Bentley announces new Mulsanne Speed - world's fastest ultra-luxury driving experience

Bentley redefines the fastest ultra-luxury driving experience in the world with a new pinnacle flagship. The new Mulsanne Speed is tailored for the driver, with 537 ps (530 bhp/395 kW), 1,100 Nm (811 lb ft) and selectable sports suspension and steering on demand.

The re-engineered
powertrain, featuring Bentley's mighty 6 ¾-litre twin-turbo V8, propels the Mulsanne Speed to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds) and on to a top speed of 190 mph (305 km/h). In modern Bentley tradition, the extra performance is matched by markedly improved efficiency; a 13 per cent gain means a range extended by 50 miles (80 km).

New and contemporary styling features define the Mulsanne Speed as a statement in quintessential British luxury. On-board technology and connectivity are discreetly integrated beneath the finest materials, created with unrivalled craftsmanship and exquisite handcrafted details.

"The new Mulsanne Speed is the car that defines Bentley, as a flagship for driving luxury performance. Our customers don't compromise, and we've adopted the same approach in the design, engineering and crafting of our new flagship. The Mulsanne Speed is distinguished, calm and relaxing, but always with a connection to the road and relentless dynamic performance on demand. In this car, every journey becomes a drive," said Wolfgang Durheimer, Chairman & Chief Executive, Bentley Motors.

The Mulsanne Speed will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show on October 2, 2014, and will be available for customer delivery this winter.
