Bentley Mulsanne's long awaited release in India took place on Saturday at the British High Commissioners residence in Delhi. The British High Commissioner, Sir Richard Stagg, and the Bentley regional director, Chris Buxton, unveiled the new model.
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 completely revamped model and shares nothing with its predecessors. 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.
