The prestigious brand celebrates its 100 years with a new GT Continental
Bentley Motors, founded 10th July 1919, is entering its 100th year of creating the world’s most iconic Grand Tourers, and the British luxury brand is honouring decades of innovation, achievement and craftsmanship by releasing a short film ‘An Extraordinary Grand Tour: The Story of Bentley’.
In 1919 Walter Owen (W.O.) Bentley created a company with a simple objective: to build “a fast car, a good car, the best in its class”. This guiding principle has driven Bentley ever since, pushing the brand forward and making it the leader in automotive luxury around the world.
Bentley Motors is the most sought after luxury car brand in the world. The combination of fine craftsmanship, using skills that have been handed down through generations, alongside engineering expertise and cutting-edge technology is unique to UK luxury car brands such as Bentley. It is also an example of high-value British manufacturing at its best.
The latest generation of the Bentley Continental GT is the definition of luxury grand touring. Designed, engineered and handcrafted in Great Britain, the third generation Continental GT has been launched to global acclaim. Blending the highest level of attention to detail and artistry with refinement and performance, it represents the very essence of the Bentley brand; Bentley has created the finest Grand Toured ever produced. The DNA which runs through every Continental GT began more than 65 years ago when the R-Type Continental was born. This new model stays true to its rich heritage whilst evolving to meet the needs and desires of the modern Bentley customer.
