Bentley "Mulsanne"
The 2.9 crore beauty will be delivered to the Indian markets by October this year. “I think our expectations with Mulsanne has always been very strong. We don’t see the sales of the car but wait for its demand in the market. The moment I think would be strong we would probably be sold out, by the end of 2011,” said Chris Buxton the Bentley regional director.
The Mulsanne is a altogether revamped model and shares nothing with its forerunners. The Mulsanne will replace the aging Arnage in Bentley’s line-up, and will become the new flagship model. Fuel economy is claimed to have been improved by 15 percent compared to the Arnage along with a host of other changes and improvements in the engine, chassis, transmission and suspension.
“We will start global production of the Mulsanne in the second half of the year. We will produce 600 units of Mulsanne annually for the global market and the quota for India is yet to be decided. We have received global bookings even for the year 2011,” said Chris.
“India is the hub of luxury, the country of the former Kins who were the true supporters of custom-made luxury items. We have been getting cheering response from our valued customers and I think the launch of the Mulsanne will truly delight our loyal and discerning customers,” Bentley Regional Director (Middle East, Africa and India) Chris Buxton told journalists here.
