02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model production6.75-litre V8 engines fitted to Mulsanne cars over the model run, which Top Gear says found homes in the "current Mulsanne" | 7,3001 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Development began in 2005 under the internal name Project Kimberley, and the Mulsanne was revealed at Pebble Beach in 2009 as "The Grand Bentley", replacing the Arnage. Production at Crewe ended in 2020, passing the flagship role to the Flying Spur.
