 6.75-Liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine is modified and rated at 530 horsepower and a staggering 811 lb.ft of torque, and benefits from a 13% increase in efficiency as a result of a newly redesigned combustion system that promotes a much faster and more controlled combustion process. This gives the Speed a 0-60 mph acceleration time of just 4.8 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds faster than the standard model, and an electronically limited top speed of 184 mph. Other features specific to the Speed include a Sports mode in the suspension system settings, more assertive styling features such as a dark tint finish applied to the exterior stainless steel matrix grille, distinctive headlights, a "floating ellipse" design on the rear taillights, Bentley's first ever directional style wheel and tire set, and twin rifled exhaust tailpipes. Interior features include a new and unique color split with new stitch lines that balances diamond quilted light-color hide with darker, smooth hide, a 60 GB on-board hard drive, electrically operated tables with recesses and connections for iPads and matching keyboards, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This highly luxurious and powerful Bentley Mulsanne Speed model was hand built at the Crewe-based Bentley works during November of 2016. The Bentley was equipped for the U.S. market as a 2017 model-year car and sold new through Bentley of Beverly Hills. The luxurious sports saloon was finished as it appears today in business-like Anthracite black over a Beluga leather interior, while the cabin was adorned with a long list of amenities including beautiful wood-veneer and chrome finishes. Retail price was $380,280. The Bentley has had just one owner from new, and total of a mere 1,101 miles are recorded on the odometer at the time of cataloging. It should be noted that the vehicle is due for a service.
