The Bentley Mulsanne is a (performance) luxury car which was produced by Bentley Motors Limited from 1980 until 1992. Introduced in 1980 replacing the Bentley T series, the Mulsanne was the kissin cousin to the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit.

 

Launched simply as the Mulsanne, taking its name from the famous straight on the Le Mans 24 hour circuit, the Mulasnne was powered by a normally aspirated Bentley 6750cc V8 engine with aluminium alloy cylinder heads. Two SU carburettors. Although the original car was no slouch, in 1982 the normally aspirated Mulsanne was joined by the Mulsanne Turbo which featured a Garrett AiResearch turbocharger which provided a 50%. increase in engine power.

 

In 1987 both models were replaced in the Bentley line up, the Mulsanne by the normally aspirated Mulsanne S which would continue in production into 1992, with a further 970 cars built. The Mulsanne Turbo by the Bentley Turbo R
