it's a Good Time For you To Keep in touch with the latest News update about Bentley Mulsanne Convertible Won't Be Offered In The United States

Bentley quietly unveiled the Mulsanne Convertible at the Dubai Motor Show and the automaker has just confirmed plans to build 19 units.

The company declined to confirm the car's rumored $3.5 million price tag but Bentley Motors Americas communications manager Erin Bronner said the model will not be offered in the United States.

While this is unfortunate, the Mulsanne Convertible is a limited edition model which will be built by Mulliner. The car was previewed by the Grand Convertible concept and it will effectively become a replacement for the Azure which was phased out in 2010.

Bentley's silence on the convertible is somewhat surprising but previous reports have suggested the car will pay tribute to company's 100th anniversary. The first cars are slated to be delivered in 2019 and production will be limited to 19 units as a nod to the company's founding back in 1919.

The car will reportedly be based on the Mulsanne Speed which features a twin-turbo 6.75-liter V8 engine that produces 530 hp (395 kW) and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of torque. The sedan can accelerate from 0-60 mph 4.8 seconds before hitting a top speed of 190 mph (305 km/h) but it remains unclear how much the conversion to a convertible with effect the model's performance.
