There's a new top uber luxury saloon on the horizon and it is the Bentley Mulsanne. This new Bentley was revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance.

Where does the name come from? The name Mulsanne comes from the company's founder W.O. Bentley's crowning achievement in the 1930's : the 8 liter.

From Bentley:

Introducing the Bentley Mulsanne at Pebble Beach, where Bentley was the featured marque, Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen, Chairman and Chief Executive of Bentley Motors, said:

"The challenge we set our engineers was to create a new grand Bentley that would stand as the pinnacle of British luxury motoring, offering the world's most exclusive driving experience. They have responded to this challenge with real passion and the result is a luxury grand tourer that sets new standards in terms of comfort, effortless performance and hand-crafted refinement - the very qualities for which Bentley is renowned."
