Bentley Reveals Updated 2017 Mulsanne, Adds New LWB Version
This is the 2017 Bentley Mulsanne, the brand’s updated flagship which now comes for the first time with an extended-wheelbase model.
Bentley revealed their top-end model prior to the official debut in Geneva Motor Show, presenting for the first time three distinct models in the Mulsanne family.
The really new one is none other than the Extended Wheelbase version, which offers 250mm (9.8 in.) of extra rear legroom for its noble passengers, airline-style extending legrests and a rear sunroof for their maximum pleasure.
The Mulsanne Speed remains the cruise missile of the range, offering 530hp and more importantly 1,100Nm (811lb ft) of torque for making every trip shorter and more enjoyable. 0-60mph comes in 4.9 seconds with the top speed rated at the most comfortable 190mph of the market.
Bentley revised the exterior of the Mulsanne by adding a completely redesigned front end which now features new fenders, bonnet, lights and that huge, imposing front grille. Front and rear bumpers have also been updated.
The cabin now hosts redesigned seats, new door trims and armrests, switchgear made of glass(!) and 24 different colors to choose from for the leather upholstery. Bentley has also installed a new touchscreen infotainment system with all the latest tech packed in it.
“The three distinct handcrafted models now available each offer customers something different,” said Wolfgang Dürheimer, Bentley CEO.
“The Mulsanne, with its understated elegance and sporting purpose, remains the consummate luxury limousine; the Mulsanne Speed is the pinnacle of luxury and performance thanks to its immense power, torque and refinement; and now the Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase – with its extraordinary airline-style seats and rear-passenger bias – becomes the new benchmark in automotive comfort.” carscoops.com

Bentley Continental GT with 22 inch D2Forged MB2 Wheels
The one you’re seeing right now is a modified Bentley Continental GT by Klutch22 which features a set of 22 inch D2Forged MB2 wheels. This presenting how the wheels need to have durability but don’t let go what’s called a style. How durable? This car has taken off by its owner for this year’s Bullrun Rally. Not only for occasion, but it got its roads along from Canada to the starting point of the Rally in Las Vegas.
Read how the car gets its a fully description at the press release after the break. Don’t miss to browse the gallery, they all are awesome pics.
Press Release:
A Bentley GT did the entire Bullrun rally on 22″ D2FORGED Wheels!!!
We are asked many times are our wheels durable. Can they stand the test of daily driving. Yes, they can. We got more than enough scientific data to prove it all, but one test, a test that goes greater lengths than any lab coat figure crunching scientist can bring you is the one to rule them all (no LOTR pun intended).
When you decide to enter into a partnership with a company like Klutch22, it can only go big. And big it went. Klutch22′s Bentley Continental GT was the vehicle selected to be the project car, it will prove to any non-believers what quality forged wheels can endure. With 22″ D2FORGED MB2′s to take the burden of a high mileage abuse, it was all set and done for a great adventure.
As you may already know, Bullrun Rally is one of the popular road race rallies going on in the United States for quite some time. Going from Las Vegas to Miami it’s no small feat, no matter what car you are doing it in. Combine that with driving on different roads, surfaces, damages to both the car and wheels are something that cannot be avoided.
But D2FORGED MB2 wheels and the Bentley Continental GT stood up to the challenge! Not only that! Owner and competitor in this year’s Bullrun Rally took his car all the way from Canada to the starting point of the Rally in Las Vegas!
So there you have it. After thousands of miles, after use and abuse of all kinds. Neither the car or the wheels showed any signs of weakness. Wait, there was one flat tire due to a nail. But hey, a small price to pay for great and amazing looks, great performance and worry-free driving on D2FORGED wheels.
