Could you stomach the fuel economy? What's your favorite BIG body Luxury car?
i can only intestine it
My V10 S8 is my favorite. Not as well equipped, only $130k sticker when new, but still costs $5.20 a gallon to fuel up
Might get indigestion but it's worth it for the taste I'd say :) And if the Alpina B7 counts as BIG body, then that's my favorite.
Easily THIS Mulsanne ❤ a true modern classic
A G63 (_not_ a big body luxury car) has similar fuel economy, particularly as that rumbustious engine begs to be thrashed. The fun factor is worth the price of admission at the pump, as I imagine that Mulsanne Speed is too, although I wouldn't want to daily-drive it. Weekend toy, anyone (who can afford it)?
That car looks at Tedward’s Civic Si and snorts, “peasant.”
They met briefly and it seemed cordial, but I could tell the Honda felt self conscious
@@TedwardDrives poor baby😢
To see a guy getting out of Mulsanne wearing an Acura hat 😂 Respect!
It's my favorite hat!
The ZF 8 speed is such a marvel of engineering dealing with heavy boats like this with heaps of torque with no shift shock at all while doing snappy shifts. On the flips side this same transmission can be tuned to drive like a DCT in performance applications. It's doing all of this while being bullet proof.
it's basically a DSG right?
@@jg54sayaka11 No, the DSG found in VWs is a dual-clutch transmission. This car has a torque-converter auto.
@@ARentz07 exactly ✌️😉
Totally agree. Massively versatile, fits every application from supercars to SUV, so compact sedans. Somehow it performs perfectly for everything it needs to do. Very well done by ZF.
Owned one ❤️ I kept up with an R8 new model on the autobahn, same exact acceleration until 270kmh! Rocket 🚀
Thats crazy! what do you do for a living?!
@@Terpenefiendpretty sure that’s the owner of a videogame company. look at his profile he has over 2mil subscribers
I’d have this over a Maybach S Class any day of the week. It’s such a special car, and I love that even though there are some indications in the interior that VW owns them, it still is very much a traditional Bentley. Absolute baller of a car.
Have daily driven my 2017 Mulsanne Speed 32k+ miles over the past 4+ years I've owned it. It's absolutely delightful and the perfect daily driver/kid car
This kid drifts his mulsanne💀💀
@@patrick_8625 he has one
We drive Bentleys and the thing I love the most about them is how heavy and solid they are. The steering is definitely heavier than all other cars, but it feels like you're actually driving and not sitting in something with artificial feel. I wish our gas prices here in California were that cheap. I filled up two weeks ago for $6.70 a gallon. Premium of course!
You drive a Bentley and complain about gas prices 🤔
@@cuddlemuffin.9545 I know a man who makes well over a million dollars a month. Lives in a home worth 750,000. It's not unheard of for people to not want to spend their money
@@cuddlemuffin.9545 I'm not complaining, but just stating the fact that Californians pay the highest gas prices in the U.S. Gas prices don't affect the rich as I tell my friends who complain, but I do feel for the working person who has to commute every day.
@@scottleyva8656 Stop complaining about gas prices. When you have to pay £1.85 per litre for premier then you can complain.
@@abemo4113 what does he do for a living ?
Love your videos, I love how your passion flows into every single drive. When I start driving, watching your videos and gaining so much knowledge will definitely help me in respecting the drive :)
enough torque to rotate the earth beneath it but enough comfort to make it all seem like a dream inside haha I gotta love it
perhaps one of my top choices for a road trip car
I loved the little fantasy at the end. That's totally how I picture starting my day as a Mulsanne owner... going to the country club gym even though I have one at home just so I can drive the Bentley.
I would love to see the new W12 flying spur if you can get your hands on one! I'm in this weird Bentley kick right now. One can dream!
Great review and video as always.
I remember back in 2016, this thing cost like 750k USD in my country, and when I first saw it running down a huge boulevard, I just can't stop thinking about its size, how elegant it looks and of course its speed, and that's the time I realise what a true Bentley should always be, just like my favorite one- Arnage T(2002-2005)!
Beatiful one! Im a big fan of Mulsannes
"piano black, that not everyone likes"
do not concern yourself, sir, help has been hired to keep it clean
😂 true.
My absolute dream car
I love Bentleys. They really exude off that English, classy look. Great video Tedward, have a pleasant day my man.
By the way, if you could get your hands on an Accord V6 coupe, I'm curious how you would feel about the car.
Well said, the Mulsanne is truly the last real "british" Bentley. The current Continental and Bentayga are also great but too VW/Audisch
Love the Art and the Luxury of the Bentley keep up the great vids Tedward!!!
