2017 Bentley Mulsanne Speed
You can’t miss
Bentley’s facelifted version of the Mulsanne Speed in that yellow shade with a
greenish tint at their Geneva Motor Show stand.
The facelift for the sportiest version
of what is otherwise, a fully-fledged luxury automobile, comes less than two
years since Bentley first introduced the Speed variant into the Mulsanne range
at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
Bentley saw no need to interfere with
the Mulsanne Speed’s mighty 6.75 liter twin-turbo V8 engine that continues to
produce 537 PS and a monstrous 1,100 Nm of torque paired to a
model-specific tuned version of ZF 8-speed automatic.
The Speed flies 0‑100 km/h in 4.9 sec and has a top speed of 305
km/h, which are pretty impressive figures for a car that weighs 2,685 kg.
Well, pretty much the same as the rest of the Mulsanne lineup, meaning a
revised front end with new bumper, bonnet, grilles and lights, a reprofiled
bumper and new lights on the tail, and a refreshed interior with a new 8-inch
touchscreen for the infotainment system, added tech features, and revisions to
the seats, some switchgear and door panels.
The Mulsanne Speed was accompanied at
the Swiss show by the rest of the updated Mulsanne range, including the new
extra-long Grand Limousine version by Mulliner.
