The best line in a video yet when talking about the heat emitted by the engine: "If you hit a pedestrian, I don't know if you'll kill them or cook them." Also a nice look into a different world. Thanks much.
Twin turbos? My guess is that the head gaskets won't last any more than 50K. Drove one a few years ago (friend bought it) and the "porpoising" the reviewer described was very real and more annoying than one might expect. He sold the car after less than 2 years and was VERY happy that he could even find a buyer.
A car that costs north of $400K better make breakfast, wash clothes, pay my mortgage, and never need any maintenance. That's a boat load of dough. Even if I could afford one, I would never justify spending that much on a car. However, this CNET vid was fun to watch as I'm impressed with what comes on a car at this price segment.
North America is a big place. It costs a buttload more to get a car from it's port of origin or place of manufacture to a dealer on this side than it does over there.
I really don't understand how an automatic picnic table, 2 iPad's and 2 wireless keyboards can be worth north of 33 grand. Unless Bentley owners are stupid with their money, no one should be paying for that option.
Now THAT'S a car. I like coupes way more than sedans, but if I were super rich, I might have to choose this over a Continental GT just because you get two more doors. Two more BENTLEY doors, and more of anything Bentley is never a bad thing.
The reason it costs so much is because just about every single part of the car has great detail, especially the interior. Polished steel, special leather, special wood trim, there is just so much attention to detail.
Of course you wouldn't. Might be ugly, but somehow they did something right because they're selling more than the Azure and Brooklands combined, and those cars looked HOT!
If its 58,000 for a drop down screen, cooler and 2 ipads... i gotta wonder how much car is in the 350k base price!! Maybe the deprecation shows the true value compared to other 350/400k cars that dont depreciate anywhere near this (Which you can buy for under 50k in the UK now) [2019]
It would compete with the phantom in a way because the flying spur would be the ghost but then size wise it could very well compete with the ghost... but it would probably be the phantom due to the price tag
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! This car review most definitely changed my mind about the Mulsanne. I thought it would be worth the money to buy it but after watching this review, im going to look else where. Im subscribing! You guys do some really great work!
Princeston Mitchell Me too. I was gutted when they want to charge 15,000 dollars extra for two iPads. I'm gonna look elsewhere as well. I'm thinking Rolls Royce. I'm planning to live in the car and putting my college tuition into it as well, oh and the retirement fund too.
You can't fault Bentley for supplying a silly option and charging almost $60k for it. Anyone with any business buying a new Bentley can afford that stuff easily, and some would likely buy it. Nobody said it would be a sensible purchase.
In an Audi A8L, you can stretch out your legs completely in the rear seat along with a footrest. I wish Bentley Mulsanne and Rolls Royce Phantom had the same option, because someone stepping up from the A8L to the Mulsanne or Phantom wouldn't feel as settled up like on the A8L but would definitely feel more comfortable...
Review proves my inner thoughts. Bentley and Rolls are inappropriate for Yankoons despite the sales by them, purely as a showoff. Its the only gigantic limousine I cannot take my eyes off. Its NOT the electronics, NOT the power. Its the gracefulness. Devour every line from photos.
Cant believe this car shares similar wheels with the likes of golf r and some s line or quattro audis. Also, that screen? Out of an audi a4 from the looks of it? Wish i could understand what justifies the price of this car, a lot of the tech is shared from the vw group.
Thats true Rolls are more expensive, but u get nothing but a badge. They don't have half the options the Mulsanne does. The Bentley is the better deal.
Well, I don't have to worry about driving because people who can afford either one of these cars would pay a chauffeur to drive the car while the owner would be relaxing at the back, where most of the interesting tech lives.
Good review but would have preferred to hear the cabin noise levels when driving instead of outdated Drum music machine. Reviewers need to understand that these Luxury cars are never meant to be Sport cars and it would be much better if Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) tests were done.
