The newest Bentley has made its official debut at the Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance in Monterey, California.

The car is called the Mulsanne and will arrive next year as a 2011 model.

The name was last used on a sporty Bentley from the 1980s until 1992. It’s a reference to the famous Mulsanne Straight and Corner at Le Mans.

Bentley says that this car was inspired by the original eight-liter Bentley of 1930-31, which at the time, was conceived as the world’s largest and most luxurious automobile.

The Mulsanne gets a redone 6.75-liter V8. More details will be revealed at the Frankfurt motor show.

The Mulsanne arrives in mid-2010 with a pricetag likely approaching $300,000, before any custom finishes or materials are specified.

Bentley promises the new sedan’s wood, leather and brightware will be among the industry’s finest.
