2010 Bentley Motors unveiled the Mulsanne, the company’s all-new flagship grand tourer, at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance in Monterey, California. The Mulsanne is inspired by the company originator W.O. Bentley’s crowning achievement in 1930, the 8-litre. And it was W.O.’s own sensitively conserved company automobile that shared the podium with the new Mulsanne in Pebble Beach. This primeval motoring work represented the terminal bounteous Bentley that was designed, engineered and shapely from the ground up by Bentley engineers - until now.
Nearly 80 years later, while paying respect to this illustrious past, the newborn Mulsanne is a good recent evidence of wealth driving and grand touring. Conceived, styled and engineered entirely at Bentley’s headquarters in Crewe, England, the Mulsanne, with its completely newborn and unique platform, goes into production incoming year in a newborn state-of-the-art manufacturing facility within the Crewe factory. The Bentley organisation team, lead by Dirk van Braeckel, have created a flagship that offers the artist sporting, styling cues long-associated with Bentley - expressed in a good equal way.
The return of the Mulsanne study to a car carrying Bentley’s iconic ‘Winged B’ emblem underlines the company’s racing pedigree and nowhere reflects that acquisition better than the famed Le Mans circuit, the environs of no less than six Bentley triumphs. Few places offer a stronger or more emotive unification with the Bentley marque than the famed Mulsanne corner.
The Bentley 8-litre displayed alongside the Mulsanne in California was first shown at the 1930 author Motor Show.It was the second-built and was W.O. Bentley’s consort car for digit years. Capable of achievement more than 100 mph, the 8-litre demonstrated W.O. Bentley’s desire and ability to build a noble wealth car capable of surpassing every another directive manufacturer of the day. A amount of 100 cars were built in 1930 and 1931.
“The 8-litre’s exciting performance and calibre was perhaps the best warning of a ‘pure’ noble Bentley. Every mechanical discourse carried W.O. Bentley’s unequalled stamp and it was the clearest demonstration of a car built without compromise,” commented Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn, Member of the Board Engineering. “The Mulsanne has been designed with just the aforementioned guiding principles, so it is entirely fitting that these Bentleys from different eras share the aforementioned stage.”
The Bentley Mulsanne module go on understanding from mid 2010. It module also be displayed at the sociable IAA Frankfurt Motor Show (15-27th September, 2009) where Bentley Motors module wage added product information.
