Indeed, the interior is distinguished by a remarkable acreage of polished wood, meant to give the car 'the feel of a living room' (presumably a wood-panelled one). Wriggle your feet into the deeper pile carpets specially created to offer an unparalleled level of comfort. To bring out a richer leather smell, a traditional tanning process is used and ancient cabinet-making techniques like ‘mirror matching’ for applying veneer are employed for the woodwork.

But don’t be deceived by this classic look. Beneath the surface is the best technology available, from advanced electronic systems to four-zone air conditioning and state-of-the-art soundproofing.
Music enthusiasts will love the latest premium audio system, designed exclusively for the Bentley Mulsanne by Naim, a British company recognised by audiophiles as a world-class purveyor of specialist sound systems.

The specs on the new Bentley Mulsanne are staggering and what's more, it generates all its power from a petrol engine. Not just any engine it's a massive 6.75-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 505 horsepower and a whopping 752 lb-ft of torque.

The new Mulsanne has a new Driver Dynamics Control system with a mode simply called 'Bentley'. In addition to 'Bentley', there's also 'Sport' and 'Comfort', and a fourth option, 'Custom', which allows you to tune the steering and suspension through the new multimedia system.

Besides setting the Driver Dynamics Control from the advanced key fob when approaching the vehicle, you can also use it to set radio stations, phone books, seat position (including hot/cold ventilation and massage), steering wheel, seat belt position and even the rear window blinds.

If the key ring has that much power imagine what it's like to drive the Mulsanne, or even better, ride in the back seat.
