The mulsanne is all bentley, designed and built at the company's spiritual home of crewe in northern england. Large numbers of cows and trees perished in the making of the interior, which features an unbroken ring of wood trim as well as a leather-covered headliner. This car uses three times more wood than previous bentleys and that 17 to 18 full cowhides are needed per mulsanne. As well as these natural materials, the cabin features some stunning piano-black finishes and acres of stainless steel. The removable ashtrays are hunks of gleaming metal, and the clip-in rear cup holders are hand-trimmed in leather. There's a 14-speaker naim stereo that has a 2200-watt amplifier, as well as a 60-gb hard drive that serves the navigation and audio systems. The rear seats are heated and cooled, recline, and offer a massage feature that would put rear-seat riders to sleep. On the road, the mulsanne is a massive improvement over the arnage and a much sportier vehicle than its direct rival, the rolls royce phantom. The relatively low-revving v-8 engine is, like a well-behaved child, only heard when it's asked to be. At cruising speeds, it's hard to detect that there's a mechanical device turning up front, but when needed, the v-8 responds with a torrent of torque and a muted growl that signifies some serious get-up-and-go. Bentley claims a 0-to-60-mph time of 5. 1 seconds, and the mulsanne certainly feels that fast. Top speed is claimed to be 184 mph, but one engineer said the car actually will get closer to 200 mph.
