Bentley Mulsanne (2010) in Red (1:43 scale)
- The name Mulsanne is nothing new to Bentley. For the first time the British producer used this name from 1980 onwards for the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit. Later on he was build under name Brooklands until 1998 & was then succeeded by the Arnage, whose coupé was still named Brooklands. The new Mulsanne, until now called “ Grand Bentley”, is not based on the Rolls platform anymore, but was created & developed by Bentley.
It is more than a challenge to hit the taste of Bentley’s customers, which is the combination of tradition, luxury & understatement. The first impression underlines that the surgery was successful. The Mulsanne keeps its Bentley classic quadruple eye face, but interprets it in a new way with different sized headlight reflectors & the futuristic LED lights. The vertically divided grille as well as the typical shadow line of the chassis is also kept to hold on to Bentley’s corporate identity; the front bumper was pepped up with a lower “nose” sticking out & the non three ways divided air intake.
