Interior Design and Special Features
While the attention of all other manufacturers to detail, "Bentley Mulsanne is the cabin in 2011, with more of an" obsession with detail. "Almost the entire surface is covered with leather, the same trunk lines. Y n is not just any leather. Bentley returned to that old style that gives a soft feel and exquisite fragrance, without chemicals.
The framework is made of glass or polished stainless steel and all the knobs are in the traditional style ribs of a Bentley. Navigation and audio systems are familiar to anyone who has used the same control interface in a modern Audi. The screen is clear and easy to read, and the operation is easy, once you learn the menus.
Of course, comfort is paramount in any luxury car, the Bentley Mulsanne and excels in this area. The seats are shaped for a variety of body types and there is enough leg room and head for frequent travelers. If you need legroom - driver of a center in the NBA, for example - the front passenger seat can slide forward to accommodate everything. The boot is also spacious, with room for golf bags and big bags.
Driving Impressions
Despite an empty weight of 5.700 pounds heavy, the Bentley Mulsanne 2011 moves with the urgency of a much lighter car. Its 505 hp does not seem that impressive, but 752 pounds-feet of torque is, no doubt - especially when all that power opens up from just 1,800 rpm.
However, such power does not detract from the focus on the luxury Bentley. Unless you floor the pedal, you will not even notice the presence of an engine. The rapid acceleration is also misleading, forcing the pilot to control the speedometer. In cornering, the Mulsanne sure-footed, but certainly not agile. But the sporty handling is not the priority of this car. The Mulsanne was built to transport passengers in ultimate luxury, isolated in a silence full of bubbles leather. At this point, went very well.
