Bentley says the Mulsanne has been designed and engineered without any compromise. So the price tag of $348,424 might not seem that much for customers who want the full Bentley experience.
“Even at this very early stage, the expression of interest we’ve received easily exceeds our 2010 production targets. Mulsanne’s credentials are a pure expression of Bentley design and craftsmanship, and that’s struck a chord with Bentley enthusiasts across the globe as well as many of the potential customers we have welcomed for tours in Crewe this year. We’ve been encouraged by the positive commentary, notably from our American customers as the Mulsanne was privately previewed in seven metro markets across the country,” said Stuart McCullough, Member of the Board for Sales & Marketing for Bentley Motors.
Bentley’s new model will be built at Crewe, England, in the second quarter of 2010. The English company decided to build a new body production facility dedicated to the Mulsanne. The car will arrive in the UK next summer and will offer 114 paint colors, 21 carpet colors, nine wood veneers and 24 interior leather hides, all of which will be tanned using a decades-old process to ensure this future classic never loses its scent.
Each Mulsanne will take nine weeks to build. Bentley says that this car will fulfill the vision of founder W.O. Bentley of building “a good car, a fast car, the best in its class.”
