With a new “massive” design, the Muslanne, is Bentley new flagship. Named after one of “le Mans” famous corner at the “Le Mans” circuit, like the Bentley tradition dictate, our new luxury sedan will feature a new and revised version of the Arnage’s L Series, a 6.5 Twin Turbo V8 which produces 500bhp and a torque of 1000Nm (which must be really needed for such heavy lady), but with according to Bentley a 20% reduction in fuel consumption thanks to our newly revised engine.Today, Bentley Motors unveiled the Mulsanne, the company's all-new flagship grand tourer, at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance in Monterey, California.
The Mulsanne is inspired by the company founder W.O. Bentley's crowning achievement in 1930, the 8-litre. And it was W.O.'s own sensitively conserved company car that shared the podium with the new Mulsanne in Pebble Beach. This early motoring masterpiece represented the last big Bentley that was designed, engineered and built from the ground up by Bentley engineers - until now.
Nearly 80 years later, while paying respect to this illustrious past, the new Mulsanne is a thoroughly modern statement of luxury driving and grand touring. Conceived, styled and engineered entirely at Bentley's headquarters in Crewe, England, the Mulsanne, with its completely new and unique platform, goes into production next year in a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility within the Crewe factory.
Introducing the Bentley Mulsanne at Pebble Beach, where Bentley was the featured marque, Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen, Chairman and Chief Executive of Bentley Motors, said:
