Established in 1898, the Paris Motor Show is now a leading global automotive exhibition, held every two years. Throughout its more than 100-year history, despite occasional suspensions due to World Wars 1 and 2, the Paris Motor Show remains a must-attend event for top global car brands. This year, the world's leading automotive giants gathered to showcase impressive models. Among them, the following models have received high praise from automotive magazines and forums.

Bentley Mulsanne Speed

According to Bloomberg, this is currently the world's fastest ultra-luxury sedan. The Mulsanne Speed, an upgraded version of the Mulsanne model introduced in 2010, boasts a 6.75L V8 engine producing up to 530 horsepower, allowing it to reach a top speed of 305 km/h. This is a speed that many other specialized sports cars would envy.

Beyond its incredible speed, the Bentley Mulsanne Speed ​​is also a high-end luxury vehicle with an interior featuring premium leather, wood, and alloy materials, along with the most advanced amenities in the automotive industry. Naturally, its price tag is also hefty, exceeding $400,000 in the US market.

BMW 2 Series Cabriolet

BMW is determined to boost its competitiveness in the convertible sports car market against rivals Mercedes and Audi by launching the Series 2 convertible. This model features a two-door, 2+2 seating configuration, with the two rear seats being somewhat cramped. While BMW has recently shifted its convertible lineup towards hardtops, the Series 2 convertible uses a soft top. Of course, it still manages to impress with its 184-horsepower engine and a top speed of 231 km/h.

Rolls Royce Phantom Metropolitan

If the Bentley Mulsanne Speed ​​is the fastest luxury sedan, then the Rolls-Royce Phantom Metropolitan is considered the most "exclusive" sedan at this year's Paris Motor Show. Its price tag reaches $570,000 in the US market.

It's safe to say this is a true masterpiece from Rolls-Royce, with an interior considered "top-of-the-line." The leather upholstery alone is meticulously crafted with 6,800 stitches.

Notably, the 458 Speciale A boasts an ultra-lightweight hardtop that takes only 14 seconds to open and close. According to the BBC, the basic version of the 458 Speciale A costs nearly $370,000 in the US market.
