Bentley has recently introduced the Mulsanne Shaheen at the 2013 Dubai Motor Show. Designed specifically for the Middle East, the special edition draws inspiration from the Shaheen eagle, a bird of prey that is embedded in Middle Eastern culture and society.
The British carmaker has created this car by taking inspiration from the colourings of the Shaheen eagle using Tungsten over Onyx paintwork, with Magnolia and Beluga leather and Dark Stained Burr Walnut Veneer for the interior. Final touches include a bespoke signature Mulsanne Shaheen logo adorned on the rear iPad picnic tables using a gold overlay.
The Mulsanne Shaheen will come complete with the Mulliner Driving Specification, blending a range of striking design features including unique 21-inch alloy wheels, Bentley Flying 'B' wing vents and Diamond Quilted leather trimmed cabin with driver-selectable, sports-tuned suspension and steering.
Further options include a Wi Fi hotspot, a large tilt-opening, tinted glass sunroof and an exquisitely designed, electrically operated bottle cooler.
Power comes from a twin-turbo 6.75-liter V8 engine which produces 512 hp and 1,020 Nm of torque. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that allows the luxury sedan to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.3 seconds and hit a top speed of 296 km/h.
