The Bentley Mulsanne is a performance luxury car which was produced from 1980 until 1992. The name "Mulsanne" is derived from Bentley's famous history, which included five victories at Le Mans between 1924 and 1930 — the 'Mulsanne Straight' being the stretch of the Le Mans racecourse where cars reach their highest speeds (old circuit).
Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1982 and produced until 1985 was the Mulsanne Turbo. There was a 50% increase in power thanks to the Garrett turbocharger. There was the usual highly polished walnut veneered fascia, blemish-free leather and carpets and headlining of pure wool for the interior. 498 short wheelbase and 18 long wheelbase Mulsanne Turbos were built.
The Mulsanne Turbo was replaced by the Turbo R, which used a fuel-injected version of the same engine. A British racing green Turbo has been used in the two James Bond stories Nobody Lives Forever and Role of Honour.
