Bentley

Bentley, founded in 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley in England, is a British prestige automobile manufacturer specializing in grand touring cars and luxury sedans. The Bentley story revolves around a tradition of mechanical excellence and refinement combining performance and comfort, positioning the brand alongside competitors like Rolls-Royce and Jaguar in the ultra-premium segment. Between 1980 and 2020, Bentley developed a diverse Bentley range including emblematic models such as the Continental (launched in 1991 and became the company's icon), the Arnage (1998-2009) and the Continental GT coupe (2003), then the Bentayga SUV (2016), responding to the evolution of customer expectations. Acquired by the Volkswagen group in 1998, Bentley benefits from major technological synergy while maintaining its brand identity; production is concentrated mainly in Crewe, England, a historic center since 1946. Bentley models stand out for twin-turbo W12 and turbocharged V8 engines, nappa leather and rare wood interior finishes, as well as virtually unlimited customization. The Bentley technical specification reveals refined chassis, integrated comfort systems and cutting-edge technologies, reflecting a positioning beyond €200,000 for the entry-level model, targeting a demanding global clientele concentrated notably in Europe, Asia and the United States.
