the Bentley Mulsanne was equipped with a 6.75L Rolls-Royce V8 engine

Bentley is one of the most famous names in the automotive industry. The name is essentially synonymous to the best in British car engineering, with its high level of sophistication, technology, manufacturing, and luxury, seen in all of its cars. Today, it is the brand of choice for many celebrities, businessmen, and affluent people, opting for famous models like the Continental T and the Azure that have placed very good numbers of Bentley sales. These 2 models, however, owe their lineage to a car named the Bentley Mulsanne, an iconic model that paved the way for many of Bentley's famous modern models today.

The Mulsanne, named after the "Mulsanne Straight" of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was created with the intent of epitomizing the essence of what it is to be a Bentley car: high performance, topnotch luxury, advanced engineering. This was achieved by using some of the most expensive materials, machinery, and technology of its day, a truly top-of-the-line vehicle produced between 1980 and 1992.

Originally, the Mulsanne was equipped with a 6.75L Rolls-Royce V8 engine which had cylinder heads made out of aluminum alloy, with a 3-speed automatic transmission system. A Bosch fuel injection system replaced the original SU carburettors on cars made after 1986, and continued on until the end of production.

However, the original Mulsanne model was not the only one made. In 1982, the Geneva Motor Show saw the unveiling of the Mulsanne Turbo, a version of the Mulsanne whose main feature is a Garrett AiResearch turbocharger that gave a 50% increase in engine power. On top of this, the Mulsanne Turbo also featured an upgraded interior, using polished walnut veneered fascia, luxury carpets, pure wool headlining, and the best leather available.

A full-size luxury, it is roomy and definitely embodies the precision of handcrafted artistry. In the eyes of its originators, it holds the passion of the artisan, devoting one of the ever-sought-for resources in the world if only to achieve the perfected built of the concept drawn in their minds: TIME. Despite of its volume, it carries a refined look, making it a comfortable luxury passenger carrier.

There is little that we know as of this time about the many other details which are of interest to most buyers. But with six victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans throughout their years of racing, it will be the iconic 6.75 L V8 for this all-new Mulsanne designed entirely by Bentley. The car is equipped with a light but potent V8 engine. The 2010 Bentley Mulsanne integrates modern technologies into its system for reduced vibration and noise, which should clear the AC Condenser and the rest of the components of the air conditioning system from being supposed the culprit of the noise when the AC is turned on and running. If for one thing, this distinctly serene exhaust sound buys the V8 engine its popularity for high performance autos and racecars. This also makes it is perfect for the speedy luxury tourist car which in Bentley language is "made by individuals for individuals" with great attention to the details of its quality.

The bargain Bentley, or at least that's what the Bentley GT used to be called. When it debuted on the market in 2003 it had a retail sticker of $156,000. These days $156,000 might get you a used, 3 year old Bentley GT. Isn't that a shame? But let's put price aside a have a look at this luxury behemoth.
