2011 Bentley Mulsanne – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nBentley<\/a> just issued a press release, finally detailing all of the specs on their new Mulsanne<\/a> sedan…and it’s a big one. That applies to both the release itself and to the car, which will topple the scales at nearly three tons. The Bentley Mulsanne’s curb weight is listed at 5,700 pounds, or roughly three Lotus Elises<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pulling all of that luxury will be a twin-turbo 6.75-liter V8 producing 505 horsepower at 4200 rpm and a stump-pulling 752 pound-feet of torque at a very low 1750 rpm. There’s an 8-speed ZF automatic doing delivery work, helping the Mulsanne glide from 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds, to 100 in 11.6, and on to a top end of 184 miles per hour. Fuel economy is seldom a concern for owners of such vehicles, but the big Bentley has been rated at 16.7 mpg on the combined EU cycle.<\/p>\n

No doubt about it, this is one big sedan. For a similar curb weight the Mulsanne ends up being about seven inches longer than the outgoing Arnage<\/a>, an inch wider, a tenth of an inch taller, and a half foot more expansive between the axles. That’s pushing it almost into Maybach<\/a> levels, easily distancing it from top sedans from BMW<\/a>, Mercedes-Benz<\/a>, Jaguar<\/a> and Audi<\/a>. Only the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe<\/a> bests it, with the Phantom Sedan<\/a> in a whole ‘nother league. For those who buy their luxury by the pound, those kind of things matter. Follow the jump<\/a> to read all of the details, and we do mean all<\/em> of the details on this 2011 Bentley Mulsanne.<\/p>\n
