While Volkswagen Group did start acquiring Bentley in the early 2000’s, that did not stop the British marque from developing and building models in Crewe. The Mulsanne, designed as a new flagship and entirely developed in-house, was meant as a substitute for the decade-old Arnage. Unveiled at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance in 2009, it greatly improved on its predecessor’s driving dynamics and technological package.

Bespoke is the name of the game with the Mulsanne. With over 100 colour options and 20+ carpet and wood choices, this flagship was offered in a luxurious ‘Mulliner’ specification (2012+), a sporty ‘Speed’ specification (2014+) with an extra 25hp and suspension tuning, long-wheelbase and limousine variants (2016), and a multitude of special editions, such as the Diamond Jubilee, Blue Train, and Le Mans models. The final ‘6.75 Edition’ featured the last iteration of Bentley’s signature V8 engine, produced for 60 years without interruption.

A quick note for our USA friends: this vehicle is not a North American specification, and cannot be legally imported to the United States until it is 25 years of age or older. For Canada, this limit is brought down to 15 years of age or older.
