Bentley’s boosted the exclusivity of its Mulsanne range with a new longer ultra-luxury limo.

Unimaginatively named the Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase, Bentley’s placed an extra 250mm in between the axles of its flagship, taking the car’s wheelbase to 3516mm and length to 5825mm.

Of course, the new girth also affords the Mulsanne heightened levels of luxury. The firm claims every millimetre of new wheelbase doubles as new rear legroom. Meanwhile, new optional ‘airline-style’ reclining rear seats offer “the most supportive footrests in the industry”.

As usual with stalwarts like Bentley, there’s more leather inside than a furniture showroom, while a panoramic sunroof, electric curtains, and fridge beef up its luxurious appeal. The interior leather can also be splashed in 24 different colours and 13 different types of wood panelling.

Bentley makes a reach for Rolls-Royce with the Extended Wheelbase, as the new Mulsanne is only slightly shorter than a Phantom. Whether it’ll clear under the Phantom’s $855K (AU) remains to be seen until it lands in Australia later this year.
