The Mulsanne is Bentley's new flagship full-size (and then some) sedan. In its creation, little concern was given to cost since, with a car like this, expense only adds to the allure.
Riding on optional 21-inch wheels -- 20-inch rims are standard -- the long Mulsanne looks like the prototypical rich man's car.
Outside, the body has few visible seams except for those around door, trunk and hood openings so the entire body looks as if it had been pressed out of a single piece of metal. (It wasn't, but the seams between panels are hidden using painstaking and, of course, costly welding processes.)
