Search Chicago have published a review of the 2011 Bentley Mulsanne. 'The exterior design of the Mulsanne was carefully sculpted to combine sportiness with coach-built elegance. With a nod to the Bentleys of the 1950s, the 2011 Mulsanne features a bold, upright frontal design displaying the traditional Bentley mesh grille (metal) and slightly controversial, classic round (huge) inner headlamps, supported with smaller outboard lamp clusters. Controversial because some believe the headlamp design doesn't blend with the rest of the car. I have no problem with it as it takes heritage cues and brings them forward.'

The Independent have published a review of the Bentley Mulsanne. 'Under Volkswagen's ownership, Bentley continued to make the old models with their 6.75-litre V8 engines alongside the new, smaller Continental range, even updating them from time to time. The last time we reported on the Arnage, as the venerable saloon was latterly named, we found it a lovable dinosaur. Knowledge that Rolls-Royce was developing its "smaller" - Arnage-sized, in fact - Ghost model must have concentrated minds, because it meant that for the first time in history, Rolls-Royce and Bentley would be in direct competition.

Auto Express have published thier "fastest first drive ever" of the Bentley Continental Supersports. 'Bentley says the two-seater will accelerate to a top speed of exactly 204mph, while 0-60mph should take only 3.8 seconds. To help it deliver, the Supersports is equipped with uprated brakes and suspension. It also features a new Quickshift automatic gearbox, as well as a revised four-wheel-drive system that sends more of the car's power to the rear wheels. These changes are subtle, but really important, as they promise to improve acceleration and make the car feel more responsive.'

Car And Driver have published their "Short Take Road Test" of the 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports. 'The Supersports name sounds quintes­sentially British, what we expect from the chuffed ironmongers at Bentley. From bonnet to boot it's heavy but down about 170 pounds from the GT Speed. The front seats are deep, stiff, manually adjusted carbon-fiber cocoons lined with leather and diamond-quilted Alcantara. They wear well for a few hours, before back fatigue begins to set in. The rear seats are gone. A glossy carbon-fiber pole stretches across the empty chasm. It could serve as a shoulder-harness mount but is probably there for liability, so gits don't sit where there are no seatbelts.'

The Independent have published a review of the Bentley Continental Supersports. 'What it stands for is this. It is the fastest road-going Bentley ever, and the fastest Bentley full stop apart from the victorious Le Mans racing cars of 2003 (which, arguably, were more Audi than Bentley). This Continental Supersports weighs less than the regular GT Coupé or the slightly quicker Speed version, so now it's two and a quarter tonnes instead of two and a half, and has yet more power from its 6.0-litre, W12, twin-turbo engine. This engine is effectively two narrow-angle V6s next to each other, sharing possibly the most intricately machined crankshaft I have seen.'
