Bentley celebrated its 90th anniversary on July 8 and confirmed its all-new model will be revealed — and named — on Aug. 16 at the Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance in Monterey, Calif., where the company is a featured marque.
Founded by W.O. Bentley in 1919, the company’s first production car, the three-litre, was delivered in September 1921.
During the 10 years, Bentley went on to produce an array of iconic motorcars.
A unique fusion of elegant design, hand craftsmanship and technological innovation, the new model embodies the potent yet luxuriously refined driving experience that is pure Bentley.
These have been the hallmarks of a Bentley since that first test drive in 1920.
It is fitting the 90th anniversary of the company will be marked by a new car.
Such events are rare milestones in the company’s history.
Designed, engineered and built in Crewe, which has been home to Bentley Motors for more than 60 years, it has been a once in a career experience for many involved.