The mulsanne is a great car... but for its price it is going close to a Maybach, which is the real symbol of luxury...if one has the money, wouldnt the maybach be a better choice (N.B. they are supposed to be chauffeured cars)
Yeah and I had a Rolls Royce but took it back for an Acura. I'm pretty sure that if you have a Bentley, you're not on UA-cam looking up mindcraft and Lego videos.
I think this is the first car where you din't say anything negative.. Either they paid you really well or its simply a perfect car... I think both is true lol
Just because it costs more doesn't mean it's any better. What is so special about a Rolls today anyways. You're just paying for the badge, The Ghost is basically just a 7 series in better clothing. Their style is kind of bland now.
The Same can really be said for most luxury cars. I love Bentley, don't get me wrong, in fact one of my top five favorite cars is the Brooklands, but I was just saying, the guy aove me's statement is a load of bullcrap. This car does not make the Phantom look like a Fiesta, not in the least. The Phantom is still the preferred car to be driven in.
Not crazy about this particular model. Don't care for the headlights nor the two tone 80's exterior color remind me of our neighbors 1987 Lincoln Continental color. When they bought it brand new. ..lol love the interior very nice looks like I'd go to sleep whiles my chauffeur is driving it's very grand of course.
If the hood does get too hot, then I'd use synthetic oil in this expensive car. I guess when I own or drive any car, I will only use 100% synthetic oil, so the engine in the vehicle will have more life.
The best line in a video yet when talking about the heat emitted by the engine: "If you hit a pedestrian, I don't know if you'll kill them or cook them." Also a nice look into a different world. Thanks much.
This is the definition of success, wow I'm in love with this.
This in begie or silver, add a exotic supercar car like a 488 or 720s and thats a nice combo for me personally . My favourite sedan Bentley has made.
Just sit back and wait....and let depreciation do it’s job 😂
its
Abdul Aden yeah you can get these as a steal rn
@@jordanbanko5347 The market has priced them appropriately but note the velocity of depreciation as well.
@@wholeNwon they are still expensive
@@emekaiheanacho6971 It's relative. The point is the depreciation has been enormous. There are reasons for that.
The table that they sit on is made of real chrome and leather. Exquisite materials and executed flawlessly in an electronic module.
Twin turbos? My guess is that the head gaskets won't last any more than 50K. Drove one a few years ago (friend bought it) and the "porpoising" the reviewer described was very real and more annoying than one might expect.

This was peak Cooley. Car has lost 320,000 in value since this video was posted btw.
buy the dip !!!!!
Can't believe this was 8 years ago!
The 58k Theatre Spec is price of a midrange BMW..
that the thing dont compaire it to BMW its a Bentley...
Jacinto Reign i still like bmw way better than bentley any day
58k will get you a new fully loaded 328i.
58k for a 328 just go with a m3 thanks cuz i was about to buy one
M3 start at the low 60's

check out the lightning adapter from Apple. if you are considering purchasing this Bentley I am sure 30 extra bucks wont hurt. Happy Hunting
I love the way he wore a suit to introduce the Bentley!!
Brain is hilarious, dude say if you hit a someone you'll cook them illustrating how hot the engine compartment is LOL....
MrMiamiswaggz305 Brian !
I really don't understand how an automatic picnic table, 2 iPad's and 2 wireless keyboards can be worth north of 33 grand. Unless Bentley owners are stupid with their money, no one should be paying for that option.
And 25 or so inch TV 58000 dollars :)))
Nice. Can I get it in blue with tan interior?
Great Classic BC review as always
I'm getting one of these one day...
same. the day seems far.
I will too Lex once I get to the pinnacle of my career lol. :)
I'm getting a bugatti veyron vitesse, im getting tired of my laferrari.
You shouldn't have to wait long considering the depreciation rate.
Have you gotten it yet 😁
Now THAT'S a car. I like coupes way more than sedans, but if I were super rich, I might have to choose this over a Continental GT just because you get two more doors. Two more BENTLEY doors, and more of anything Bentley is never a bad thing.
