Move over, Arnage. The new kid is in town. Today, Bentley unveiled the latest and greatest from the luxury icon: the 2010 Bentley Mulsanne. And, its looks were not exactly a secret as spy shots got a dead-on look at this auto before it's debut.
According to Bentley, the Mulsanne is designed to replace the aging, decade-old Arnage. Bearing an entirely new platform, that will be produced starting next year, the new Bentley will be constructed within the Crewe, England factory.
Although details remain vague on the latest B-car, if history serves as a guiding principle, the flagship will likely use a large displacement V8 capable of 425 - 550 horsepower and an unwieldy amount of torque.
Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen, Chairman and Chief Executive of Bentley Motors, spoke about the all-new Mulsanne, saying:
“The challenge we set our engineers was to create a new grand Bentley that would stand as the pinnacle of British luxury motoring, offering the world’s most exclusive driving experience. They have responded to this challenge with real passion and the result is a luxury grand tourer that sets new standards in terms of comfort, effortless performance and hand-crafted refinement – the very qualities for which Bentley is renowned.“
Look for the 2010 Mulsanne to go on sale in mid-2010. More information about this new model will be coming forward this September at the IAA in Frankfurt Motor Show.
