Bentley Mulsanne Speed FAQs

• Is the Bentley Mulsanne Speed discontinued?

  Once a big name in the Bentley line-up, the Mulsanne Speed was officially axed at the end of 2020 after its final year of production. The series was wrapped up with the Mulsanne 6.75 Edition, where just 30 examples of this ultra-limited-edition variant were produced. Following the end of the series, the Bentayga SUV has filled the void somewhat, but the luxury auto-maker is currently developing an electric vehicle in SUV guise that will add depth to the brand's line-up.

• What is a Bentley Mulsanne?

  The Bentley Mulsanne is a full-size luxury car manufactured by Bentley from 2010 until the end of its production run in 2020. Bentley derived the name from the Mulsanne Straight of the Le Mans racing circuit, a place where Bentley has had significant success in its racing career, winning the 24-hour race a total of six times. The Mulsanne was one of the few vehicles that Bentley developed internally in its entirety, and it didn't rely on Volkswagen or Rolls-Royce for its platform. The Mulsanne Speed ramps up the power and torque, taking performance to the next level.

• How long does it take to build a Bentley Mulsanne?

  One of the cars with meticulous craftsmanship, the Bentley Mulsanne takes extensive time to produce, with each unit taking as long as eight weeks or between 400-500 man hours to produce. That encompasses a level of attention to detail that is based on a blend of one-of-a-kind effort and engineering expertise. In contrast, some high-volume models take just 25 hours to produce, so that should tell you something about what Bentley puts into this high-end unit.
