Ultimately and despite its speedy name, the Mulsanne is meant to represent the flagship of the brand and unlike other Bentley models such as the Continental, the Mulsanne Speed is best experienced from the back seat.
Be it the perfectly crafted fold out tables that stick to a laptop or the dozens of massage functions one can enjoy while working (or sleeping), the Mulsanne would make an ideal choice for the ultra-busy entreupneour that values time and luxury as a unbreakable formula, over all else.
In the extreme comfort and unbelievably quite interior of the Mulsanne Speed, we traversed the roads of Abu Dhabi to visit both the Emirates Palace and Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, two amazing architectural masterpieces that highlight the cultural projections and substance of the UAE.
Wherever the Bentley stopped, it immediately became a hot spot for people wishing to take ‘selfies’ with it. At one stage we had to force our way through a busload of tourists just to get back in to the Mulsanne.
From there we travelled northeast along the E11 to hit Dubai, which is best described as a mixture of Hong Kong, Silicon Valley and Las Vegas on steroids (without the pollution, tackiness and gambling-focus of those respective cities).
On the highway the Mulsanne Speed is a force to be reckoned with. Once it gets going, its ability to effortlessly maintain high-speed or further increase speed (thanks to its enormous torque) is a delight. Although it’s rear-wheel drive only, we never felt any loss of grip thanks to the 265/40/R21 tyres.
