Bentley has announced a special edition of its Mulsanne to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Le Mans 24hour race, and 10 years since it won it in a Speed 8.It’s called, unsurprisingly, the Bentley Le Mans Limited Edition Mulsanne, and there are six versions available, each one inspired by a driver from Bentley’s six victories at La Sarthe. Each one features diamond-quilted hide for the seats and door panels, drilled alloy foot pedals, sports tuned suspension and steering, quad exhaust pipes and two-piece, five-spoke, dark tinted alloy wheels. Phew.And who are these mythical Bentley racers? First up you’ve got the John Duff Le Mans Mulsanne (dark grey ‘moonbeam’ exterior). The original ‘Bentley Boy’; Duff set over fifty world records for speed and endurance, and was the man who convinced Mr Bentley to participate in the very first 1923 Le Mans, going on to win it the following year.
