Bentley’s new flagship model which brings back the Mulsanne name, and will replace the Arnage, was unveiled at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, on 16 August 2009. The car is expected to go on sale during 2010. Coupe and convertible variants are expected to follow at some point as replacements for the Arnage-based Brooklands and Azure respectively.
Bentley just issued a press release, finally detailing all of the specs on their new Mulsanne sedan…and it’s a big one. They are, actually, as the car will have almost three tons of pure British style. The Bentley Mulsanne’s curb weight is listed at 5,700 pounds, or roughly three Lotus Elises par example.
What will power this massive yet elegant Bentley? Seems like too much of a job for one “man”, so a twin-turbo 6.75-liter V8 will be on duty, delivering 505 horsepower at 4200 rpm and

Everyone keeps reviewing the Bentley Continental deluxe-edition Supersports saying it’s just a fancy Bentley Continental Supersports is a GTC Speed. But the Brits stand apart once more on this chapter: when they launch a “special edition” it really is special.
It’s hard to see a Bentley like a sports car. I mean, come on just look at the size of that thing. Well actually the Continental Supersports isn’t’ one.

The 2010 Bentley Mulsanne was finally rolled out at Pebble Beach last month. But we didn’t get much detail on the oily bits. That was saved for the Mulsanne launch at Frankfurt last week.
It’s now official and widely known that the new Bentley Mulsanne offers a very healthy 505bhp, but more importantly it has the huge lump of torque we expect from a big Bentley – 752lb/ft. All this comes from the pumpin V8 engine that will power the beast. This luxury car offered by Bentley Motors Limited got it’s name from from Bentley’s famous history, which included five victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans — the Mulsanne Straight being the stretch of the Le Mans racing circuit where cars reach their highest speeds.
To go on sale sometime in mid 2010, the Mulsanne will come in Coupe and convertible variants are expected to follow at some point as replacements for

We do not talk about the aspect of this gold Bentley GT, but we respect the effort of Nakamura Tetsuei, the one who has manually painted the details of the automobile. At a price of 520,000 euros, this work of art should be exposed at Louvre, if we judge according to the catalog price.
