Following rumors earlier this month, Bentley has confirmed the more powerful variant of the Mulsanne will be dubbed the Speed.
Set to debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show in October, the Mulsanne Speed will be powered by a twin-turbo 6.75-liter V8 engine which develops approximately 550 hp - an increase of 45 hp. This could allow the car is to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 5 seconds and hit a top speed of roughly 321 km/h.
Beyond changes to the engine, the Mulsanne Speed will receive modifications to the chassis, suspension and steering. Furthermore, it will likely go through a weight reduction as seen in the Continental GT3-R which lost 100 kg.
The Bentley Mulsanne Speed is expected to cost more than £250,000 in the United Kingdom.
