Bentley launched a limited edition especially to celebrate the birthday of Queen Elisabeth II. To be more precise, we are talking about a bespoke edition of its Mulsanne luxury sedan. The model was revealed in Beijing at the Auto Show and its name is Diamond Jubilee. Only six units will be built as a symbol for her 6 years or reign. The limited edition has a unique paint and is covered in different other colors on the inside. The Diamond Jubilee hides under the hood a twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V8 engine capable of developing 505 horsepower and 1.020 Nm of torque. This amount of power enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and to reach a top speed of 296 km/h. The carmaker was very inspired when launched the new model in Beijing, as China is the largest market in the world for the brand.
