Furthermore, a new sunroof option has been introduced, as well as bespoke bottle cooler technology across the entire Mulsanne range.Alasdair Stewart, Bentley's member of the board for sales and marketing, commented: "The Mulsanne represents the pinnacle of British motoring with unrivalled luxury and effortless performance."Now, the distinctly sporting accent of the new Mulliner Driving Specification provides an even greater degree of driving enjoyment without compromising the Mulsanne's legendary comfort and refinement."Last month, Bentley picked up accolades for its Mulsanne and Continental GTC models at the Hurun Report's Best of the Best 2012 awards, taking home the coveted Limited Edition Super Luxury Car title.In addition, the luxury car manufacturer also bagged a number of other titles and trophies in January, including a Luxury Oscar Award from the World Luxury Association and a cementing of the company's place in its Top 100 Most Valuable Luxury Brands rankings.Speak to the performance, prestige and sports car insurance team at Performance Direct for an expert, professional service and a choice of cover from the UK's leading specialist insurance underwriters.Posted by Mark Thompson"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Sports Performance Prestige Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/sports-performance-prestige-cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"New Mulsanne specifications announced by Bentley","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/sports-performance-prestige-cars\/new-mulsanne-specifications-announced-by-bentley\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
