That Presidential Feeling...
evo India|September 2018

There’s no better way of feeling like a head of state than a drive down Rajpath in a Bentley Mulsanne. And guess what? This one’s up for sale.

That Presidential Feeling...
THERE’S A CERTAIN NOSTALGIC charm here. In this day and age of the smart phone with its innumerable news gathering apps, being in the luxurious comfort of this 2011 Bentley Mulsanne’s rear couch makes me want to reach for a copy of the country’s leading pink paper. There’s a curious isolation inside the silence of the cabin that will let you easily focus on the stock prices or the headlines detailing the latest upheavals in the world of biz as the world outside the Mulsanne goes about its noisy ways. And while you’re relaxing in the back seat with your feet lost in a carpet that’s over an inch thick, you can get your back massaged using the massage function buttons in the central arm rest.

This is the kind of luxury that you really want. Not to mention, when you arrive in a Bentley, you don’t need to announce your arrival. Others will do it for you. A Bentley marks you out as someone with a sense of lineage, someone who has a taste for the fineries of life. A man who appreciates fine craftsmanship and respects the sense of historicity and pride that comes with a Bentley ownership. Already getting that priceless kind of feeling, aren’t you? Wait till I tell you that this stately saloon (please don’t call it a sedan) car is up for sale and the asking price is Ì€ 3.75 crore, less than half that of a new Mulsanne.
