Bentley adds a sportier edge to stately driving in Mulsanne Speed luxury sedan - New York Daily News
I’d driven a run-of-the-mill Mulsanne several years ago here in lower Manhattan (yes, I love those moments in my career when I can talk about driving only the normal Mulsanne). At 219 inches long and 76 inches wide (not taking the side mirrors into account), the Mulsanne is awfully close to the dimensions of a Chevrolet Suburban sport-utility. The exterior of the Mulsanne Speed is highlighted with dark tint used on the car’s brightwork, specifically the front grille, headlight surrounds, and side vents on the fenders. Rolling on 21-inch alloys, the Mulsanne is entirely modern, though the upright proportions give this Bentley the look of a luxury car from decades ago. If you want a car that fits like a glove, forget it. With the new Mulsanne Speed, Bentley did tighten the suspension and give the steering more feel than before. Wisely, Bentley U. S. A. also chose to unleash me onto empty roads surrounding the hipster haven of Austin, Texas, rather than roads originally laid out when New York was still known as New. Source: www.nydailynews.com
