The 2013 Geneva Motor Show, which will take place in the first days of March, will be the places where the latest Bentley to meet the market will be premiered – the upgraded 2014 Bentley Mulsanne. The model, which will be launched to sale in April, hasn’t actually been modified in terms of appearance.
The brand has focused on the car’s interior for now, having installed a brand new entertainment and communication system, a set of hand-made fitted luggage, brand new color options and better comfort. There’s also an optional package, the Comfort Specification, which includes new footrests, duck down filled loose cushions and headrests.
There is also an Entertainment Specification, which provides new tables for an iPad and wireless keyboard, alongside a Wi-Fi Hotspot. The standard package further includes a rear door armrest storage compartment which can be used for either Bluetooth headphones for the Rear Seat Entertainment System or storage spot for mobile phones.
In addition, the 2014 Bentley Mulsanne will also be equipped with twin 8-inch LCD screens inserted into the headrests, a DVD player, top notch sound system and a greedy 20 GB HDD. For those willing to stay tuned permanently, the car features a Wi-Fi router with high speed Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS) phone module and SIM card reader. What a large phone this is!
Performance wise, the 2014 Bentley Mulsanne gets propelled by a 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V8 which generates 505 HP (377 kW) at 4,200 RPM and 1,020 Nm (752 lb-ft) of torque at 1,750 RPM. The Mulsanne is able to sprint from naught to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.3 seconds up to a top speed of 184 mph (296 km/h). No word on the price!
