Bentley will display their new flagship model, the Mulsanne Speed, at the North American International Auto Show.
Bentley has seen the best year for sales in its entire history with 11,020 cars being delivered in 2014 representing a 9% increase in global sales; the Mulsanne Speed will now be added to the line up.
The luxury manufacturer boasts that 530bhp will be provided by a revamped power train with a huge 6.75 litre twin-turbo V8; it will accelerate from 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 190mph. The Mulsanne Speed has also seen improvements in its efficiency with a 13% increase giving an extra 50 miles of range.
The line up for the Detroit show will also include the already beloved GT Speed Convertible and Flying Spur which enjoyed enormous acclaim in 2014.
Wolfgang Dürheimer, Chairman and Chief Executive, said: “We are starting this year in a strong position and I am delighted to showcase our latest models at the Detroit auto show. The US remains our largest market, accounting for nearly 30% of our business but we have seen an increase in customers all over the world last year, growing by 9% overall. 2015 is a landmark year for Bentley as we launch our greatly anticipated luxury SUV.’’
