谍照记者最近拍到了宾利慕尚改款车及全新长轴距版车型照片。对于慕尚系列而言，2016年将是一个不平凡的年份，除了改款轿车之外，还有敞篷车和长轴距版轿车都将陆续推出。慕尚标准版的车身长度达到5575毫米，而长轴距版比标准版增加了200毫米，它的后车门后轴距都进一步拉长。谈到轴距，慕尚标准版的轴距达到3266毫米，预计长轴距版增加的那部分轴距都给了后排乘客，因此后排活动空间，尤其是腿部空间将更充裕。由于车身更大，因此车重也将增至2685公斤。在外观设计上，2016款车型的前格栅略宽，前后保险杠进行了改款，外侧前大灯位置比老款车更高，与内侧大灯齐平。前大灯采用LED光源。预计内装也将进行改款，不过很可能了无新意。至于动力系统，仍将是那台6.75升V8双涡轮增压引擎，但功率和扭矩提升，特别是长轴距版，将从目前的377千瓦/512马力和1020牛米提升至395千瓦/537马力和1100牛米，这对于更重的长轴距版似乎更合适一些。慕尚改款车和长轴距版预计将在明年的日内瓦车展发布，而敞篷版则要等到年底才会亮相。

 

Bentley Mulsanne facelift spied together with long wheelbase version

Our spies have sent us a comprehensive batch of images with the Bentley Mulsanne facelift and the brand new long wheelbase version.

 

2016 is going to be a big year for the Mulsanne lineup as aside from the facelifted sedan Bentley has plans to launch a convertible along with a long wheelbase sedan spotted once again while undergoing testing. The SWB model is 5575 mm long and this LWB model appears to be at least 200 mm longer judging by that very long rear doors and the massive wheelbase.

 

Speaking of the wheelbase, in the Mulsanne SWB it is 3266 mm long and we expect most of the added length of the LWB to be implemented in the wheelbase to provide even more room for the rear passengers. The larger footprint will have an impact on weight which is set to grow considerably from the current 2,685 kg (5,919 lbs).

 

In terms of design, the 2016 Mulsanne will come with a slightly wider grille and modified front and rear bumpers while the outer headlights appear to sit higher than they do on the outgoing model and now they are in line with the inner lights. The lighting clusters will likely employ full LED technology and we expect some interior cabin changes as well, but nothing to write home about.

 

The 6.75-liter V8 twin-turbo engine will likely be carried over, but could receive a power bump - especially in the LWB model - from the current 512 PS (377 kW) and 1,020 Nm (752 lb-ft). A higher state of tune for this engine is already available in the Mulsanne Speed where it churns 537 PS (395 kW) and 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) which would make it suitable for the long wheelbase model given the higher weight.

 

An official reveal of the facelifted Mulsanne and the new Mulsanne LWB is expected to occur in March at the Geneva Motor Show, with the Mulsanne Grand Convertible arriving before the year's end.
