I'm glad Bentley didn't screw up with Mulsanne's design, like they did with Continental Flying Spur and its "brilliant" rear. I just can't get enough of Arnage-Brooklands-Azure 'trio'. Let's wait for Mulsanne's coupé and convertible versions. No 4.0 TFSI, please!

It's an honor to drive the BENTLEY

I would also add that the engine is also British and is an evolution of the old V8 found in earlier Bentleys and Rolls Royce'. This car has a lot fewer VW components that people think, though without VW Bentley would not be where it is today.

Superb car...

@rapandrnb Im not brittish but he said very clearly in the beginning that the Mulsanne was built from the ground up by Bentley.

the camera men in top gear are geniuses.

nice car!!

@IDannyxss This is the Speed version which has slightly improved. :)

How come this Bentley Mulsanne looks different from when top gear tested it :P

@cechchelsea09 i think both have cars are unique, rolls is also awesome too

Literally the only good Mulsanne review on KZfaq. Not even kidding, the others are crap.

that vintage bentley is fuckin awesome...

The headlights!THE HEADLIGHTS!! It looks like the Phantoms dimwitted cousin...

@ADAMYESHOMO It's made in UK. That makes it British. But yes, Bentley is owned by the VW group. That doesn't make it German.

This car has a lot fewer VW components that people think, though without VW Bentley would not be where it is today.

Proper car.

yes the funding is german... but its designed and hand built in Britain. so ?

2.7 tonnes?

The entire British Royal family are German a mix of the following houses Saxe Coburg Gotha, Hesse or Battenberg Hanover.

Mate, I own a Falcon and I love it. But to get one over a Bentley? No friggin way! The two are just not comparable other than the fact that they both have four wheels.

4500RPM? That's ancient? I thought this car would murder a Ghost.

@rapandrnb And that little fact eats at them a little every day.

Hi Matt

It has a classic British design and is built in Britain by British people.

except for the fact that its hand built in britain and doesnt have anything to do with Germany ... except for the money used for its development

@rapandrnb Well, not actually. German money doesn't make it German. It was, unlike the Continental GT, totally developed on Britain, and doesn't have the underpinnings of any other VW Group car.

@Gabert1k More likely a poor microphone

Nice pants.

redback spyder :D

@rapandrnb Sure it's still a good 'people's car', or in German words...

It kind of looks like that Mitsuoka knock off bentley

they're made in England and designed in England. just with VW money.

In the same way Holden is American? What cars do Australia make again? By your theory none.

I'd take a bentley over a RR. Mainly because RR is on every rappers music video.

Rather a Rolls Royce Drophead Ex-Demo for £230,000 than this.

@rapandrnb Well the company may be owned by Germans, but this car is quintessentially British. British engine, style and above all badge make it a British product.

hahahahahahaha sharp you are ;)

so much roadnoise! is there something wrong? i can barely hear the presenter

I think nothin is better than british style combined with german solidty

hmm, the Bentley's okay but Watson's a bit okayer

i would pick Rolls Royce Phantom or ghost and they r better look then Bentley Mulsanne

Well, there's one review where they compared this to the Continental and the Mulsanne handled like crap by comparison. Now, before you start blabling that "this car is not about handling", you should know that the very same Continental beat the Rolls Royce Ghost in noise levels, overall comfort and handling again of course. So apparently that old the Phaeton platform is still better. Just get the Continental, I'm done here.

It's weird looking at someone drive on the left side of the road. I've been to the United Kingdom and if you don't look both ways for traffic, you may get hit. Love the car though.

haha you mean the red one on top gear? didn't look as good as this with albanian dust on it hahaha :P

omg, Britain needs better roads.

No, actually. Just as Jaguar is owned by Tata (an Indian company) but manufactured in Great Britain, Bentley is owned by a German company but manufactured and very much designed by Brits. Same with Lamborghini being owned by Audi (VW), but maintaining its Italian heritage. How you got so many up-votes on such misinformation amazes me..

yes because Parliament forbade Catholics from inheriting the crown in the Act of Settlement, so it passed on to the closest relative who was Protestant, hence the House of Hanover inheriting the throne.

This and the Phantom, the Germans are rather good at being British.

nothing is British nowadays.........:P

Monaro

Its not britishhhhh its german:)

"proud to be british" very Ironic dont thou think ? considering the car is literally German...

W would pick a Mercedes AMG (any) and a truckload of prostitues and a basket full of cocaine.
