It"s the amazing new Bentley that sets fresh standards for performance and driveability ň€“ and it will spawn a family of models, including a coupé and convertible, too! This is the Mulsanne, a luxurious limousine with a 6.75-litre V8 that produces 510bhp and 1,020Nm of torque, plus boasts a hand-finished chassis and state-of-the-art air suspension. And Bentley is planning fresh replacements for both the Brooklands coupé and Azure convertible based on the newcomer, which made its public debut at Frankfurt. The company is certainly confident the Mulsanne will reset the luxury car benchmark for years to come. Speaking exclusively to Auto Express, Bentleyň€™s Dr Ulrich Eichhorn said: ň€śWith this car, we assessed the performance, craftsmanship and refinement of the Arnage ň€“ and enhanced it in every way. We have produced a car of the highest possible quality.ň€ťPowered by a 6.75-litre twin-turbo V8, the Mulsanne offers a number of firsts for the luxury sector, such as cam-phasing, which adjusts engine performance and fuel efficiency. Variable displacement technology is also featured, which shuts down cylinders to save fuel at cruising speed. Inside, thereň€™s a 2,200-watt Naim audio system with 20 speakers ň€“ all connected to a 40GB hard drive boasting the latest navigation technology and Internet connection.Buyers keen on the cabrio and coupé are likely to have to wait at least a couple of years for their introduction, however.

The sporty coupe is an adaption of Audi’s Nuvolari concept car. The show car was on display at the Geneva Motor Show in spring 2003 and our photos confirm that the new coupe will be considerably larger than the current A4, actually almost the size of today’s A6.

With the A5, Audi intends to be a step ahead of the strong A4 competitors such as BMW 3 series Coupé, Mercedes CLK and the VW-Convertible Eos. Due to the bigger size, Audi is indeed about to fill a gap on the sporty coupé-market. Neither the BMW 5-series, Mercedes E-class model ranges nor any other car maker in this class and size has a luxury coupe to offer.

At a later stage, the new Audi A5 convertible is going to be equipped with a traditional canvas top, while power for both versions is expected to come from two engines, a 3.0-litre TDI V6 and 3.2-litre FSI V6 petrol unit delivering 255 HP. The new model is expected to be released by the end of 2007.
