The Bentley Mulsanne doesn't look like a retro car, but it is. Unlike, say, the New Mini, the New Beetle, or even the New Mustang, the new Mulsanne is not a skin-deep styling homage to an iconic ancestor. Even though it drips with 21st-century technology - composite body parts, an eight-speed automatic transmission, computer-controlled air suspension, a 60-gig hard drive that drives the sat nav, audio/video, data, telephone and Bluetooth connectivity - the new Mulsanne, which replaces the flagship Arnage sedan, is old-school to its very soul.

It is the Bentley that was never meant to be, done the way Bentleys were always meant to be.

"I have been in this industry for 30 years and I have done a lot of cars," said Bentley Chairman Franz-Josef Paefgen at the global reveal of the Mulsanne at Pebble Beach last August. "And this is all I can do." For Paefgen and his senior management team, including engineering chief Ulrich Eichhorn and designer Dirk van Braeckel, the new Mulsanne represents nothing less than the sum total of their considerable automotive knowledge, experience, and car-guy passion. "This is the first big Bentley since 1930 [before the company was acquired by Rolls-Royce in 1931] designed, engineered, and built as a big Bentley," says Paefgen proudly.
