Bentley Mulsanne is over

Bentley’s flagship, Mulsanne, is permanently retired. Bentley CEO Adrian Hallmark told Top Gear about this. For more than 100 years, these huge luxury limousines have provided the basis for the offering. This is what Bentley and Rolls-Royce became known for. About the strong, comfortable four-door. The world, on the other hand, is changing in a different direction and Mulsanne simply would not play a role in this.

“It’s the real symbol of how the automotive industry is changing,” Adrian Hallmark said. He also added that saying goodbye to the top model is not only sad, but also a huge challenge, as Flying Spur will have to take over part of its role.

When the Arnage was still running, 1,200 of it was sold annually, of which Mulsanne had only 500 a year. Since then, there are three times as many high-income people in the world. Most of these buyers are in America and China and are getting younger. They follow the trends, which is why they choose a leisure car, which is why the luxury limousine segment is in critical decline.

The Bentayga has been on the market for almost five years and is steadily gaining ground over classic models like the Mulsanne. Not by the way, the Mulsanne will be built in 400 hours of work. They are all made to order, with plenty of needlework, which results in high costs.
