Default 2011 Bentley Mulsanne

With the all-new 2011 Bentley Mulsanne, there's reason to believe that Bentley has a little grudge against its former sibling Rolls-Royce. The Mulsanne had its world debut at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours back in August, and Bentley makes no veiled references to challenging Rolls-Royce's Phantom with the new sedan. They're saying it outright, calling the Mulsanne the "pinnacle" of luxury cars.

With a 505-horsepower and a massive 752-pound-feet of torque churning out from its twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V-8 engine, an expected of pricetag of more than $300,000, and leather hide and wood trim as far as the eye can see, we have little reason to doubt those claims.

Named for the 90-degree turn at Le Mans, the Mulsanne arrives in the middle of next year, however, you can get a feel for the car and decide whether it has what it takes to topple the Rolls-Royce Phantom in this latest official video.

They were not real life shots. They look like brochure pics. The new shot offers a better look, so in the end you guys are wrong. These pics are new and better. I looked at the original post from August.
