The Bentley Mulsanne represents four decades of British luxury, engineering tradition, and quietly formidable performance. Introduced in 1980 as a dignified Crewe-built saloon, the nameplate evolved from the stately SZ-generation models into the independently developed 3Y flagship that crowned Bentley’s range from 2010 to 2020.
This category explores every major expression of the Mulsanne character. Discover the understated refinement of the original naturally aspirated model, the rear-seat space of the early long-wheelbase version, and the Mulsanne Turbo that helped restore Bentley’s sporting identity. Later guides examine the balanced Mulsanne S, the modern 505 hp flagship, the sharper 530 hp Speed, the chauffeur-focused Extended Wheelbase, and the rare 6.75 Edition by Mulliner—created as a final tribute to both the Mulsanne and Bentley’s long-serving L-series V8.
Each article goes beyond headline specifications. You will find detailed coverage of performance, chassis engineering, cabin craftsmanship, production changes, maintenance priorities, common age-related concerns, authenticity, provenance, and pre-purchase inspection. Whether you are researching a classic SZ saloon, comparing modern Mulsanne variants, or considering ownership of Bentley’s last traditional flagship, this collection provides the technical context and practical guidance needed to understand these exceptional cars.
