Set to replace the Arnage, the British firm's flagship model is motivated by a twin-turbocharged 6¾-litre V8 churning out 512 horsepower and a massive peak torque of 1020 Nm / 752 lb ft.

As well as performing the world premiere of the brand-new 2011 Mulsanne at this weekend's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in Monterey, California, Bentley also auctioned the first example of its 'uber' (let's not forget the car's VW Group roots...) luxurious flagship sedan at the Gooding & Company auction with chassis No1 being sold to an unnamed buyer for $500,000.
