Bentley has released new details about the Mulsanne's 6.75-liter twin-turbo V8 engine.
Taking nearly 30 hours to build, the engine features over 300 new (or significantly re-engineered) components to ensure it is more powerful and fuel efficient than its predecessor.
In terms of performance, the V8 produces 505 bhp (377 kW / 512 PS) and 1020 Nm (752 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the Mulsanne to rocket from 0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds (0-100 km/h in 5.3 seconds), before hitting a top speed of 184 mph (296 km/h).
Bentley shares with the world how the 2011 Mulsanne is painstakingly constructed by hand. The most recent video released over the internet is how their engine builders put the engine piece by piece and how they make the components work for the Mulsanne.
The mechanics show in the video how they make the 505-horsepower V8 monster with its 752 pound feet of torque. They show us how they put the crankshaft, insert the pistons, the assemblies of the pushrods, and more. Every car lover will love to see this video.
