Bentley Mulliner Continental
Geneva - Overshadowed somewhat by the sports car concept, the Mulliner package debuted as just another star on Oscar night. Borrowing the engine from the Continental T, the Mulliner package (available optionally on the entire Bentley two-door family) offers 420 horsepower and 650 foot-pounds of torque. Performance is said to be equal to that of the Continental T: zero to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, with a top speed of 170 mph (except on the speed-governed Continental SC and Azure, which are limited to 155 mph).
The suspensions have been tightened up to compensate for the extra power, and exterior treatments include flared wheel arches, freshened bumpers, and Mulliner badging. No word yet on pricing, but it'll be expensive. We'll have to cut back on the caviar if we want to save up, won't we?