In the high lux car world the mulsanne is somewhat of a bargain, you can pick up a ‘16 mulsanne speed like the one in the video with really good miles (like less than 10k) for under 175k, even some of the facelifted ones post-2017 can be found for under 200k, considering it next to the rolls Royce ghost it might even be a bit more car for the money
The pre-refresh Mulsanne Speed has always been my dream car ❤ I’m so glad you reviewed this beautiful, but sadly extinct, beast. I remember being in high school when the Mulsanne came out and being stunned at its presence during Pebble beach in 2010. No one puts you in the car quite like you do man 🤌❤
Thank you!
I saw this on the other day and another of the previous generation, what caught my attention was how it drives on the road. And that's I wasn't driving it ! The dynamics and the balance of the car is truly more of a "phantom" coming on the road .
Thank you for sharing the experience. I just close my eyes when you turn on the engine to imagine being in your place on the drivers seat of this dream of a car.
your channel is excellent Tedward - you are an outstanding car reviewer, the best I have come across on youtube.
Oh my God, I love the quintessential britishness of this beautiful barge..
Funny I was watching your last Mulsanne video before I went to bed last night. Then I wake up, and there's a new video! Perhaps its a sign...
$5.19/gallon seems like a really good price compared to Norway(and elsewhere in europe). Currently for 95 octane (91 octane in US) it's $2.59 per liter. That makes it $9.8/gallon 🥲
9:47 you really mean 22 and three quarters mpg, right?
YES! hahah you get it.
actually not too bad
In my personal opinion, the only issue with this breathtaking and gorgeous car is the engine. As far as I’m concerned, this Bentley makes use of the same V8 that was originally unveiled back in the late 50’s. Basically, it is the same engine that has been updated and updated for the last 6 decades, and it was the reason for which Bentley decided to end its production. Am I right? As always, your POVs are unmatched. Keep up with the great job you’ve done Tedward!
It is interesting you say it wasn't all "Volkswagened out" I spotted a LOT of Audi carryovers. The hood latch that you release is lifted from every single Audi and probably VW. The gauge cluster is just reskinned from the 2012 - 2017 A6/A7, same with the steering wheel controls, climate/seat controls, rear view mirror, and the infotainment is typical Audi MMI. Not knocking the car in fact I think its quite cool its riding on a custom Bentley chassis with a Bentley engine but has that Audi tactile button/knob click + Audi's amazing MMI
These are HUGE in person! Pictures don’t do it justice
*The size of the engine I think the daily running costs alone would have me filing for bankruptcy* 🤣
bahahaha
This thing has more torque than most pickup trucks!
I drive a low mileage W12 Flying Spur which weighs close to 6000 pounds. My impression is a taut, amazingly light feel on the road, and feeling much shorter than it actually is. My problem was its serenity at speed. Taking a normal right turn was scary at first because I thought I was slowing to 15 mph and was actually still at 40! Having a top speed just short of 200 mph is right down my alley, as cruising at 100 is quiet and effortless. Great video!
You’re rich! :D
Awesome vid man! 🔥
Technically it's probably got quite a lot more torque on the wheels than 8xx lb-ft in first, but hey. Great car and an amazing video anyways! 😎
my FAVOURITE car 😍😍😍😍😍
A Marvellous car and looking at this video feels most satisfying
Love the Dorothy shoe tap every time you enter the car. There’s no place like home… 😂
That interior is *gorgeous!* The color reminds me a lot of the tan interior option on the Lexus LC500 though.
The car for when your Unimog's at the shop but you need to pull a barn
It’s beautiful. Absolutely perfectly beautiful.
3:46 I caught the British pronunciation of Aluminium in honour of the Bentley 🎩🕵🏻♂️ Nice attention to detail 😆
Wow that engine sounds correct!
I've loved this body style Bentley since I first saw one. IMO the interior is far nicer and more detailed then the Phantom which I find rather plain, especially the Phantoms door panels. I've I had the means THIS would be my daily driver to waft around in LOL Sapphire Blue with Magnolia interior
Love your liking for the rolls and Bentley cars they are something else and even though owned by vw that's where the similarities end they are still hand crafted using the finest components and the greatest care is taken
Great video...from Italy....
Thank you!
Insane car!!!
Yeah. You said this car wasn't a Volkswagen but I see a lot of Volkswagen\Audi stuff in here.
The gear selector, the armrests for the front , the gauges in instruments although they wind opposite to each other.
Volkswagen bought Bentley back in '98
Remember what happened when Jeremy Clarkson drove the brooklands? Bye bye rear tires. 🤣
Too funny that at 17:27 they changed the name from Mobil Mart to Mobil Ma t. They knew that the Bostonians would call it Mobil Maht!
Seeing a Bentley drive by the roads I go on every day would leave me shocked
i like the colors of that car, friggin freeesh!
Great video. You should drive some classic muscle next!
