Bentley Mulsanne 2011 Print E-mail

Image

With the all-new 2011 Bentley Mulsanne, there's reason to believe that Bentley has a little grudge against its former sibling Rolls-Royce.

The new Mulsanne had its world debut at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concurs, and Bentley makes no veiled references to challenging Rolls-Royce' s Phantom with the new sedan. They’re saying it outright, calling the Mulsanne the "pinnacle" of luxury cars.

With the Mulsanne, Bentley's designed its first all-new car since the 1930s. (The Continental range shares some minor pieces with other Volkswagen Group products.) Most technical details are being withheld for a 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show appearance, but Bentley does say the new 6.75-liter V-8 in the Mulsanne is a complete redesign of the existing engine.

The design's a blend of a traditional silhouette with some modern detailing, less so than the smaller Continental range. Some similarities exist in the treatment of the front fenders, but the Mulsanne's grille and D-pillar are more tailored to the Phantom and Maybach crowd.

Named for the 90-degree turn at Le Mans, the Mulsanne arrives in mid-2010 with a pricetag likely approaching $300,000, before any custom finishes or materials are specified. Bentley promises the new sedan's wood, leather and brightware will be among the industries finest.
