They really want to tap into the essence of Black Badge with its own singular concept , a sportier but highly exclusive model like a four dr Coupe. It is the perfect challenge in regards to how Bentley completely ruined the Mulsanne with its ungainly refresh.

It may be brash, boogie, and "un-traditional", but the effects of bold and precise marketing are undeniable. I think trying to take Black Badge and attempting a "singular concept" as you say, would be a complete step in the wrong direction, unless it's applied in a way that completely redefines the Rolls Royce Design Theme for all vehicles, but then they'd all be similar to the Wraith. Mulsanne exists for one reason; to cater to the small number of older Bentley buyers. It's what my father would be driving if he was still alive. It does absolutely nothing for me and everyone I know in the under 65 age range. They're a rare sight, even in South Florida.
If someone wants a good place to start on Rolls, completely rethink the wing mirrors so the driver can actually see forward and to the sides. I have very large hands and even they don't cover the entire area which is directly in the field of view.