Same engine in the Brooklands. But if you want better mpg go for 2011 to 2012. They got 24 highway 17 city
Tedward beautiful handcrafted coachbuiit Bentley Mulsanne speed
great video, it’s funny tho even before bentley was all vw/audi, they were borrowing from them, as you can see whitch the gauge cluster screen straight out the a6/7 and a8, even functions the same
Would be sweet if you could get your hands on a jaguar XJR ! Great video :)
You could probably convert this into electric easily because of all the space.
That’s beautiful
beautiful
This car screams "GET OUT OF MY WAY" but in a nice British way
Good morning!
6000 lb of conventional Bentley will become a 7500+ lb Bentley hybrid with 20-25 mi of all-electric range, if you intend to keep that 6-3/4 L classic! :)
This car looks nice
And they said the s55 had too much torque
This thing is still super Volkswageny lmao. My 2012 Audi A6 has the SAME steering wheel button layout and the EXACT SAME center gauge screen layout, just with different fonts/themes... This also has the exact same navigation as my A6.
Oh my god the screens are same!!!!
I love bentley, i live how luxury it is, how big 😁 i want own one 1 day. I think Bentley and rolls royce are the best cars to go green to go electric because they're big and heavy
@ 12:25 whoa, buddy.. 👀
"Insanity" is a strange adjective to apply to a car.
You should do video on lane discipline.
Nice to be reminded that the increasingly high cost of living does not affect everybody.
In Britain, petrol/diesel costs well over $8 per gallon.
My video on lane discipline has almost 1 million views. I guess I’ll make another one
Awesome!
Such a shame that the Rolls-Royce V8 is no longer with us. 1959-2020 RIP !!
Unreal looking at that highway and seeing the two right lanes completely empty and the left lane with a line of cars, why are people like this 😅
it was built by Bob Bishop?? Anybody remember Dave's Bentley from @DDE ??
Yes haha, bob the legend
Great collectors car. They will never make something with such an engine.
I would like to see a review from you on the first generation continental GT
Tedward the Bentley Mulsanne got discounted 2 years ago
3:46 Aluminium??? What kind of American are you???
Jokes aside, I have seen Mulsanne only once in my life. I was in Dubai and standing at a sidewalk at night besides Dubai mall, and I felt the ground shaking underneath my feet. First I got really scared and thought it is a earthquake, but then I realized that a Mulsanne was idling behind the red light just besides me. It was in light metallic blue color. Later that night I saw a Phantom, what a glorious car, what a glorious night 😁
oh my god he's hot 3:27 from one straight man to another(assumption), you're doing well for yourself, sir.
Bob Bishop builds the best Bentleys!
Combining such an engine with anything hybrid is a bad idea. Rolls Royce gets it: no compromise. Either all out ICE, or 100% electric. Nothing in between.
A beautiful piece of engineering but those gauges would annoy me
Plug in hybrid? With 30 miles of range?
I’m inclined to believe the end result would be so unbelievably heavy that you would need a professional drivers license and special tires 😂
Any more special than they already have? I mean it does cost almost 400K.
8:28 for launch
Hard to grasp the size in video.. first time one came into my shop i was shocked.
VW acquired Bentley in 98’ ..
Correct. And this Bentley doesn’t share a chassis or powertrain with any VW or Audi. It’s the one that slipped through the cracks long beyond the buyout.
@@TedwardDrives I didn’t know that …
Carbon fiber does not suit this car's interior at all, it's like using wood in a modern Ferrari!
Does it have blind spot detection?
Why the last real Bentley? The new continental GT Speed is the best Bentley ever build. Its the perfect gran turismo.
VW bought Bentley in 2004 so the 2009Euro Mulsanne you show in the Video is Volkswagen too. I dont like the fact that the big groups buy everything but the build quality increased since VW bought Bentley.
😍😍😍😍🇬🇧🇬🇧 bentley mulsanne
5:33 you mean Mark from Savagegeese lol
I didn’t know you were such chad, you look great😮👍
say no to vw bmw engines!!
8:34 sounds a bit like the early BeamNg.Drive engine sound.
5$ per Gallon is nothing. In germany you pay well over 2$ for one Liter.
Let me know if you're interested in doing a similar video with a 2016 Rolls-Royce Ghost. (I'm not too far from the area where you film most of your drives.)
Was this a face reveal video???
Could probably tow a house lol
we pulled down the barn with the Unimog a couple weeks ago...This might have also done the job lol
🔥
first baby
😂
The turn signal cancel is way too loud. How gauche.
@@bwofficial1776 But you've stated these are commonly only used in cities. Most likely as the country folk are way too conservative, not wanting to show off ...even in a Bentley, which is typically underplayed from the likes of a Rolls.
Always enjoy your content, thanks.
