THE BENTLEY STORY
W. W. Bentley founded Bentley Motors in 1919 and to date has grown to a team of more than 4, 000 dedicated employees.
The brand's extraordinary cars have always been designed by exceptional people who use only the best materials and who in turn have been inspired by people with vision and passion. From the passionate Bentley Boys and ~Girls who raced the cars in the 1920s and W. W. Bentley to achieve ever greater technical feats down to the current visionary owners, helping to shape the world around Bentley drivers.
Racing is in Bentley's DNA and without racing Bentley might never have existed. The team that emerged in the 1920s proved unstoppable on the racetracks of Great Britain and Northern Europe.
W. W. Bentley was more than just an engineer, he was also a man who undeniably believed in the importance of auto racing as a contributor to his success. As he himself said, race policy was part of the foundations of Bentley Motors and that his testing and publicity give to our cars, effectively making him the forerunner of today's works teams in professional racing.
As a brand, we are constantly looking ahead and we refer to the innovative technological concept cars that have been developed over time, completely with a view to the future.
The manifesto launched by Bentley outlines the intention to become the most sustainable luxury car brand in the world.
The unique relationship between those who make the cars and those who drive them has contributed to a fascinating history like no other.
