Bentley Mulsanne Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1980–1993) — First Generation
The first-generation Bentley Mulsanne is a luxury sedan with an emphasis on relaxed travel. If you’re considering one, the powertrain’s smoothness matters as much as its performance.
The Bentley Mulsanne engine follows a traditional luxury-car formula: gasoline V8 power, an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. This combination suits unhurried cruising, with pulling power that makes acceleration feel easy. When assessing a used example, check for smooth gear changes and consistent engine response both cold and fully warmed up.
