Despite a notably hefty curb weight measurement, the Mulsanne provides impressive performance and handling, as you'd expect from a vehicle with a rich racing heritage. The 6.75-liter twin-turbo V8 in the front of the Bentley Mulsanne sends power to the rear wheels exclusively via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The power plant produces 506 hp and 752 lb-ft of torque, allowing the luxury limo to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 5.1 seconds. Top speed is also impressive, with the limiter offering a discreet "ahem" at 184 mph. The Extended Wheelbase, despite its increased weight and size, manages the same top-end speed but lags slightly in the sprint from 0-60 mph, getting there two tenths of a second later than the regular model. In comparison to the Rolls-Royce Ghost, the Mulsanne is almost 30 mph faster at the top, but cannot match the Ghost's 4.7-second sprint time. If you must have the fastest Mulsanne that Bentley offers, the Mulsanne Speed is available, a model that we review separately. 2020 Mulsanne Performance Photos
Bentley Bentley Bentley Engine and Transmission
Just one engine and transmission configuration is on offer here, and with such impressive performance, it's tough to judge Bentley for this. The 6.75-liter V8 in the Mulsanne is aided by a pair of turbochargers and produces 506 horses and 752 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic controls shifts as you'd expect, since nobody who can afford to be driven in one of these would risk spilling their champagne as a result of a jerky manual gear shift. As you can guess, the auto is remarkably smooth and refined and manages gear changes with efficiency and slick operation. The engine is similarly masterful, with a strong presence of power but little in the way of noise or vibration. The entire powertrain is designed to be smooth, strong, and totally refined. Due in part to the engine's capacity, the Mulsanne feels hurried rather than fast but isn't wanting for low-end torque nor top-end grunt. The gearbox also offers a manual mode with steering-mounted shifters letting the driver take full control of the shifts. 2020 Bentley Mulsanne Performance Specs

As you'd expect from an engine that carries 6.75 liters of displacement along with a pair of turbochargers, fuel economy is the only stumbling block to the perfect road-trip companion's goal of providing ultimate comfort. With official EPA figures of 10/16/12 mpg, the 25.4-gallon gas tank runs out sooner rather than later, with mixed range estimated at around 305 miles - not that this is likely to deter any potential buyers. 2020 Bentley Mulsanne Fuel Capacity
