Bentley Mulsane versus... Hyundai Equus? - Click above to watch video after the jump
With the launch of the all-new
Equus,
Hyundai has taken another step towards the deep end of the
luxury car segment. However,
Bentley has a
touch more experience in this arena and its new
Mulsanne is decadence on wheels. The two companies sit on opposite ends of the automotive spectrum, but
Motor Trend seems to think they warrant a comparison. We suspect Bentley will not be pleased...
Two of MT's scribes hop into the back of both the Equus and the Mulsanne for a chat about the two luxury sedans, and one of them is none other than Autoblog alum Jonny Lieberman, decked out in his fancy new buff-book duds (the other is MT stalwart Ed Loh). Both vehicles pack a fair amount of amenities, but the difference between $70,000 and $330,000 (with $42k in options) is patently obvious. Just check out the cupholders. So, grab some pâté and a jar of Grey Poupon and check out the video
after the jump.

The
Bentley Mulsanne is one of the costliest Bentleys you can buy, a fast, refined car offering heritage and breeding in spades. Ordinary people are not supposed to be able to relate. We are ordinary. Is this worth $285,000?

2011 Bentley Mulsanne - click above for high-res image gallery
Contrary to what you might expect, successfully keeping tradition alive in the automotive world isn't just about periodically mining one's stylistic back catalog or simply refusing to change altogether. To convincingly abide by the spirit of one's history without running the risk of extinction, or worse - self-parody - requires stealthy innovation, and to do so is a decidedly tricky undertaking.
Just ask
Bentley. The British automaker has a long history of artfully highlighting its considerable heritage, from the exploits of the
fabulous Bentley Boys to the timeless craftsmanship employed in its interiors. And despite the upright look of its new flagship, the
2011 Mulsanne, much thought and effort has been exerted into making what is actually a very modern proposition seem... traditional. Accomplishing this in an authentic and timeless manner is particularly important for an automaker like Bentley. Given the rather lengthy model lifecycles that small-volume manufacturers are often forced to adopt, it's crucial to nail the entire package the first time. Follow the jump to see if they've managed the feat.

We've now seen the
Bentley Mulsanne at several different auto shows since it made its debut at the Pebble Beach Concours last August, but we've never seen it motion.
Bentley has now addressed that oversight with some running footage shot on location in Scotland.
Other than seeing it rolling in its natural habitat the video doesn't tell us anything new about the Mulsanne, but we're pretty confident its manners will be in keeping with its
stately looks and craftsmanship.
Check out the video after the jump.

When the
Bentley Mulsanne debuted we were taken aback by its shocking visage. After seeing it in the flesh the car's actually quite handsome. Here it's handsomely driven by a handsomely dressed and handsomely paid actor through handsome Scotland.

Bentley Azure T - Click above for high-res image gallery
The current
Bentley Azure may have only been in production for four years, but the platform that underpins it goes back to 1998. Developed back when both
Bentley and
Rolls-Royce were under Vickers ownership, it's the same platform that formed the basis for the
Arnage saloon and
Brooklands coupe. But with the introduction of the
Mulsanne - as we
reported back in September - the old platform is set to be retired altogether.
Now that Bentley is concentrating its efforts on the Mulsanne, the Azure is reportedly the next to be discontinued. But if you're super-wealthy and looking for a way to shuttle yourself and your company around the Riviera in open-air opulence, fret not, because a replacement is on the way.
According to new reports, however, the next-generation Azure (or whatever name Crewe selects for the model) may gain a couple of doors. If so, it would - not withstanding the likes of the
Maybach Landaulet or
Jeep Wrangler - bring back the long-dormant body-style of a four-door convertible, thus separating itself from the
Rolls-Royce Phantom DropHead Coupe with which it will be competing.
