What you do miss out on when snoozing in the back is the stunning mixture and blending of wood veneers, leathers, stainless steel and the unique and special glass switchgear. The black buttons you see in the gallery are not plastic, they are clear glass and are sprung so perfectly and so smooth to the touch that they make a baby's butt seem rough. Everything onboard does feel as good as it looks.

The standard equipment list is laughably long. The expression “all the bells and whistles” finds new meaning in the Mulsanne. Essentially, the only item you can't get is the kitchen sink. For fun, when you order yours, ask the people in Crewe, England about getting one. I'm sure that, for the right price, they'll figure out how to make one fit. For more fun, take a glance at the options list and colour palette. The right word is: Insane.

From the rear, the 2012 Bentley Mulsanne is most similar to the Continental GT and Flying Spur. The taillights are what give it away. (Photo: Sébastien D'Amour/Auto123.com)

On the subject of pricing, the Mulsanne ain't cheap and you know how it goes: “If you have to ask...” But since you haven't, I'll tell you. Base price for the 2012 Mulsanne is $360,000, without options. That's correct: Your current mortgaged house value in just about any respectable suburban town.

W.O. would be proud.

Thanks are in order to Decarie Motors, the kind purveyor of these dream cars.
