Bentley’s Mulsanne Mulliner Limousine Is Long, Strong, Down to Get the Chauffeurin’ On

It’s too close to the announcement of the Continental GT Monster by Mulliner for the Mulsanne Grand Limousine by Mulliner to be intentional atonement for that brand-tarnishing sin, but this elongated behemoth definitely goes a stretch toward convincing us that things are mostly right at Bentley’s customizing division.

Assuming they’d rather not have the driver looking in on such moments, there’s an electrochromic glass divider between the front and rear that allows the passengers to darken it according to their whim.

We hear that you can spec it with a caviar-chilling compartment. Because nobody likes lukewarm sturgeon roe while on the go, yo.
