BENTLEY are set to unveil the most powerful car of their 105-year history in less than two weeks.
The British manufacturer is all set to reveal the third model from their reinvigorated Mulliner coach-building division on May 7.
However, wealthy enthusiasts will have move quickly, as only 16 examples will be built.
The new motor is expected to receive Bentley's "most potent" W12 engine to date, according to Autocar.
The luxury brand added that this will be one of the last appearances of the W12, which has been featured in their motors since 2003.
The 12-cylinder engine is present in more than 105,000 examples, making it the most abundant engine in the modern era.
It's been previously reported that all future Bentleys are set to be electrified – except for the bespoke Mulliner cars.
Their first EV car will arrive in 2026 and will be powered using a plug-in-hybrid powertrain.
The famous brand is yet to confirm specific details about the new Mulliner model.
However, a preview image released by Bentley revealed the car will further progress with their new design.
The highly-anticipated motor features a familiar rear lighting setup, but will also have a sloping ducktail spoiler which suggests the car will sportier than its predecessor.
Mulliner has been the key to Bentley's recent success with more than half of the brand's order book in 2023 comprised of the model.
It comes after an ultra-rare Lamborghini is set to sell for an eye-watering amount when it goes under the hammer at an auction next month.
And Britain's slowest Ferrari – with a top speed of just 15mph – could rake in £800,000.
