    CAN something 5.6 metres long and weighing close to 2.7 tonnes be described as subtle? The answer is yes, if it has a flying B mascot on the bonnet and is called the Mulsanne. And if there is a discreet little badge on the front wing vent that says "Speed", you can be sure that it will be extra swift.

    The Bentley Mulsanne Speed is the latest variant of the ultra-luxury saloon which was first introduced five years ago. The Mulsanne may be as big as a terrace house but its styling is exquisite, with superformed front fenders, muscular rear haunches and a handcrafted interior.

    On the Speed, the sculpted curves are unchanged but there are some mild tweaks in the form of dark tint for the headlamps and tail lights, as well as the front and lower bumper grilles.
