Bentley Le Mans Limited Edition Mulsanne At Pebble Beach
In order to mark the 90th anniversary of the Le Mans 24 hour race and the 10th year since it won the last one in a Speed 8 race car Bentley has revealed half a dozen extremely special limited edition Mulsannes.
Why half a dozen? It's because each of the six cars pay tribute to six legendary Bentley drivers who brought pride to the company at Le Mans races.
As far as the special features go Bentley has done what it does best. All six Mulsannes feature diamond studded leather on the seat covers and the door panels. The foot pedals are made out of drilled-alloy. It features sports suspensions and steering, quad exhaust pipes and dark tinted five spoke alloy wheels.
As is the case with ultra premium, ultra rare cars such as this price is never revealed publically. It will be unveiled at Pebble Beach, but we are pretty sure all six have been spoken for.
