New Bentley Muslanne launched in Bahrain

Manama, December 23, 2010

Bentley Motors has unveiled its latest offering, the Mulsanne, in Bahrain. The luxury car comes with a starting price of BD1,450,000.

It was previewed by Bahrain's media representatives at dealers Ahmed Zayani and Sons' showroom in Zinj.

Bentley Motors' VIP customer sales manager Trevor Gay, who flew in for the event from Crewe, England, said the over six-litre, 90-degree V8 engine comes across as a 505bhp engineering marvel that generates 1020Nm of torque.

'All the major building blocks of the engine are new and have been designed to optimise performance,' he said.

Gay said this had contributed towards meeting key objectives, which include maximising torque, refinement and efficiency.

'Nowhere is this better demonstrated than in the introduction of two new electro-mechanical control systems - cam phasing and variable displacement,' he said.

'The pioneering use of these two technologies allows the Mulsanne's engine management system to not only actively adjust the V8's breathing, but also to effectively throttle back four of the cylinders entirely, independent of the others, when not required.'-TradeArabia News Service
