  • MotoMan & Mean Gene take a look at the latest Bentley Mulsanne to demonstrate why this is the most special Bentley built today -- and here's a hint, it has NOTHING to do with the brand or the car itself . . .

Sure, MotoMan drives the latest cars to blue chip classics but that's just the beginning: He experiences bucket list car guy adventures like going behind the scenes to build manufacturer show cars to driving military prototype vehicles.

    I’m 32 and have a lot of “Dream cars” 2017 AUDI S8 plus, Alpina B7 2013, 2013 VIPER GTS, 2015 RAPIDE S, Murcielago 2009, BMW 1M, 2011 SLS AMG, CARRERA GT. And as of now, I can’t even afford the S8 yet, but maybe that will be the step to go to this masterpiece called Mulsanne. I need to own one of this to keep it as my company for the rest of my years to live. Thanks for this informative and entertaining video.
    I’ve own 3 different A8l’s and other vehicles but that mulsanne is the one I need to marry lol. My friends think I have a weird taste for vehicles, I just like unique and different stuff.

    One of the first production automobile V8s was introduced in the United States in 1914 by Cadillac, a division of General Motors which sold 13,000 of the 5.4 L (330 cu in) L-head engines in its first year of production.

    look at Mean Gene ! The look in eyes says "I'm In Love hamanananana".
    uh man, The Mulsanne is gorgeous, that Wood is to die for ! Especially the door panels with that light striping!
    I love the Mulsanne's Dashboard, but I love the Arnage's even more ... I Prefer to have the A\C controls & Radio hidden (alongside the cup holders) ... More elegant.
    was that the same engine BMW supplied for Rolls-Royce & Bentley back in the 90s ?
    did you know that the Mulsanne's & Arnage's predecessor (Turbo RL) had the most powerful V8 at it time ?
    AMG? C'mon M, The Mulsanne is whole different level.
    is this a "Regular" Mulsanne ? Or a Mulliner ?
    I think Rolls-Royce made the first V8 (6 cars or something like that), but Cadillac was the first one to mass produce it.
    here's the question M, Phantom or a Mulsanne ?
    as always M, great video, keep the the excellent work.

  • @notarealhandle123
    @notarealhandle123 Před 10 lety +2

    It is not fair to compare torque with Mercedes S63. It is a different category, and you must compare it to Mercedes S65, which has the same torgue as Mulsang and many more horse powers: 621hp, 738pft.

    • @MotoManTV

  • @aaron___6014
    @aaron___6014 Před 5 lety

    Undercoating is not what matters. You see rust where water and debris can accumulate; such as seams, joins between panels, drainage areas. Check out the rear quarters or Hondas, or the rockers of Chevy's and Fords. Plenty of undercoating on the outside.

    Rolls-Royce built a V8 powered car in 1905, but V8's weren't mass produced until Cadillac offered one in late 1914.

    • @MotoManTV
      @MotoManTV  Před 10 lety +1

      You, sir, are CORRECT! Marmon was actually the first to develop a V8 engine but it was never installed in any of their vehicles. Rolls Royce designed, developed and installed a V8 in their 1905 car. If you are in LA, reach out via our Facebook page and we will give you a tour of the Petersen.

    Beautiful cars, if you’re looking to get one , depreciation is your best friend , these cars price drops like a brick over time , I just bought my dream car 2015 Mercedes S550 with 80K miles , like new condition, for $29.000 , that car new was $120.000 … Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Maserati etc. are the same way , you can get $500.000 Rolls Royce Phantom used, for $70.000 , Bentley the same way , they’re all over the place , just be very careful to get a good one , because bad ones in need of repairs , will bankrupt you over night

    It's amazing how many people actually don't know the difference b/w quality and grade. Bentley is a no more quality vehicle than a Toyota Camry because both will get you from point A to B with no problem. The thing that distinguishes cars like Bentley is grade. Bentley is a higher grade, not quality vehicle.

      DMF Any car's underbody will be susceptible to that when driven in four season conditions and put away wet. Like rain and salted roads. One can only imagine where that one has been driven.

    Everything is like a piece of jewelry … wow, what a statement! For me the question is always, is it right to save the extra cost and buy a Bentley instead of a Rolls? You want the ideally rational car, buy the Hyundai Equus. But now let's say you have the money, would you decide for a Bentley and spend about 220.000 USD or spend 130.000 USD more for a RR Ghost?

      ***** Yes, I fully agree. The new luxury will be EV. As a great lover of V8 engines it's easy to accept EV as the successor of V8 (or V12 for that matter). So, you love muscle cars, you love E-power. Simple, actually. Alot of people can't wrap their heads around that statement though.

I never liked English cars and still don't, but the Bentley CGTC is changing my opinion. They don't last much though, I've never seen on with more than 80K miles. Mulsanne would not be my choice.
