Bentley Mulsanne Performance Overview

Bentley’s Mulsanne performance record in this dataset spans 2011 to 2016, covering 4 verified tests of the second-generation car. Across those runs, the large luxury sedan stayed tightly grouped around a 4.9-second average to 60 mph, using the twin-turbocharged L410 V8 in gasoline form with outputs ranging from 505 to 530 hp. Early testing established the baseline quickly: the 2011 Sedan reached 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, and the 2012 Sedan backed that up with a 13.4-second quarter mile at 105 mph, still the model’s quickest quarter-mile figure in this sample.

Through the middle of the run, the formula changed little, with the standard sedan continuing to deliver near-identical straight-line results. The 2012 Sedan posted 5.0 seconds to 60 mph, while the 2015 Speed Sedan also recorded 5.0 seconds, showing that the Mulsanne’s performance character remained centered on steady V8 torque rather than large swings between trims.

By the end of this period, the Speed version set the line’s best acceleration mark. The 2016 Speed Sedan lowered the benchmark to 4.8 seconds to 60 mph, which also stands as the current-generation best here. In period, the Mulsanne remained a gasoline-only, twin-turbo V8 sedan with a narrow but consistently quick performance envelope.