+Frank Burns Or you could get the Flying Spur
very good review thank you! the integrated mac Mini sold it for me! A car where I can work from at a very short notice is a must.
The reason it costs so much is because just about every single part of the car has great detail, especially the interior. Polished steel, special leather, special wood trim, there is just so much attention to detail.
Ah, you drank the Kool-Aid.
I live in Europe and never heard of Destination Charge. What is it? Is it a shipping cost for a car from Crew, England?
Was that a coyote at 6:35 ?
Of course you wouldn't. Might be ugly, but somehow they did something right because they're selling more than the Azure and Brooklands combined, and those cars looked HOT!
Which is the Best out of the Mulsanne or Phantom in terms of Luxury,Power and Craftsmanship, what would people go for between the two.
Get this man to review the cars that's in the market now
The Mulsanne makes every journey an occasion. Only Rolls Royce achieves the same feeling.....
If its 58,000 for a drop down screen, cooler and 2 ipads... i gotta wonder how much car is in the 350k base price!! Maybe the deprecation shows the true value compared to other 350/400k cars that dont depreciate anywhere near this (Which you can buy for under 50k in the UK now) [2019]
It comes with an iPod Touch?
Does the Mulsanne compete with the Rolls Royce Phantom or the Ghost?
Phantom. The ghost should compete with the flying spur.
Royson Tong
Thanks : )
You are most welcome :)
It would compete with the phantom in a way because the flying spur would be the ghost but then size wise it could very well compete with the ghost... but it would probably be the phantom due to the price tag
ok

What the hell? Who crotch were you pulled out of!?
2012: I have 3g!
2021: .......... aren't you pretty.
You can't fault Bentley for supplying a silly option and charging almost $60k for it. Anyone with any business buying a new Bentley can afford that stuff easily, and some would likely buy it. Nobody said it would be a sensible purchase.
why am i even watching this? its not like i have the money to buy just one tyre....hahahahahahaha....
In an Audi A8L, you can stretch out your legs completely in the rear seat along with a footrest. I wish Bentley Mulsanne and Rolls Royce Phantom had the same option, because someone stepping up from the A8L to the Mulsanne or Phantom wouldn't feel as settled up like on the A8L but would definitely feel more comfortable...
$409k... that's a decent mortgage here in Minnesota. In LA, that's a cardboard box lol
Good job apple! Now I have to buy a new Bentley cuz u changed your dock!
The back seat is like a hotel LOL
where are the cup holders?
lol I love this guy. "If you hit a pedestrian I'm not sure if you're gonna kill em or cook em!"
Damn, much hasn't changed in 5 years!
Review proves my inner thoughts. Bentley and Rolls are inappropriate for Yankoons despite the sales by them, purely as a showoff.
Its the only gigantic limousine I cannot take my eyes off. Its NOT the electronics, NOT the power. Its the gracefulness. Devour every line from photos.
I would be much happier with a brand new CT6. Now, that's assuming ID have the money for either.
Cant believe this car shares similar wheels with the likes of golf r and some s line or quattro audis. Also, that screen? Out of an audi a4 from the looks of it? Wish i could understand what justifies the price of this car, a lot of the tech is shared from the vw group.
Thats true Rolls are more expensive, but u get nothing but a badge. They don't have half the options the Mulsanne does. The Bentley is the better deal.
With a champagne fridge, sir. With a champagne fridge.
Well, FYI, even though the Ghost looks better, there is more tech in a Bentley so I would buy the Mulsanne still.
I love my 2012 Mulsanne, I dont have the trays, just the tv screens in the rear
Well, I don't have to worry about driving because people who can afford either one of these cars would pay a chauffeur to drive the car while the owner would be relaxing at the back, where most of the interesting tech lives.

Can't wait for the XJ review..
theater spec = BOSS
most of the cost is for that mechanical picnic table thing im assuming
HAHAHAHA I just shit my pants... "What is this? A UPS truck?"
