2 1 3 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I E ven from a distance, the Mulsanne is unmistakeably a Bentley. Its looks steeped in history, tradition and breeding – yet with an array of modern, even futuristic, touches – place the car firmly in the 21st century. The headlamps, for example, feature LED lights all round their outer edge which provide dipped beams, while also shedding light on Bentley's attention to up-to-the-minute detailing. The whole front end of the car is in many ways an homage to the face of the classic 1950s S2. Its radiator surround, (in your choice of body-colour or chrome) retains that classical shape, while the chrome matrix of the grille itself harks back to decades of sporting heritage. Sitting atop that radiator, if you choose, (it's optional but I'd certainly specify it), is the beautifully sculpted 'Flying B' mascot that has graced some of the most beautiful and desirable cars of the century. As recognisable and evocative as the Rolls Royce 'Spirit Of Ecstasy', it is the perfect finishing touch and a symbol of the grace and style of a bygone age. As your gaze moves from that nose along those elegant wings, you can't help but notice the sweeping vents made from cast, polished stainless steel, cleverly emulating that iconic ‘Flying B’. Engraved with the Mulliner script, their flowing lines contribute to an impression of speed and movement, while the integrated black matrix grille provides a stylish contrast to the polished stainless steel.
