Bentley gears up for centenary countdown at Monterey Auto Week

Bentley announced the models that the company will showcase during the Monterey Auto Week in California August 23-26.

The centrepiece on display will be the Mulsanne W.O. Edition by Mulliner, a limited edition model that celebrates the company’s forthcoming centenary. Bentley will also highlight the Bentayga V8 and Bentayga Hybrid models.

The Mulsanne W.O. Edition by Mulliner pays homage to W.O. Bentley’s famous 1930 design and incorporates a genuine slice of crankshaft from the founder’s own personal car.

A true collector’s item, it will make its global public debut as the centrepiece of Bentley’s wide-ranging presence at one of the world’s most glamorous motoring occasions. It can also be viewed on August 24 at the Quail: A Motorsports Gathering; and on August 26 at the Concept Lawn - alongside its inspiration, the 8-Litre, at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

It will be joined by two new versions of the Bentley Bentayga, the world’s most luxurious SUV. The Bentayga V8 model blends exquisite luxury and power from a new generation 4.0-litre petrol engine. It offers responsive performance that is fully customisable on demand by the driver through Bentley’s Drive Dynamics system.

At the heart of the forthcoming Bentayga Hybrid is a highly efficient electric motor and a new, turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine with an electric range of 31 miles and CO2 emissions of just 75 g/km (NEDC) - making it the most fuel efficient Bentley ever.

Also on display will be the all-new Continental GT - a car that created the modern luxury Grand Tourer segment. Handcrafted in Great Britain, the third generation model is a statement of true luxury and takes Bentley ownership to a new level.
