We talk for several months but the deal seems to materialize since it is known that the green light was given by the head of the firm of Crewe. Bentley is going to give birth in the coming months in a luxury limousine "high performance". The case is not about the Flying Spur but the large and prestigious Mulsanne will be available in a version of Speed.
Currently the Mulsanne is powered by the traditional Engine V8 4.3 Liter 6 TwinTurbo 512 hp at 4200 rev / min and 1020 Nm to 1750 trs. Thus the large motorized limousine 2685 kg reaches max speed of 296 km / h and put 5.3 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km / h. With the Mulsanne Speed Version, limousine 5.575 meters long will still powered by the same block but in a revised version announced for at least 550/560 hp and an even more consistent torque. Bentley does not give any indication on well at the moment but not especially denies the information on this future Mulsanne announced by the media beyond 315-320 km / h and a 0 to 100 km / h in around 5.0 seconds of.
The presentation of this more muscular version should be at the next Paris Motor Show in Paris in October before an arrival on the market in the first half of 2015.
