The new Bentley Mulsanne is a high-end luxury car produced by Bentley Motors Limited in the United Kingdom.[4] The name is derived from Bentley's historical racing pedigree, which included five victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans — the Mulsanne Straight being the stretch of the Le Mans racing circuit where cars reach their highest speeds.
Bentley's new flagship model brings back the Mulsanne nameplate last used in 1992, and replaces the Bentley Arnage. The Mulsanne was unveiled at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, on 16 August 2009. Coupe and convertible variants are expected to follow at some point as replacements for the Arnage-based Brooklands and Azure respectively.[5]
Like the Arnage, the Mulsanne retains the iconic 6.75 L (6750 cc/411 in³) OHV V8 engine, albeit heavily modified to meet Euro V emissions regulations. To achieve improved fuel consumption, the re-designed engine is lighter and features cylinder de-activation and variable cam phasing.[6] Unlike the less expensive Bentley Continental Flying Spur and Bentley Continental GT, the Mulsanne shares very few components with other marques in the Volkswagen Group.[7]
The Mulsanne is also notable as it is the first flagship car to be independently designed by Bentley Motors in nearly 80 years; the last being W.O. Bentley's iconic 8 litre model in 1930.[8] Afterward, most Bentleys had shared platforms with Rolls-Royce cars.[7]
The Mulsanne aims to recreate as much of Bentley's heritage as possible. For instance, the stainless steel knobs on the dashboard that control the vent plungers are electronic micro switches that send signals to the digital servos that handle the job. However, Bentley engineers painstakingly replicated the feedback of a precisely polished steel rod sliding over smooth felt to pull a soft leather damper closed.[9] Other touches of Bentley history include the very large wheels with small sidewalled tyres, which give an echo of the ride comfort qualities of 1920's Bentleys.
In the United Kingdom, the 2011 Mulsanne costs from £225,900 and in the US from $285,000. The first vehicle produced, chassis number one, was sold in August 2009 at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance auction for $550,000.[10]
Each car takes twelve weeks to produce,[11] and customers will have a choice of 114 paint colours, 21 carpet colours, nine wood veneers and 24 interior leather hides, and be able to specify a custom colour scheme. Additionally, the car has more advanced technology compared with the Arnage, and can be specified to feature a Naim 2200w audio system complete with MP3 compatibility, with Bluetooth and an advanced MMI capability.
At the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, the Executive Interior Concept (EIC) contains many technologies commonly found in offices to assist executives while on the road. The rear passenger area features three LCD screens powered by an Apple Mac mini located in the trunk, with additional iPads in fold out trays connected through Bluetooth keyboards. Additional features include in-car wifi, iPods with docking stations, and integration of the many devices to the car's Naim audio system.

Onboard Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed fastest limousine / world racing
It is said that this is the world's fastest limousine.
Der Continental Flying Spur (oder auch Flying Spur) ist eine repräsentative Limousine, die von der Volkswagen AG-Tochter Bentley angeboten wird. Der Name „Flying Spur" leitet sich vom Familienwappen des Kutschen- und Karosserie-Bauers Mulliner ab, der schon die ersten Rolls-Royce- und Bentley-Modelle karossierte und 1959 aufgekauft wurde. Das Wappen zeigt unter anderem einen geflügelten Sporn.
Der Continental Flying Spur ist die zweite Bentley-Baureihe, die unter Volkswagen-Regie entwickelt und im Jahr 2006 teilweise in der Gläsernen Manufaktur in Dresden gebaut wurde. So ist die gesamte Continental-Serie (Flying Spur, GT (Coupé) und GTC (Cabrio)) lose mit dem VW Phaeton und dem Audi A8 verwandt, hat aber eine noch höherwertige Innenausstattung und exklusive einen 6.0 Liter Bi-turbo W12. Alle Modelle verfügen serienmäßig über einen permanenten Allradantrieb sowie über die aktive Luftfederung. (Wikipedia)
The Bentley Continental Flying Spur is a four-door variant of the Bentley Continental GT coupé. The Bentley Continental Flying Spur was introduced in 2005.
The Continental Flying Spur is equipped with a 5,998 cubic centimetres (366.0 cu in) (6.0 litre) twin-turbocharged W12 engine. It produces a DIN-rated motive power output of 560 metric horsepower (412 kW; 552 bhp) at 6,100 rpm, and torque of 650 newton metres (479 ft·lbf) at 1,600-6,100 rpm. Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive is standard. It will complete the standard sprint of 0--100 kilometres per hour (0--62.1 mph) in 5.2 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 312 kilometres per hour (194 mph).[1]
Some of the Bentley's technical and powertrain components are related to those on the Volkswagen Phaeton, Audi A8 and S8. The car was designed by the same team who produced the Continental GT and Continental GTC.
The Continental Flying Spur is exclusively hand built at Bentley's only manufacturing plant in Crewe, England. Previously, due to a lack of capacity at the Crewe factory upon the car's introduction, some Flying Spurs destined for markets other than the USA and UK were built at Volkswagen's Transparent Factory in Dresden, Germany. This arrangement ended in 2006, when all assembly work reverted to Crewe.

Bentley Showcases Unrivalled Product Range at the Paris Salon
Today at the Paris International Auto Salon, Bentley is unveiling its Continental GT3 race car concept, signalling the Company's intention to return to motorsport towards the end of 2013. Bentley is also showcasing its full product range at this year's Salon. From the hand-crafted, high-luxury Mulsanne saloon through to the 205 mph (330 km/h) Continental GT Speed performance flagship, the models presented on the show stand clearly reflect the unrivalled breadth of this world-famous brand.
Commenting on Bentley's stand at the Paris Salon, Dr.Wolfgang Schreiber, Chairman and Chief Executive, said: "The Paris Salon is a particularly important date in Bentley's automotive calendar. Exactly ten years ago, the unveiling of the Continental GT concept was a defining moment in Bentley's history, marking the beginning of the company's product-led renaissance. Ten years on, the breadth of our model range on display and our announcement to return to the racetrack clearly reflects the progress Bentley has made during that time and the strength of the brand today."
