(Crewe, 26 February 2016) Bentley unveils its new #mulsanne model range, which reaches even greater heights of luxury and performance and sets a new benchmark for rear-seat passenger comfort, at the Geneva Motor Show 2016.

Handcrafted in Crewe, the new range comprises the #mulsanne, the performance-focused #mulsanne Speed and the all-new, ultra-luxurious #mulsanne Extended Wheelbase with its new extended wheelbase variant offering airline-style seats.

Incorporating elegantly executed styling revisions to give Bentley’s flagship a fresh, modern appearance, the range also benefits from new state-of-the-art chassis technologies to ensure the world’s most refined ride and effortless comfort, while advanced on-board features augment the trademark luxury of the #mulsanne – the ultimate statement of Bentley’s automotive artistry.

Wolfgang Dürheimer, chairman and chief executive of #bentley Motors, said: “The #mulsanne is the epitome of Bentley’s DNA – exquisite, individual and powerful. It defines luxury in the automotive world and offers a unique #bentley blend of luxury and performance.

“The three distinct handcrafted models are now available. The #mulsanne, with its understated elegance and sporting purpose, remains the consummate luxury limousine; the #mulsanne Speed is the pinnacle of luxury and performance thanks to its immense power, torque and refinement; and now the #mulsanne Extended Wheelbase, with its extraordinary airline-style seats and rear-passenger bias, becomes the new benchmark in automotive comfort.”

Flying Spur V8 S – The Sporting Side of Luxury

Bentley also unveils an important new addition to its Flying Spur range, the #flyingspurv8s. Sitting between the current Flying Spur V8 and the family flagship W12 model, the performance-focused V8 S develops 528 PS and 680 Nm.

Complementing this impressive performance, a new responsive suspension tuning for the #flyingspurv8s improves handling and body control, while the aluminium double-wishbone front and trapezoidal multi-link rear self-levelling air suspension with continuous damping control ensure that the Flying Spur’s legendary refinement is maintained.

The exterior of the #flyingspurv8s features dark and sporting revisions. Bentley’s iconic matrix grille is black as standard with an exclusive body-coloured insert which, along with optional dark-tint front lamps and a Beluga gloss rear diffuser, gives the #flyingspurv8s a dramatic on-road presence.

Inside the cabin, styling is precisely matched to the sportier exterior aesthetic and includes piano-black interior and three-spoke sports steering wheel as standard.

Tuned for power, Bentley’s renowned 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 S engine develops an additional 21 PS, developing 528 PS (521 bhp / 388 kW) compared to its V8 sibling’s 507 PS (500 bhp / 373 kW). A mighty 680 Nm (502 lb.ft) is on offer from 1,700 rpm. This powers the #flyingspurv8s to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, 0.3 seconds faster than the V8’s already impressive sprint time.

The V8 S has a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h) with power delivered to the road via all-wheel drive with a 40:60 rear-biased torque split for sure-footed, engaging driving in all road and weather conditions.

Bentayga – The World’s First Luxury SUV

Also on Bentley’s stand at Geneva is the #bentayga – the fastest, most powerful, most luxurious and most exclusive #suv in the world. Combining unparalleled luxury with sporting ability, off-road performance and everyday usability, the #bentayga offers a true #bentley driving experience.

Following its high-profile world debut at the Frankfurt motor show last September, customer reaction has been extraordinarily strong to the world’s first luxury #suv. The first customer deliveries will start at the end of March.
