宾利CEO 沃尔夫冈?杜翰墨(Wolfgang Dürheimer)间接证实宾利将在巴黎车展发布动力更强劲慕尚车型。他在接受古德伍德速度节上英国一家汽车网站时暗示，高性能慕尚符合车厂“运动豪华”的品牌形象。该车很可能继续保留6.75升V8双涡轮增压引擎，但功率将从原来的377千瓦505马力提升至410千瓦/550马力，车辆百公里加速时间从原来的5.3秒提升至不到5秒，最高时速296公里。虽然标致版重量达到2585公斤，但高性能版利用取自欧陆GT3-R的轻量化技术将减重100公斤。同时作为限量版车型，其底盘也将进行改进。

 

Bentley Mulsanne with 550 bhp heading to Paris Motor Show

Bentley CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer has indirectly confirmed a more powerful Mulsanne will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show.

 

Talking to Auto Express at the Goodwood FoS, Bentley's CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer hinted at a high-performance Mulsanne which would fit with the company's "sporting luxury" image.

 

The hotter Mulsanne will likely retain the twin-turbo 6.75-liter V8 engine but its output will increase from the series 505 bhp (377 kW) to somewhere in the region of 550 bhp (410 kW) which should decrease the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint time to less than 5 seconds taking into consideration the stock model needs 5.3 seconds before topping out at 184 mph (296 km/h).

 

The standard car weighs 2,585 kg (5,700 lbs) but the more potent version will likely go through a weight reduction as seen in the aforementioned Continental GT3-R which lost 100 kg (220 lbs). There should also be some chassis tweaks for what will likely end up being a limited-run model.
