New 2017 Bentley Mulsanne

The brand new 2017 Bentley Mulsanne is a car that's loaded to the brim with luxury. Although this car is more for the business executive that likes to be chauffeured around the city, it's also a driver's car. Let's take a look.

This particular Mulsanne is finished in a dark Beluga exterior finish, with an all black interior that's very sleek and stealthy yet also remains very classy. Bentley has some of the finest leather quality in any luxury vehicle of this caliber, and feels very soft at the touch and is very comfortable to sit in. Surprisingly unlike most other Bentley's, this Mulsanne is powered by a 6.8 liter twin turbo V8 engine, other than the regular W12, but still manages to generate more than 400 horsepower, which give this car a bit of "oomph" for a luxury sedan.

Next year, the Bentley Continental GT is getting a whole new makeover of sorts. The new Continental has a modernized look to it, and overall looks much more aerodynamic than the current model.

This vehicle has an overall sleeker and stealthier look about it, all the while keeping the sporty look it's known for. Not much has been revealed about the new Continental GT, but our guess is that we'll find a newly upgraded W12 engine, and an improved suspension system. Much remains to be seen, but we believe that this will be the best Continental GT yet.
