The particular example of the Mulsanne, finished in Light Gazelle, will be available for viewing and scheduled walkabout presentations for a limited period from Apr 15-23.
The flagship grand tourer, which replaced the Arnage, marks a return of the name after 17 years. Inspired by the 8-litre from 1930, the vehicle features a 6¾-litre twin-turbo V8 that puts out 505bhp at 4,200rpm and a hefty 1,020Nm of torque early on at 1,750rpm. The block is mated to the same ZF 8HP eight-speed transmission as found on the BMW 760Li.
As expected, there's plenty of refinement and bespoke luxury to be found on this one, especially where the hand-crafted interior is concerned - lots of wood and leather here, for sure. Not that modern amenities on the 2.58 ton beast are lacking, of course; consider the standard offering of a 14-speaker audio system with Digital Signal processing and a six-CD changer, as well as a multimedia system with a 60GB hard disk and 8-inch LCD screen offering a multitude of control options, from telephone and AV to satellite navigation, among other things.
Other features include a new air suspension system with Continuous Damping Control, and 20-inch wheels as standard, though the example being shown in KL wears optional 21-inch wheels with 265/40 series rubbers.
