Bentley Mulsanne has rolled out of the brand's facility in Crewe, England. Mulsanne has been Bentley's flagship limousine for just over a decade, and in that time over 7,300 examples have been sold.rnrnThe end of Mulsanne production is also the culmination of a line of Bentley luxury sedans that can trace their lineage back to the original  8 Litre of 1930, the latest car designed and developed by W.O. Bentley Based on this heritage, more than 700 people have invested nearly three million hours in making Mulsanne over the last 11 years.rnrnSince it's Pebble Beach debut in 2009, Mulsanne has seen many iterations. The first sports specification to drive a Mulliner was 2012. The most notable was the 2015 Mulsanne Speed, which debuted the 537PS and 1100Nm version of the 6.75-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. An exclusive sports steering and suspension system has also been added. With the arrival of the most luxurious facelift in 2016, the extended wheelbase option has also been added to the range with a 250mm wheelbase extension.rnrnBENTLEY MULSANNE BENTLEY MULSANNErnrnThe end of Mulsanne production also ends the 6.75-liter V8 L-Seris, which has been an engine in continuous production for 61 years.