Check the website, this cars costs 8.6 million yuan in China, about 1.5 million USD...So I think buyers in US have a nice bargain
It’s sad that Bentley stopped making these beauty’s
Can you take out the iPad and put anAndroid ?
is this mulsanne mulliner
*Sarcasm* Its the revolutionary designed keyboard that gives you a 30,000$ work pricetag.
This or the Ghost? One of the toughest questions in the car world.
you can see some of the audi influence in this car especially with the technology
I believe the fridge is actually part of the $58,000 theater package.
5:58-6:07
So it's basically a Hyundai Equus with real wood and chrome. It is a gorgeous interior though.
Why a mac mini..?
what does CHP means??
Just curious, since CNET already did a review on the Bentley flagship car, why not do a review on a Rolls-Royce?
it's named after the straightaway not the corner.
Thanks. Didn't know that.
Actually the champagne fridge comes with the $58,000 theater package, not with the $33,000 ipad package.
A few seconds in I realized this car reminds me of the Cognoscenti from GTA IV.
so it does!
This guy is a ducking legend
I love the scenery.
Was that a fox at 6:35
OWNED.
The mulsanne is a great car... but for its price it is going close to a Maybach, which is the real symbol of luxury...if one has the money, wouldnt the maybach be a better choice (N.B. they are supposed to be chauffeured cars)
Yeah and I had a Rolls Royce but took it back for an Acura. I'm pretty sure that if you have a Bentley, you're not on UA-cam looking up mindcraft and Lego videos.
CNET reviews the tech, Jeremy Clarkson or well, Top Gear review the car performance.
how come?
What the hell? I thought Jeremy Clarkson tested the Mulsanne in Albania and said it was crap :P
amazing review !
muito loco esse carro
I think this is the first car where you din't say anything negative.. Either they paid you really well or its simply a perfect car... I think both is true lol
THERE GO Y U N G D U N O
WOW!!! IMA GO TO THE DEALERAHIP RIGHT AWAY. TY TY
CANT WAIT TO GO BUY
Manuel Va buy me one please !
Just because it costs more doesn't mean it's any better. What is so special about a Rolls today anyways. You're just paying for the badge, The Ghost is basically just a 7 series in better clothing. Their style is kind of bland now.
Gas guzzler tax! BS! Thanks a lot uncle sam!
The Same can really be said for most luxury cars. I love Bentley, don't get me wrong, in fact one of my top five favorite cars is the Brooklands, but I was just saying, the guy aove me's statement is a load of bullcrap. This car does not make the Phantom look like a Fiesta, not in the least. The Phantom is still the preferred car to be driven in.
Who connected a Droid 4 to this car, and why is anyone from CNET using a Droid 4?
it makes me proud to be British!
Not crazy about this particular model. Don't care for the headlights nor the two tone 80's exterior color remind me of our neighbors 1987 Lincoln Continental color. When they bought it brand new. ..lol love the interior very nice looks like I'd go to sleep whiles my chauffeur is driving it's very grand of course.
I understand that this car is extremely expensive but 33k for the iPads is just insane. 10k, while still ridiculous, wouldn't be to bad however.
If the hood does get too hot, then I'd use synthetic oil in this expensive car. I guess when I own or drive any car, I will only use 100% synthetic oil, so the engine in the vehicle will have more life.
There is no way in hell that tech option can be worth 58K!! That's insane even for a car of that stature!!
Yeah besides the fact that its going to be on every driveway of 1m dollar houses and in the lots of many limo companies.
The Rolls Royce Phanto costs $105,000 more than a base Mulsanne.
The iPads in the backseat are a $30k option.
drive a Bentley, and save gas. LOL
I can't even afford that type of tech on its own, let alone in a Bentley!
One word: Genius
Wow, one day! When I can ever win a bet at the bookies
rhymes with insane.
