2016 Bentley Mulsanne Speed: We Go Camping with a $400000 Mega-Sedan - Car and Driver (blog)
Lest you leap to the conclusion that we’ve gone soft, joining up with some sort of New Gilded Age glamping caravan, understand that taking the 2016 Bentley Mulsanne Speed camping was in no way premeditated. It was actually the flat, lacquer look of the green paint (a $5715 option that Bentley calls British Racing Green, although it isn’t) that convinced us this would be a good idea. Pack It Up, Pack It In Ours would still be a classic Michigan camping trip, with sleeping bags and inflatable air mattresses and tents and hot dogs and s’mores and a cooler full of beer. We probably should have stuck with something more like a Chevy Suburban, which would have had a top speed a bit lower than the claimed 190 mph of the Speed but also would’ve been easier to pack. The first thing you notice when you lay eyes upon the Mulsanne’s shallow, nicely carpeted trunk—and try to do that spatial-estimation thing with the huge pile of stuff that you plan on bringing along—is that said trunk is ridiculously small, at... The EPA lists the Bentley’s cargo volume at 11 cubic feet. By comparison, an Audi A8 has 15 and a Cadillac XTS boasts an 18-cubic-foot cargo hold. Source: www.caranddriver.com
