INSPIRED BY THE 1930 GRAND TOURING "8 LITRE"

This model is the company's top-tier offering, previously previewed under the name "Grand Bentley." The name Mulsanne is derived from the "Mulsanne Corner" at the Circuit de la Sarthe in France, where Bentley achieved five victories between 1924 and 1930 in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This corner is a 90-degree hairpin turn at the end of a 6km straight, known for hosting many legendary races.

The overall form of the new model is inspired by the "8 Litre," the most powerful grand tourer of its time, produced in only 100 units between 1930 and 1931. Its distinctive round headlamps are縁どられた with modern LED daytime running lights.

OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED AT THE FRANKFURT MOTOR SHOW

Furthermore, Bentley's signature sporty and voluminous fender lines, along with an endlessly luxurious rear view, brilliantly embody Bentley's spirit of "Power & Speed."

Currently, only the "newly developed V8" engine and the use of "abundant high-quality materials" for the interior have been announced. Full details are scheduled to be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

Many fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of this ultimate high-end saloon.

BRAND HISTORY
"To build a car that possesses the best speed and value in its class." These are the words of Walter Owen Bentley, the founder of BENTLEY MOTORS, affectionately known as "W.O."

W.O., who gained experience as an engineer from a young age, initially worked not with cars but with steam locomotives. While participating in motorcycle races during his spare time, his interest turned towards engines, and after retiring, he began developing racing engines in earnest after World War I.

In the 1920s, he participated in races both within and outside the UK. Notably, in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the "Bentley Boys" achieved five victories between 1924 and 1930, establishing the marque's reputation. However, the company's financial situation was precarious, and in 1931, it was acquired by Rolls-Royce, barely managing to preserve its name.

Rolls-Royce's ownership continued for the next 67 years, but a turning point arrived in 1998. Volkswagen acquired the Bentley name and the Crewe factory in England. This allowed Bentley to forge its own path, separate from Rolls-Royce. With the introduction of new models such as the "Continental GT," "Continental Flying Spur," and "Continental GTC," the company made a remarkable comeback in the luxury car market. Furthermore, in 2003, Bentley secured its sixth victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, its first in 73 years.
