Bentley Mulsanne Pricing Announced

The Bentley Mulsanne was unveiled a few months ago for the first time at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. At its introduction, Bentley made clear that the Mulsanne was aiming at a segment higher than the Arnage.

They even made sure in the press release to never refer to to the Mulsanne as a "replacement" for the Arnage.  Now, Bentley has released official details on the super-sedan for its home market of the United Kingdom.

The Mulsanne is a very impressive new Bentley model, being the first all-new flagship exclusive to Bentley (as in, not shared with Rolls-Royce) in a long time.  It seems as if the market agrees: Stuart McCullough, Member of the Board for Sales & Marketing at Bentley says that "Even at this very early stage, the expression of interest we've received easily exceeds our 2010 production targets."

Over 1,000 private previews of the vehicle have been conducted for potential customers in the UK, Europe and in seven metropolitan markets in the United States.

The Mulsanne is set to go on sale in Summer 2010, starting at a price of £220,000 GBP (about $365K USD at current exchange rates)including taxes and and destination charges.

As expected, there is a ton of personalization options that will help to ensure no two Mulsannes need be exactly alike: 114 paint colors, 21 carpet colors, nine wood types and 24 different interior leather options. Mulsanne production will start production in the second quarter of 2010.
