The Bentley Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase is an extraordinary car. It weighs 2.7 tonnes and is 5.8 metres long. Yet it actually goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds. What the hell? Well, it has a 6 litre twin-turbo V8 with 505 bhp and 752 lb.ft of torque. That’s sufficient to put you ahead in any lane change. Despite its length the Mulsanne is elegantly proportioned and the Extreme Silver paintwork with Bright Chrome exudes pedigree. A luxury sedan that hankers back to the halcyon days of grand touring through Europe and the French Riviera.
