New Mulsanne also gets a redesigned front look. This new look is dominated by a large stainless steel vertical-vane grille, 80 mm wider than before. On the inside, the car has a completely new infotainment system with class-leading navigation technology. It also features a selection of on-board infotainment systems for audio and visual entertainment on the move. The core of the new system is an all-new touch-screen-based infotainment platform with additional haptic controls, classic analogue gauges and state-of-the-art rear-seat entertainment. The main 8” display touch screen is connected to a 60 GB solid-state hard drive for the storage of on-board media. The mighty 6.8-litre V8 develops 505bhp and 1,020Nm of torque. This power is channeled through an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. The sprint to 100kmph takes just 5.1 seconds and the top speed is recorded at 296 km/h.
