Bentley Mulsanne vs Rolls Royce Ghost - Design

Hey everyone!

I watched National Geographic's Megafactories on the Mulsanne a couple of days ago and I must say that I suddenly grew a liking to the design.

The smooth curves and the grill of the Mulsanne really made an impression on me. I came to multiple auto reviewers as they put these cars to the test, but all these tests touched lightly on the looks of both cars. And I find this stupid because I fail to see why, surely the looks of a car are more important than the power in a Luxury machine.

So I ask you, which of these do you prefer? The mean and impressive looking Rolls Royce Ghost or the smooth and sleek Mulsanne?

Remember, this only a design debate. Post pictures to prove your point. I will add some pictures to the topic when I'm on my computer, not my iPad.

I personally prefer the mulsanne, with the exception of the steering wheel and the wood, which I despise, preferring the Rolls on this aspect.

Agree with tips, the Mulsanne is more of a Phantom competitor. The looks of the Ghost are undoubtably amazing, more modern than those of the Phantom, but I pick the Mulsanne.

Mulsanne by far. Ghost does.t even hold a candle.




Do like the ghost over the spur tho.

The Mulsanne should be compared to the phantom rather than the ghost, but I like the looks of the baby roller much more.

I prefer the Ghost, it looks sportier than the Bentley!

Mulsanne.

I sat in a ghost and was not impressed. It seemed too stripped down for a proper RR.
