The vehicle is without a doubt an incredible arrangement of wheels for chauffer obligations, be that as it may, it won't baffle you while possessing the driver's seat.

The “Bentley” mode is the default setting for the ride that strikes an ideal balance between the comfort and dynamic configurations. Second, comes the “Sport” mode that tilts things more towards the performance front. This mode lowers the ride height, increases grip, and body control and enhances the driver’s connection with the surface.

Bentley Mulsanne vs. Rolls Royce Ghost ll

What do we even need to say about the Rolls; simply put - its the pinnacle of the heights of opulence the human race could ever reach. The mammoth from the legendary Rolls Royce satisfies its name and demonstrates its class and magnificence in each viewpoint. Somewhat higher on the value point, the Rolls Royce Ghost still performs at standard with the Bentley Mulsanne. However, the one thing that the “Flying B” would never be able to achieve is the drama that unfolds when the “Spirit of Ecstacy” makes its way out of the front bonnet.

The Brand’s legacy and history totally come into play in the case of Mulsanne. The ride is a super handsome package of power, performance, and plushness. Though when placed against the rivals, it kind of underperforms in terms of utility and power, yet it is absolutely worthy of its (wallet-smashing) price tag.
